I’ve uploaded new event photos of Drew at the Los Angeles Premiere of ‘Grey Gardens’ & Academy Of Television Arts & Science Grey Garden Panel on April 16 & 17, 2009.
Grey Gardens is a dramatic adaptation of the Maysles brothers 1975 documentary about a mother/daughter shut-ins living in a dilapidated mansion in the East Hamptons. Big Edie (Jessica Lange) and her daughter Little Edie (Drew Barrymore) were relatives of first lady Jackie O (Jeanne Tripplehorn)(Little Edie was her Cousin, Big Edie her Aunt).

The actress – who plays Edith Bouvier Beale in the movie adaptation of the Grey Gardens documentary – says she lost so much weight during her time as the American socialite, the director ordered her to start munching on chocolate.
Drew explains, “I lost a lot of weight because I was so nervous I couldn’t eat, and I lost like 10 pounds.
“I try to lose 10 pounds and I can’t. Ironically, he needed me to gain 10 pounds and I could not get food down my throat. I was so uptight and freaked out all the time.”
Drew Barrymore has swapped her favoured worn jeans and old t-shirt look for some Old Hollywood glamour.
The star stepped on set of her new film Grey Gardens sporting soft curls, lashings of red lipstick and a thigh-skimming playsuit.
