She was only 7 when she was chosen by Steven Spielberg for “ET”: let’s talk about Drew Barrymore, who in the film (which Italia 1 will broadcast in prime time on Saturday 11 June, on the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of its theatrical release) plays Gertie, the little sister of the protagonist. Born on February 22, 1975, Drew Barrymore comes from a family of famous American film and theater actors: her father is John Drew Barrymore while her mother is Jaid Makò (the two divorced when the actress was nine years old). Perhaps not everyone knows that Barrymore got the role in “ET” thanks to the audition done for the role – then went to Heather O’Rourke – of Carol Anne in “Poltergeist – Demonic Presences” (the other project on which Spielberg was committed in 1982). But that’s not her only curiosity about her.
