Why you don't hear from Drew Barrymore anymore

Actress Drew Barrymore grew up in the spotlight. She began as a child star, then became a Hollywood wild child. She was drinking and doing drugs when most girls are playing with Barbie dolls. Since then, she's had a few husbands, one very memorable incident on The Late Show with David Letterman, and a whole lot of drama. But what's she up to these days?

Santa Clarita Diet pulled her out of a funk

When Santa Clarita Diet landed in Barrymore's lap, she was literally in the middle of her divorce from Kopelman, but the optics of their split, which by most accounts appeared as friendly as divorces can possibly be, didn't turn into a tabloid nightmare. That reportedly left her feeling safe enough to dip her toe back into the world of super stardom.

"Ironically, it wasn't the worst timing. It was great. It was really happy. It was a good summer. My daughters and I got to go out to California and I got three days off a week," she told The Guardian of her surprisingly chill experience shooting the first season of the Netflix zombie comedy.

She also felt that playing the character of Sheila, a suburban wife whose life gets turned inside out when she inexplicably develops a taste for human flesh, was something of a catharsis. "I feel like Sheila. I feel like maybe I was dead inside," Barrymore told The Guardian. "I don't know. I was in a place in my life where I had gained a lot of weight, and been in a place of fear and sadness, and I felt stuck. I don't think that's so much unlike the character."

Okay, so maybe nobody tell Kopelman that his ex-wife possibly just compared the dissolution of their marriage with her turning into a flesh-eating monster.

She is probably wealthy and made her money. Her family was rich even without her, so she doesn't have to work (and believe it or not, acting is work) and lives in luxury.

Secondly, she is in her 40's and most people think of her as a teen or a young person, and she isn't anymore. But I still think my above paragraph is applicable in her situation.
