It will be the third walk down the aisle for Barrymore, who wed Welsh bar owner Jeremy Thomas in March 1994 -- only to split just a month later. Her second marriage, to comic Tom Green, was similarly short lived: They wed in July 2001, and Green filed for divorce that December.

Scream queen
Drew Barrymore started out as America's sweetheart, coming from a family legacy of actors, but the wild world of Hollywood sent her spiraling into drugs, alcohol and unstable relationships. Through it all, Barrymore has come out on top -- still making movies and proving that she's a star.

She screams her way to stardom with her breakout role in the 1982 Steven Spielberg film "E.T."

'Little Girl Lost'
She chronicles her drug- and alcohol-fueled life as a Hollywood wild child in her 1990 autobiography, "Little Girl Lost."

"I started smoking cigarettes when I was 9½ ... I was also a club-hopper at 10, as much as a 10-year-old can be ... When I was 10½, I was sitting in a room with a group of young adults who were smoking pot. I wanted to try some, and they said, 'Sure. Isn't it cute, a little girl getting stoned?' Eventually that got boring, and my addict mind told me, 'Well, if smoking pot is cute, it'll also be cute to get the heavier stuff like cocaine.' It was gradual," Barrymore confesses in the book.
