- LOS ANGELES — Hollywood star Drew Barrymore, who turns 50 on February 22, is set
to follow a family "tradition" by celebrating the milestone with a series of sleepovers.
-
- Barrymore, who has Olive and Frankie with ex-husband Will
Kopelman, told Us Weekly: "I’ve always spent the night with them on my
birthday and their birthdays.
-
- "We have a tradition, so I’m doing a night or two of
sleepovers leading up, and then I’m doing a sleepover with my daughters on my
50th. But the whole theme of the 50th birthday is sleepovers. Sleepovers should
never go away."
-
- The “51st date” star actually feels happier and healthier
than ever as she approaches her 50th birthday, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
-
- The actress, who first found fame as a child, starring in
the 1982 sci-fi movie 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial', shared: "I don’t think
I’ve ever known a happiness that I feel now, and I just didn’t know I would
ever get here."
-
- Barrymore is also trying to strike the right balance in
how she parents her children.
-
- She is keen to give them some degree of freedom, but she
also feels a responsibility to steer them in the right direction in life.
-
- The 'Charlie's Angels' star, who was married to Will
between 2012 and 2016, explained: "They are who they are, and they’re
their own people.
-
- "I’m not desperate to impose upon them at all who
they should be, but sometimes I feel it’s my responsibility to show them how to
be and that there’s just no room for not being kind to people or gracious or
grateful. If I had one battle to choose, it would just be that they’re kind,
good, humble, grateful people and that they feel safe."
-
- Barrymore has received several awards and nominations,
including a Golden Globe Award, in addition to nominations for nine Emmy Awards
and a British Academy Film Award. She was named one of the 100 most influential
people in the world in 2023.
