drew and i ended up in an elevator together long ago, she was coming from an audition for Aeon Flux (Charlize Theron got the role, Drew and Charlize had the same agent at UTA, RIP JJ Harris) so she had on black rubber catsuit and a black bob-wig and as we were riding the elevator she started chatting with me, she shared that she had to work at a coffee house in Sherman Oaks when she was 15 to "ground her" after getting in legal trouble for something and that when rude customers would come in and treat her badly she would spit in their coffee, we had a laugh and I will never forget how down-to-earth and friendly she was. glad to see her happy.

It's amazing that this girl that used to be such a wild child hippie girl in the 90s, and has grown up to rockin' a middle aged librarian look. But Drew seems to embrace this "older lady" look, and kids that don't remember how Drew was before say I don't know, 2009 or something will think she always walked around looking like this. She looks very nice, but I miss young Drew.

Yeah same. It’s so weird to see her “older” now when she was such a wild child back in the 80s and 90s, even some of the 2000s. But she’s aging very gracefully.
