Steven Spielberg is literally the best not dad ever. ;u; I cried.

[@UncensoredRadio]

She is such an honest soul and the people who love her really do. I tried not to shed a tear but you got me girl

[@Liz2727271]

David letterman is a good friend to have. I have loved watching Drew and him each time she was on his show.

[@michellepotter5763]

Ffr!!

[@asdfjkl7430]

"not dad," I like that.

[@natalianegritto]

After Charles Ingalls (Pa)

[@apetty5918]

So sad that she feels like Spielberg was the first person to care about her , because of her parents and hard childhood. Thank God she has him. So sweet 😢

[@guileniam]

@@oliviahafner561 how did you even get raised?

[@lalam3877]

I once heard that all you need is one solid person who loves you unconditionally and believes in wholeheartedly to succeed in life. They don't have to be blood, just one person. ❤️

[@lalam3877]

Olivia Hafner I was responding to the original poster about Drew Barrymores success.

[@kimmystewart6959]

Sorry but that isn't Steven Spielberg is David Letterman

[@mariaceciliarodriguez3973]

@@oliviahafner561 i have hope that you will have that person- better yet! Already know them and haven’t discovered it. Bless you and your faith! 💖

[@sapphir8]

Why the shock of seeing Letterman? Easy. He’s not an outgoing man. To get him to show up to an event or something is beyond difficult and he did it for her? Amazing. You could see it on her face. I’m a big fan of Drew Barrymore. She’s such an amazing person after going through a tough adolescence.

[@SCBarnabas]

I love Drew Barrymore! Happy Birthday Drew Barrymore!!!

[@Akhhmorn]

She's definitely an icon and for all the right reasons.

[@Michael-xi9nb]

Also kind of ill-timed after those Lohan and Aniston interviews that went viral.

[@Akhhmorn]

[@mikeandrews5541]

He’s 73 turning 74 in April

[@TheMissingLink1]

Drew is literally the most unproblematic celebrity ever. She's just a incredibly wonderful, grounded, and loving human being.

[@teresaf991]

Compared to her teenage years? At least how she was portrayed in the media, but apparently had lots of love and support. I LOVE THIS EPISODE.

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

Yeah. She was an edgy teen.

[@Dirtymousey]

Lol not when she was younger. She was a wild child but you’re prolly not old enough to remember that then based on your comment. She’s grown up a lot though and is perfect for a talk show.

[@robertjackson5645]

One of the few child stars to make it through showbiz, come out the other side AND THEN succeed again as an adult.

[@antoniabaker7770]

That comment is hilarious.

[@arielgilb880]

i cried this whole episode jeeeez! Protect Drew at all costs she's really an angel sent here to brighten our lives

[@rachellep5982]

I have a newfound respect for Steven Speilberg after this. So touching that she felt his care for her and they remain close to this day. I love how she acknowledges he's "the first person to care for (her)". You can truly feel the love right there.

[@lisamariealaniz7538]

Agree 💯

[@CarinaUrbani]

Imagine Steven Spielberg telling you to direct more?

[@markymark512]

He's not wrong though

i'm of the belief that drew is the most un-celebrity, celebrity to ever exist. i hope people understand what i mean by this.

[@doublefeature]

@Judgy Judgerton jamie? kind of a random name throw out. she seems awesome and like a badass woman, she did a great interview for like vanity fair or something where she revealed she struggled with addiction, pill addiction to be specific and i really admired and respected her for that.

The Steve segment made me cry. What a lovely friendship.

[@sims3edits557]

I went to a taping of James Corden, and when Drew came out she looked right at my sister and me and smiled and waved at us. She probably doesn’t remember it but it was just so welcoming. I didn’t feel like there was this celeb in front of me, just seemed like a really kind person. She was the best part of the taping, she seemed so genuine.
