I never get tired of seeing Drew reconnect with her acting friends. You can tell she's a really lovely person to work with.

I'd love to see her do one of these with David Keith and Heather Locklear, her on screen parents from "Firestarter"

I don't care for it. It's snobby, Self-absorbed. I don't care for watching a celebrity with her self-centered actor friends. Let's see her talk to real people. I miss old Hollywood.

She also played as Monroe's mother and Bart's wife, Alice, who is exactly like her son and her husband: Blutbad from the TV show called Grimm.

I loved her in the Freighteners. My favorite Michael J Fox film.

[@timafiggy]

Really loved her in Popcorn

[@jojopuppyfish]

I worked with Dee Wallace in a B- Movie in the 90s. Walked up to me on my first day on the set (They were a few weeks into production) and introduced herself. A VERY nice person. I was just Production Assistant. Lowest on the totem pole

[@mullaoslo]

The most behind the scenes stuff of her I've seen has been from the rob zombie movies she's done (and e t ofc) and she seems to be a blast to be around, very down to earth

[@suzannejane1035]

COOL!! x

[@j.a.whittler6983]

It doesn't matter what job you had on the movie set. Your job was important too 😊. You're still part of the process that creates the movie. Apparently, Dee was a down to earth woman and thank goodness for that. You were very fortunate to get to work with her.

it makes me emotional hearing about all the love drew barrymore received on E.T., especially when you consider her home life

[@jtstudio22]

My favorite childhood movie. Now as an adult I cry every time I watch ET.

[@Peppers19781978]

Same. First movie I saw in the theater. I am 43 now and the ending still makes me cry. Not ashamed to admit that at all. This was such a huge movie and just always brings me back to my childhood when I watch it.

Facts!! Me too! I watched it in the theater for the first time and I cried at the end. I was not born when it originally came out and I watched it growing up, but watching it in the theater was like watching it for the first time and WOW!!! WHAT A MAGICAL EXPERIENCE THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET!!💙

[@sunshineandwarmth]

My best friend devised a scheme for us to get out of work to see the premiere showing. We were about 30! I thought she'd lost her mind dragging me to a kiddie show and maybe get us fired.😂😂😅 But all went well and we cried when ET was dying. Never saw it again.

What a sweet story of S Spielberg keeping ET manned so little Drew could always talk to him. So sweet🥰

[@ConglomerationCat]

The look on Dee's face when Drew's talking... That look that says you've been through it all and you've come out the other side stronger than ever and blossomed into a beautiful lady.

[@MartinGarcia-km4qs]

Drew still has that "little girl" face. And i also like her lisp. It makes her look even cuter! Ive always been a fan. Now Dee Wallace, she was also in the Halloween movie franchise.

[@lar9299]

I don't think I've ever seen a celebrity to be so emotionally open about EVERYTHING! Drew is so authentic and transparent and open ❤️❤️❤️

[@sunshineandwarmth]

Yes. She is such a vulnerable person that nobody wants to hurt her. It's as if she would desolve if she were hurt one more time.

[@joseluisanaya5738]

It’s fun to believe how Dee could have starred in so many horror movies, B-movies, sci-fi/horrors, slashers, violent hardcore bloody movies, and yet can be a happy-go-lucky blonde with a heart of gold, with an infectious humor and a warm presence with big humility. Dee became everyone’s mom in “E.T.” , her performance is so iconic & timeless, she embodied not only the American mom, but a worlwide mom we all kids, any age and from every country, loved her instantly. Dee Wallace is an American, national treasure.

[@loromas63]

Dee is a timeless beauty. She does not age!

[@edsmith]

Wow! Dee Wallace hasn't aged! Amazing!

[@dod2304]

Dee was my Aunt's college roomate. She was "DeeDee" in those days. I was about 11 years old and got to go stay with my Aunt for the weekend. My Aunt had to go out for an hour or two, so DeeDee stayed with me. She taught me how to play a card game called "Oh Hell" and I had fun, but was very concerned because I was not allowed to say the word "hell"! LOL Its a really good memory.

[@darrenmiller6927]

Oh the memories. I'm older too now. I'm 57, going to be 58 in October. Thanks for having Dee Wallace on. You guys really warmed my heart. 18, at the most! Gosh what happened Drew, time just flys by.

[@Peppers19781978]

E.T. was the first movie I saw in the theater. I am 43 now. 40 years later it remains my favorite movie and I will admit the ending makes me tear up every time I watch it. I think I can speak for most young boys who first saw this that we all wanted to be Elliot. Drew was my first little childhood crush. I met Dee years ago. So amazingly nice. I jokingly asked her for Drew's number. She said if she had it she would hook me up. Of course she wasn't being serious but hey, a guy can dream right. I would love a full E.T. reunion on Drew's show. They have done it for past anniversaries, for some cons (minus Drew, Spielberg etc) but this is the big 40. You can also tell each time they come together how imporant this movie was to all of them.

[@nancypetkovic6999]

Cried my eyes out when I watched ET....still do when they find him in the woods😢....love seeing the 2 of you together💗

[@stacyfabiszewski4633]

What a wonderful, and surprising moment for Drew, her face lights up the moment Dee comes on the stage and you can just see it in Drew's eyes and smile she's in Awwwww the whole entire time she's talking and just remembering everything from E.T. Drew was so happy and excited. I am so happy that Dee came on to surprise Drew. Dee is amazing. Love you lots Drew ! So happy for you. I can't believe that it's been 40 years since E.T. came out, time flies.
