One explanation of why I'd want Drew Barrymore to play me in the movie of my life

"(Barrymore's) radiance is like an electrical current that everyone around her can happily plug into. I've seen some Drew Barrymore movies that could easily qualify as lousy, and yet I've enjoyed even the worst of them simply because of her presence -- just the sight of her is enough to turn anyone's critical judgment into a happy-face doodle. Looking at her, you can't decide if her face belongs on a chapel ceiling or a naughty '20s postcard -- she's a classic, indefinable, joyous beauty."
