I have to say this about Drew..


Something always bothered me about her looks, her face looked very off to me in the 2000's especially. I mean I couldn't put my finger on it exactly. I remember around the time of Charlies Angel's full throttle thinking she looked down right terrible. I know she claims to have quit drinking and the drugs in her early 20's but she had the bloated alcoholic face for years after she supposedly ''quit''. The funny thing is now she looks much better and her face no longer has that swelled look.

Truth be told I think she's only got herself together in recent years and was still an addict for much of her adult life and it showed.

But, for a stitch in time she was everything- "Scream." Cute, cuddly, a gf to, well die for. It was right there & Craven captured it for the ages.

Oh I agree, she looked normal in her ''mad love and scream'' days. But by the time the early 2000's rolled around looked really bad.

She looked a bit off in the latest season of Santa Clarita. She was nicely thick the last season but this season she still had the thickness but she also had some bloating.

I guess it's a life long battle against alcoholism. Off and on. I hope her daughters never go down the same road as her, circumstances are different but there is a genetic component to alcoholism.

She looked at her prime from about 1992 to around 2000, although they purposefully uglified her in Never Been Kissed. I don't tend to go for people in their late teens (I prefer women who in their twenties and above), but Drew is a good few years older than me so I don't feel too creepy and weird saying I fancied her when she was around 17/18.

But what's nice about Drew is that she's never allowed herself to become stick-thin and/or botoxed like a lot of other actors.
