Reply to comment by Greene_Mr in TIL that Drew Barrymore's family heritage (The Barrymores) had been acting since the 1800's. by hypnotoad--

She's a writer :)

I'd rather not give away too much information for obvious reasons, but she's done the writing for a couple of shows on a major network and was able to transition her skills into screenwriting after a few years in the industry (and a few terrific people she's worked with)

Nice! :-) For film, television, or both?

She initially began with small shows and got an internship working in television for a network, thanks to a relative. She transitioned to film after some time working and building her resume with a few projects. A few people took a chance on her and it's been an uphill battle, for sure, but she's happy.

Thank you! :-) Maybe they have -- my cousin was poised to become a staff writer on a show if a pilot about forest cops got picked up, but sadly it didn't.
