Drew Barrymore's Surprise Birthday Special: David Letterman, Cameron Diaz, Steven Spielberg & More

[@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.

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]

[@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.

[@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.
