From the little girl who gave a petrifying scream at the site of the extra terrestrial in Steven Spielberg’s 1982 movie, E.T. to the drug abusing teenager, Drew Barrymore has kept herself in the public eye for more than three decades, for better or for worse.

But since her appearance on the cover of Hugh Hefner’s Playboy magazine in January 1995, Drew has become more of a sex symbol and somewhat of a fashion icon rather than a troubled celebrity. Along with her Playboy bunny girl pictorial, Barrymore was chosen by People magazine in 1997 as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World.

Today, Drew attracts attention for less provocative reasons and more for being a respected member of the Hollywood elite.

At the 2008 Golden Globe Awards last week, Barrymore, was the talk of the town with her new ‘big hair’ style which certainly gave her the appearance of a stunning beauty with grace, poise and confidence.

This new look is possibly associated with 33 year old Drew’s recognition that after two broken marriages, first in 1994 to bartender Jeremy Thomas and then to comedian Tom Green, the single life is the best way for her to live her life and to concentrate on her career and her appearance.

Drew is about to hit box offices in February along side Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston and Scarlett Johansson in her latest movie He’s Just Not That into You, which is based on the best selling book featured in Sex and the City, by Greg Behrendt.
