An engagement or betrothal is a promise to marry, and also the period of time between proposal and marriagewhich may be lengthy or trivial. During this period, a couple is said to be betrothed, affianced, engaged to be married, or simply engaged. Future brides and grooms may be called the betrothed, a wife-to-be or husband-to-be, fiancées or fiancés, respectively (from the French word fiancé). The duration of the courtship varies vastly.

Long engagements were once common in formal arranged marriages and it was not uncommon for parents betrothing children to arrange such many years before the engaged couple were old enough to marry.

Origin

The origins of European engagement in marriage practice is found in the Jewish law (Torah), first exemplified by Abraham, and outlined in the last Talmudic tractate of the Nashim (Women) order, where marriage consists of two separate acts, called ''erusin'' (or ''kiddushin'', meaning ''sanctification''), which is the betrothal ceremony, and ''nissu'in'' or ''chupah'', the actual ceremony for the marriage. ''Erusin'' changes the couple's interpersonal status, while ''nissu'in'' brings about the legal consequences of the change of status. (However, in the Talmud and other sources of Jewish law there is also a process, called ''shidduchin'', corresponding to what today is called engagement. Marrying without such an agreement is considered immoral. To complicate matters,''erusin'' in modern Hebrew means engagement, not betrothal.)

This was later adopted in Ancient Greece as the ''gamos'' and ''engeysis'' rituals, although unlike in Judaism the contract made in front of witness was only verbal. The giving of a ring was eventually borrowed from Judaism by Roman marriage law, with the fiancé presenting it after swearing the oath of marriage intent, and presenting of the gifts at the engagement party.

Betrothal

Betrothal (also called espousal) is a formal state of engagement to be married.

In Jewish weddings during Talmudic times (c.1st century BC - 6th century AD), the two ceremonies of betrothal (''erusin'') and wedding usually took place up to a year apart; the bride lived with her parents until the actual marriage ceremony (''nissuin''), which would take place in a room or tent that the groom had set up for her. Since the Middle Ages the two ceremonies have taken place as a combined ceremony performed in public. The ''betrothal'' is now generally part of the Jewish wedding ceremony, accomplished when the groom gives the bride the ring or another object of at least nominal value. As mentioned above, betrothal in Judaism is separate from engagement; breaking a betrothal requires a formal divorce, and violation of betrothal is considered adultery.

Typical steps of a match were the following:

Negotiation of a match, usually done by the couple's families with bride and groom having varying levels of input, from no input, to veto power, to a fuller voice in the selection of marriage partner.

* This is not as widely practiced as it was historically, although it is still common in culturally conservative communities in Israel, India, Africa, and Persian Gulf countries, although most of these have a requirement that the bride be at least allowed veto power.

Negotiation of bride price or dowry

* In most cultures evolved from Europe, the modern practice has reduced bride prices or dowries to the engagement ring accompanying the marriage contract Judaism, while in other cultures (such as those on the Arabian Peninsula), these are still part of negotiating a marriage contract.

Blessing by the parents and clergy

Exchange of Vows and Signing of Contracts

* Often one of these is omitted

Celebration

The exact duration of a betrothal varies according to culture and the participants’ needs and wishes. For adults, it may be anywhere from several hours (when the betrothal is incorporated into the wedding day itself) to a period of several years. A year and a day are common in neo-pagan groups today. In the case of child marriage, betrothal might last from infancy until the age of marriage.

The responsibilities and privileges of betrothal vary. In most cultures, the betrothed couple is expected to spend much time together, learning about each other. In some historical cultures (including colonial North America), the betrothal was essentially a trial marriage, with marriage only being required in cases of conception of a child. In almost all cultures there is a loosening of restrictions against physical contact between partners, even in cultures which would normally otherwise have strong prohibitions against it. The betrothal period was also considered to be a preparatory time, in which the groom would build a house, start a business or otherwise prove his readiness to enter adult society.

In medieval Europe, in canon law, a betrothal could be formed by the exchange of vows in the future tense ("I ''will'' take you as my wife/husband," instead of "I take you as my wife/husband"), but sexual intercourse consummated the vows, making a binding marriage rather than a betrothal. Although these betrothals could be concluded with only the vows spoken by the couple, they had legal implications: Richard III of England had his older brother's children declared illegitimate on the grounds their father had been betrothed to another woman when he married their mother.

