Performance of the Day

Actor: LEELEE SOBIESKI

Film: "Never Been Kissed"

Character: Aldys

Year: 1999

This was one of the first times Leelee Sobieski was introduced to audiences and she really made an impact. Cast as the uber-nerd Aldys, she befriended an ultra-dorky Drew Barrymore when no one else would. Haven't heard from her much lately (except that she had a baby earlier in the year), but I'm hoping she comes back strong.

Did You Know...

... Ellen Page was originally going to star in Sam Raimi's "Drag Me to Hell". She dropped out to star in Drew Barrymore's "Whip It". Alison Lohman took her spot.

Did You Know...

... Drew Barrymore and Edward Norton were roommates after they both starred in Woody Allen's "Everyone Says I Love You". Check out an amazing interview with Barrymore from Harper's Bazaar circa 1996. There's some good stuff in it (like Drew was originally attached to the Brandon Teena story, i.e. "Boys Don't Cry" which won Hilary Swank an Oscar in 2000. Imagine that!).

PS: that 'secret' boyfriend Drew is referring to was... Luke Wilson.

Back at the 1989 ceremony, there seemed to be a lot of not-so-famous

actors who dated one another (but were destined for failure as a couple)

Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Downey, Jr. dated

for years before either was very famous.

Drew Barrymore and Corey Feldman were an item.

Drew had a stalled career and Feldman was nearing

the end of his fame.

Martha Plimpton and Oscar nominee River Phoenix

were sweet on each other, but broke up soon afterwards.

Tom Cruise (who was already famous, but not a mega

star) was actually married to Mimi Rogers at this point.

Strange match. They divorced in 1990.

Happy 36th Birthday, Drew Barrymore!!!

13 Best Wedding-Themed Films

6) THE WEDDING SINGER

Director: Michael Coraci

Actors: Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, Christine Taylor, Allen Covert,

Matthew Glave, Angela Featherstone, Alexis Arquette, Ellen Dow

Year: 1998

How can you go wrong with a movie that takes place in the 80s (but was made in the 90s)? Adam Sandler takes on the title role with a very funny and, surprisingly, sweet performance. After being stood up by his own bride, Robbie (Sandler) meets and falls for wedding waitress Julia (Barrymore). The only problem is, she's already engaged. Arquette sibling, Alexis is incredible as a Boy George-wannabe.

20 Best Teen/High School Movies

I know what you're thinking. Teen flicks are crap and I agree with you... most of the time. Here's 20 of the best teen/high school movies of all time.

20.) NEVER BEEN KISSED

Director: Raja Gosnell

Actors: Drew Barrymore, David Arquette, Lelee Sobieski,

Michael Vartan, Jordan Ladd, Jeremy Jordan, Molly Shannon,

John C. Reilly, James Franco, Jessica Alba, Marley Shelton

Year: 1999

If you could, would you repeat high school? As appealing as the acne, immaturity, and teasing sounds, I'm gonna have to pass. Not Drew Barrymore. 'Chicago Tribune' journalist Josie (Barrymore) takes on an undercover gig and goes back to high school. After arriving, however, Josie learns the all-important lesson; Once a geek, always a geek.

12.) SCREAM

Director: Wes Craven

Actors: Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette,

Skeet Ulrich, Matthew Lillard, Jamie Kennedy, Rose McGowan,

Drew Barrymore, Henry Winkler, Liev Schreiber

Year: 1996

When you think of teen horror movies, you probably want to think again. Most of them are trash. This original, witty flick, however, from the warped mind of horror master Wes Craven, is very alluring. The story revolves around Sydney (Campbell), the victim of a masked madman who likes to torment his victims with... calls and scary movie trivia. This film helped jump-start the rush of teen horror films (and Drew Barrymore's fledgling career), a genre that had been dead since the 80s.
