Barrymore's first name, Drew, was the maiden name of her paternal great-grandmother Georgie Drew, and her middle name, Blythe, was derived from the birth surname (Blyth) of her great-grandfather who later took the stage name of Maurice Barrymore. In her 1991 autobiography Little Girl Lost, Barrymore recounted early memories of her abusive father, who left the family when she was six months old. She and her father never had a significant relationship and seldom spoke.{{Cite book|title=Newsmakers, The People Behind Today's Headlines|last1=Collins|first1=Louise Mooney|last2=Speace|first2=Geri J.|publisher=Gale Research Inc.|year=1995|isbn=0-8103-5745-3|location=New York|pages=[https://archive.org/details/newsmakerspeople0000unse_t2w0/page/28 28–31]|url=https://archive.org/details/newsmakerspeople0000unse_t2w0/page/28}}

Barrymore grew up on Poinsettia Place in West Hollywood, until she moved to Sherman Oaks at the age of seven. In her 2015 memoir Wildflower, she says she spoke "like a valley girl" because she grew up in Sherman Oaks. She moved back to West Hollywood on becoming emancipated at age 14.{{harvnb|Barrymore|2015|pages=2; 7}} She attended elementary school at Fountain Day School in West Hollywood and Country School.{{harvnb|Barrymore|2015|page=156}} In the wake of her sudden stardom, Barrymore endured a notoriously troubled childhood. She was a regular at Studio 54 as a young girl, and her nightlife and constant partying became a popular subject with the media. She was placed in rehab at 13, and spent eighteen months in an institution for the mentally ill.{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2015/oct/25/drew-barrymore-mother-locked-up-in-institution-interview |title=Drew Barrymore: 'My mother locked me up in an institution at 13.

The stay was precipitated, Crosby said, because she "needed to be around some people that were committed to sobriety." Barrymore described this period of her life for Little Girl Lost. After a successful juvenile court petition for emancipation, she moved into her own apartment at the age of 15.

Barrymore appeared in a dog food commercial when she was eleven months old. After her film debut with a small role in Altered States, she played Gertie in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

It received positive reviews and Barrymore was nominated for a Young Artist Award for Best Leading Young Actress.{{cite web|url= https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/cats_eye/|title= Cat's Eye|website= Rotten Tomatoes|date= October 2002|access-date= February 3, 2017|archive-date= February 3, 2017|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20170203162439/https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/cats_eye/|url-status= live}} For Dangerous Liaisons, Barrymore declined the role of Cecile, which went to Uma Thurman.

Barrymore had a small role in Wes Craven's slasher film Scream (1996). She read the film's script and was interested in being involved, approaching the production team herself to request a role. The producers were quick to take advantage of her unexpected interest and signed her to play the lead role of Sidney Prescott. However, after unexpected commitments, Barrymore played Casey Becker in a minor role and Neve Campbell took the leading one.Diana Rico (October 31, 2001). E! A True Hollywood Story: Scream. E!