A betrothal is considered to be a 'semi-binding' contract. Normal reasons for invalidation of a betrothal include:

Revelation of a prior commitment or marriage,

Evidence of infidelity,

Failure to conceive (in 'trial marriage' cultures),

Failure of either party to meet the financial and property stipulations of the betrothal contract.

Normally a betrothal can also be broken at the behest of either party, though some financial penalty (such as forfeit of the bride price) usually will apply.

Orthodox Church

In the Eastern Orthodox and Greek-Catholic Churches, the Rite of Betrothal will traditionally be performed in the narthex (entranceway) of the church, to indicate the couple's first entrance into the married estate. The priest will bless the couple and give them lit candles to hold. Then, after a litany, and a prayer at which everyone bows, he places the bride's ring on the ring finger of the groom's right hand, and the groom's ring on the bride's finger. The rings are then exchanged three times, either by the priest or by the best man, after which the priest says a final prayer. Originally, the betrothal service would take place at the time the engagement was announced. In recent times, however, it tends to be performed immediately before the wedding ceremony itself. The exchange of rings is not a part of the wedding service in the Eastern Churches, but only occurs at the betrothal. Traditionally, the groom's ring is gold and the bride's ring is silver.

Catholic Church

Historically betrothal in Catholicism was a formal contract considered as binding as marriage, and a divorce was necessary to terminate a betrothal. Betrothed couples were regarded legally as husband and wife - even before their wedding and physical union. The concept of an official engagement period in Western European culture may have begun in 1215 at the Fourth Lateran Council, headed by Pope Innocent III, which decreed that "marriages are to be ... announced publicly in the churches by the priests during a suitable and fixed time, so that if legitimate impediments exist, they may be made known." Such a formal church announcement of the intent to marry is known as banns. In some jurisdictions, reading the banns may be part of one type of legal marriage.

Exceptions

Some couples choose not to label their agreement to marry as "engagement". This may be the case where one or both partners is marrying for the second time. In these cases, the groom may not propose in a formal manner; and an engagement ring might not be given or worn.

Engagement rings

Customs for engagement rings vary according to time, place, and culture. An engagement ring has historically been uncommon, and when such a gift was given, it was separate from the wedding ring.

The tradition of giving a ring for marriage engagement originated from Judaism that was originally a golden nose ring (Chayei Sarah 24:22) given by Eliezer of Damascus to Rebecca, with Saadiah Gaon also citing as a possible source of the practice in the phrase in Nehemiah 7:46 ''be’nei tabbaot'' (children of the rings). The latter case refers to betrothal (see above) rather than engagement; one of the three ways in which betrothal may be accomplished in Judaism is by the husband giving the bride money or an object of at least nominal value. In fact, it is a long-standing practice within Judaism to contract the betrothal with a ring.

Romantic rings from the time of the Roman Empire sometimes bore clasped hands symbolizing contract, from which the later Celtic Claddagh symbol (two hands clasping a heart) may have evolved as a symbol of love and commitment between two people. Romans believed the circle was a bond between the two people who were to be married and signified eternity, but was first practiced on the fourth finger/ring finger by the Romans, who believed this finger to be the beginning of the ''vena amoris'' ("vein of love"), the vein that leads to the heart. In cultures with European origin, and many other countries, an engagement ring is worn following the practice of the Romans who "...wore the ring either on the right middle finger or the left ring [4th] finger, from which, according to ancient Egyptian physicians, a nerve led directly to the heart." The custom in Continental Europe and other countries is to wear it on the right hand. One historical exception arose in monarchical regimes, in which a nobleman entering into morganatic marriage, a marriage in which the person, usually the woman, of lower rank stayed at the same rank instead of rising ranks, would present his left hand to receive the ring, hence the alternative term 'marriage with the left hand' (Ger. ''Ehe zur linken Hand''), the offspring of such marriages considered to be disinherited from birth.

The modern Western form of the practice of giving or exchanging engagement rings is traditionally thought to have begun in 1477 when Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, gave Mary of Burgundy a diamond ring as an engagement present.

