Horrific Round

[ChristmasNeeve]

Also, Drew Barrymore did have very troubled teenage years life, partying and on drugs since she was really young, not even a teen iirc, I didn't say her but she was one I considered

[Shaun]

ah okay, I assumed she was never in contention because she's been stable / a huge Hollywood actress for decades now (I don't remember anything since I became aware of her through Charlie's Angels, Scream, etc)

She was a big child star since she was 4, in ET, she went massively off the rails, just looking there :

At seven, she’s a film star pouring Baileys over her ice-cream, at 11 she develops a drink problem, at 12 she’s a drug addict, at 13 she cuts her wrists and is hospitalised, and at 14 she’s legally divorced from her parents. Of course, you wouldn’t make the movie. Too far-fetched. There’s only so much disbelief that one can willingly suspend.

But you’ve not heard the half of Drew Barrymore’s story. Unemployable as an actor at 15, cleaning toilets at 16, she was twice married and twice divorced by her mid-20s.

Well not quite as bad as I feared

How merciful are you feeling Shaun about my 12.07 PM asking for an answer change to Jimmy Saville on 15

Was a very late lightbulb moment

[Shaun]

I've just edited it yeah, you're lucky because I nearly deleted the list of other people who also said his name (and therefore get a bonus point from you)
