Drew and Jessica Take Their Grey Into White in LA

Molly — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 06:00:00 -0700

Drew Barrymore traded in her retro net for something a little more whimsical for the Grey Gardens premiere in LA. She was still close by the side of her costar Jessica Lange, and the two were joined by some other lovely ladies - Ali Larter and Jennie Garth. Drew has been bubbling over with excitement about the movie for months and doesn't have enough great things to say about the story and experience. Luckily, Drew and Jessica don't have to spend the weekend checking the box office standings since their movie is airing Saturday night on HBO.

Drew Isn't Afraid of Red Carpet Annihilation at Grey Gardens

Molly — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 06:00:00 -0700

Drew Barrymore perfectly looked the part at the premiere of Grey Gardens in NYC last night. She was joined by costars Jessica Lange - who looked great after her recent fall - and Jeanne Tripplehorn. It was a rainy night in Manhattan but the HBO movie's stars smiled big on the red carpet. Drew Barrymore's maybe on-again boyfriend and definitely repeat costar Justin Long also came out to support the film. On the red carpet Drew talked about taking on the role and how she related to her character:

On her red carpet fashion: "People get annihilated if people don’t like what they’re wearing, but then they dress plain to not get annihilated and then that’s boring. So I don’t care what people say I want to have fun with fashion."
On playing Little Edie: "I only care about if she thinks that I did right by her. And I lived and breathed her for three months, I cut off myself from the rest of the world to literally understand really being isolated in life and not live in a world with technology and to not have friends and family in abundance around me and I just kept thinking, 'I just want to honor you, I just want to honor you, I just want to honor you.'"
On missing playing the part: "The whole thing was challenging and scary. I’ve never been so terrified in my life [as when I was] pulling off Little Edie. . . I think one of my favorite things about her is her - and maybe it’s a character flaw, but I find it wonderful - is that she’s not afraid to show her emotions. She’s not afraid to be childlike. She’s not afraid to dance around a room. She’s not afraid to be angry. She’s not afraid to be vulnerable and quiet and calm and sad and to have that level of range as a human being I just find that rather interesting."

Grey Gardens premieres this Saturday on HBO. To see more from the premiere including Kristen Wiig, Justin Long, Stanley Tucci and others just read more.

Drew Barrymore Is Still in the Grey Gardens

PopSugar — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 15:00:13 -0800

Drew Barrymore looked pouty but pretty in her fab 40s era outfit around the set of Grey Gardens in Toronto yesterday. From period piece to her gorgeous Gucci ads, we've been seeing all sorts of sides of flower child Drew. Last time we saw Drew on the set she was in all white and we're excited to see the rest of the ladies in their fabulous wardrobes, especially now that Jeanne Tripplehorn has signed on as the role of Jackie O in the film.

Drew Dabbles in Grey Gardens

PopSugar — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 10:31:46 -0700

Drew Barrymore was seen filming in Toronto on the set of Grey Gardens yesterday. Chameleon Drew sure looks different here than her last movie set where she was busy with a parrot on her shoulder. In this movie, Drew plays the eccentric first cousin of Jackie Kennedy who slowly loses her sense of reality as she starts spending her time in isolation at her summer home with her mother. Definitely sounds like a far cry from He's Just Not That Into You, but as a free spirit and solid actress we know Drew likes to mix it up.

Drew Takes to play Spinster, Cat Lady in Grey Gardens

PopSugar — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 15:07:28 -0700

Taking a break from her tunes, Drew played it cool at LAX this week. We've been caught up in her preferred relaxation techniques and new man recently, but she's got big projects on the horizon, too. Drew is producing and starring in the film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical (which came from a documentary) Grey Gardens, based on the lives of Edith and Edith Bouvier Beale, the eccentric aunt and first cousin of Jackie Kennedy.

Jessica Lange and Drew will co-star as the mother and daughter debutantes who become reclusive, refuse to wash and let their 50 cats rule the house as their wealth dwindles. I think it's safe to say we've never seen bubbly Drew in a role like this before, but we're excited to see her more serious side, too!

Drew Leads Her Own Parade to Happiness

PopSugar — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 14:30:00 -0700

Drew Barrymore is on the cover of this week's Parade magazine, looking adorable in her brightly colored outfits. While Sunday's Emmy Awards were all about Grey Gardens, Drew sat down with the magazine to discuss her upcoming directorial debut, Whip It! She also opened up about her views on love, growing up in Hollywood, and her relationship with her mother - a theme that's explored in depth through her film. Here's more:

What she learned from growing up in Hollywood: "I've stopped believing in happy endings. I've started believing in good days. At the end of my movie, there's honesty. There's truth. There's peace. What tomorrow will bring is still in question. There is a joy that's earned by failure or triumph. All those things add up to teach us, if we are open to it."
Where her relationship stands with her mother: "I believe she will see the film [Whip It]. I believe she does feel pride in me. I used to pull a lot emotionally from all the stuff with my family, but I did not do this movie to cleanse myself of the mother/daughter debacle that happened in my life. I have been much more objective about my childhood and my relationship with my mother in these last few years."
Her outlook on happiness: "It feels as if I'm willing myself to be happy. I do feel as if I am thrusting myself forward all the time. Nancy, who runs my production company and is my favorite person I've met in my life so far, had on her refrigerator the sign 'HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE.' When I first saw it, I thought, 'That is so simple and yet complex and wise."