In other countries like Argentina, men and women each wear a ring similar to wedding bands. They are made of silver ("alianza de plata") when manifesting an informal "boyfriend-girlfriend" relationship, though this first step might not always happen; howbeit depending on finances, this may be the only ring given at all. The gold band ("anillo de compromiso" or "alianza de oro") is given to the bride when the commitment is formal and the [optional] diamond ring ("cintillo") is reserved for the wedding ceremony when the groom gives it to the bride. The gold band that the groom wore during the engagement - or a new one, as some men choose not to wear them during engagement - is then given to the groom by the bride; and the bride receives both the original gold band and the new diamond at the ceremony. The bride's diamond ring is worn on top of the engagement band at the wedding and thereafter, especially at formal occasions or parties; otherwise the engagement band suffices for daily wear for both parties. At the wedding, the rings are swapped from the right to the left hand. In Brazil, they are always made of gold, and there is no tradition for the engagement ring. Both men and women wear the wedding band on their right hand while engaged, and, after they marry, they shift the rings to their left hands. In Nordic countries such as Finland and Norway, both men and women wear an engagement ring.

In the modern era, some women's wedding rings are made into two separate pieces. One part is given to her to wear as an engagement ring when she accepts the marriage proposal and the other during the wedding ceremony. When worn together, the two rings look like one piece of jewelry.

Engagement parties

Some engagements are announced at an engagement party, traditionally hosted by the bride's parents. These parties are given in the family's usual style of entertainment. Traditionally, engagement parties were normal parties at which a surprise announcement of the engagement was made by the father of the bride to his guests. Therefore, it is not a traditional gift-giving occasion since no guests were supposed to be aware of the engagement until after their arrival.

In modern times, engagement parties often celebrate a previously publicized engagement. Whether presents are given at these engagement parties varies from culture to culture.

Jason Jordan Segel (born January 18, 1980) is an American television and film actor, screenwriter, composer, puppeteer, musician, and singer, known for his work with producer Judd Apatow on the cult classic, short-lived television series ''Freaks and Geeks'' and ''Undeclared'', the films ''Forgetting Sarah Marshall'', ''Knocked Up'', ''I Love You, Man'', ''Gulliver's Travels'', ''Bad Teacher'', ''Despicable Me'', and ''The Muppets'', and also for his role as Marshall Eriksen in the CBS hit sitcom ''How I Met Your Mother.

Early life

Segel was born in Los Angeles, the son of Jillian (née Jordan), a homemaker, and Alvin G. Segel, a lawyer, and grew up in Pacific Palisades, California. His father is Jewish and his mother is Christian. He has stated that he was raised Jewish, as well as "a little bit of everything": he went to Hebrew school and had a Bar Mitzvah, and also attended St. Matthew's Parish School, a private Episcopal school. He has an older half-brother, Adam, and a younger sister, Alison. He has stated that he and Adam were not close while growing up.

Following elementary school and middle school, Segel completed his high school studies at Harvard-Westlake School, where his frame helped him as an active member of the 1996 state champion boys' basketball team. He was the team's backup center behind Jason Collins. Segel had hopes of becoming a professional actor while in college, although he ultimately chose not to go to college. Rather, he acted in local theater productions at Palisades Playhouse.

Career

He is known for his role "Freak" Nick Andopolis on the short-lived NBC comedy-drama series ''Freaks and Geeks'', about a group of suburban Detroit high school students circa 1980. He also personally wrote a song for his character, Nick, to sing to the lead female character, Lindsay (Linda Cardellini), in an episode of ''Freaks and Geeks.'' She and Segel dated for a few years following the show's cancellation. It was rumored that she broke up with him for gaining twenty pounds, but it has since emerged that the statement was in fact a joke taken out of context.

Segel had recurring roles on ''CSI: Crime Scene Investigation'' as Neil Jansen and on ''Undeclared'' as Eric. He currently plays Marshall Eriksen on the CBS sitcom ''How I Met Your Mother''. Feature film appearances include ''Slackers'', ''SLC Punk!'', ''The Good Humor Man'', and ''Dead Man on Campus''. In 2007, he appeared in ''Knocked Up'', directed by ''Freaks and Geeks'' creator Judd Apatow. Segel starred in the lead role of 2008's ''Forgetting Sarah Marshall'', a film he wrote and Apatow produced with Shauna Robertson for Universal Pictures. In it, he appeared fully nude on camera. He also starred in ''I Love You, Man'', which was released on March 20, 2009 by Dreamworks.

