This child star apparently couldn’t really cope with her sudden stardom.
Barrymore was already a regular at the famous club called “Studio 54” when she was only a little girl.
She was smoking cigarettes at the age of nine, drinking alcohol by the time she was eleven, smoking marijuana at the age of twelve, and even snorting cocaine at the age of thirteen.
Consequently, her constant partying became quite public and soon all the world knew about her shenanigans.
At the age of fourteen she ended up in rehab, which resulted in her attempting to commit suicide.
