Santa Clarita Diet

‘Santa Clarita Diet’ died, but Drew Barrymore trivia lives on

/ 5 Questions / By

I’ve recently been watching “Santa Clarita Diet,” starring Drew Barrymore as a suburban mom and realtor who one day discovers she’s become undead and starts ripping out dude’s necks and feasting on them. It’s hilarious and dark, and I’m sad because I know it got cancelled on a cliffhanger after Season 3 — but I’m going to keep watching anyway.

Also, who knew Timothy Olyphant had such comedic chops? He might be the best part of the show, honestly.

That being said, Drew Barrymore has been one of my faves since probably “E.T.” I love her in a rom-com. And on many more than one occasion I have taken a picture of her to my hairstylist for reference. Yes, especially the “Mad Love” hair.

Try this Drew Barrymore trivia on for size.

Questions:

  1. In what 1984 film did Barrymore play a 9-year-old girl who is fed up with being caught in the custody battle of her career-obsessed parents, played by Ryan O’Neal and Shelley Long, so she sues them for emancipation?
  2. After her “precocious child” phase and before her “powerhouse producer” phase, Barrymore played on her bad girl of Hollywood image in schlocky movies like “Poison Ivy” and what TV biopic about the “Long Island Lolita”?
  3. Barrymore played Danielle de Barbarac in the postfeminist reimagining of the “Cinderella” fairy tale, “Ever After.” Instead of a fairy godmother, Danielle gets ready for the king’s ball with the help of what historically (probably) inaccurate artist and inventor, who makes her a pair of angel wings to wear?
  4. In “The Wedding Singer,” Barrymore played Julia, the love interest for Adam Sandler’s Robbie. Their romance is hindered by her engagement to another man, Glenn, who’s pretty much a pig. While trying on her wedding dress, Julia tearfully realizes that if she marries Glenn, her name will be what?
  5. Barrymore was nominated for an Emmy for her role as Little Edie in what fictionalized version of a documentary of the same name that explores the strange lives of two relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy?
