A few turbulent years followed, but Barrymore managed to shrug off her reputation as a wild child and turn her languishing film career around by forming her own production company, Flower Films, in the mid-90s.

A stream of hit 90s movies followed, including Scream, The Wedding Singer and Never Been Kissed.

Charlie's Angels, co-starring Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu, was the first big commercial success for Barrymore's production company in 2003 and she's never looked back since, building up a portfolio of successful films and performances through the Naughties. She married Kopelman in June 2012 and they had their first child three months later.

"I love the wonderful and awkward journey that I’ve been on - it’s forced me to grow so much," Barrymore said recently. "You learn to draw on the good and the bad times. One thing I’ve learned is to take a deep breath before reacting to something. That’s a big change that’s helped me get where I am."