In ''Forgetting Sarah Marshall'', Segel's character writes a "Dracula" musical performed by puppets. In an interview, he stated that the Dracula musical with puppets, as well as being broken up with while naked, were real experiences he wrote into the movie. Those cloth creatures were custom-made by the Jim Henson Company, and the experience emboldened Segel to pitch his concept for a Muppets movie. Segel performed his Dracula's Lament on the 1000th episode of Craig Ferguson's show, ''The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson''.

For the 2010 comedy ''Get Him to the Greek'', Segel co-wrote most of the soundtrack's music which was performed by the fictional band Infant Sorrow. He also appeared on ''The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson'' and sang an original song entitled "Wonky Eyed Girl".

In 2010, he voiced main character Gru's arch-rival Vector in the Universal hit CGI movie ''Despicable Me''. Later in the same year, Segel appeared as "Horatio" in a fantasy comedy film ''Gulliver's Travels'' directed by Rob Letterman and very loosely based on Part One of the 18th-century novel of the same name by Jonathan Swift. Segel appeared in ''Bad Teacher'', starring Cameron Diaz, which opened in June 2011. He played gym teacher and thwarted suitor Russell Gettis. Along with Nicholas Stoller, Segel approached Disney in 2007 to write the latest ''Muppets'' film. Disney was unsure on how to take the request, as Segel had just done frontal nudity in ''Forgetting Sarah Marshall'', but after realizing that he was an avid fan, the project was approved. Segel stated that he wanted to do the film because the last film in the series to be released in theaters was ''Muppets from Space'' in 1999, and he felt that the younger generation was missing out on enjoying one of his childhood favorites. He has stated that he will not star in the sequel to ''The Muppets''.

He filmed ''The Five-Year Engagement'' with Emily Blunt in spring 2011, in Michigan. The film is scheduled for release on April 27, 2012.

Personal life

Segel is currently dating actress Michelle Williams.

Emily Olivia Leah Blunt (born 23 February 1983) is an English actress best known for her roles in ''The Devil Wears Prada'' (2006), ''The Young Victoria'' (2009), and ''The Adjustment Bureau'' (2011). She has been nominated for three Golden Globe Awards, two London Film Critics' Circle Awards, and one BAFTA Award. She won a Golden Globe Award for her work in the BBC television drama ''Gideon's Daughter'' (2007).

Early life

Emily Blunt was born 23 February 1983 in Roehampton, London, England. She is the second of four children born to Joanna, an English teacher and former actress, and barrister Oliver Simon Peter Blunt, QC, one of the highest-profile barristers in the United Kingdom. He defended mass murderer Peter Tobin. Her siblings are Felicity, Sebastian and Suzanna. Her grandfather was Major-General Peter Blunt and one of her paternal uncles is Crispin Blunt, Conservative Member of Parliament for Reigate.

Blunt attended Ibstock Place School and, at the age of 16, went to Hurtwood House, a private sixth-form college known for its performing arts programme. There, she was discovered by an agent. Blunt made her professional debut in ''Bliss'', a musical written by Paul Sellar, at the 2000 Edinburgh Fringe while she was still an A-level student. She went on to perform at the National Theatre and at Chichester Festival Theatre.

Film career

In 2003, Blunt made her screen debut in the British television drama ''Boudica'', about the life of the ancient Celtic warrior-queen who fought the Romans. That same year, she was praised for her performance as the 16th century queen Catherine Howard in the two-part British television drama ''Henry VIII''.

In 2004, Blunt delivered her breakout performance as Tamsin in the dark British film, ''My Summer of Love'', a story of deception and lesbian love in the English countryside. She shared an Evening Standard British Film Award for Most Promising Newcomer with co-star Natalie Press.

In 2005, Blunt co-starred with Bill Nighy and Miranda Richardson in the British television drama ''Gideon's Daughter'', an original screenplay written and directed by Stephen Poliakoff, in which she played the troubled only child of New Labour spin doctor Gideon Warner, played by Nighy. Blunt won a Golden Globe for her performance.

In 2006, Blunt appeared opposite Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway in the box-office success ''The Devil Wears Prada''. Streep and Hathaway received most of the critical attention initially, but Blunt proved to be equally memorable, with ''Entertainment Weekly'' naming her the Best Female Scene-Stealer in their end-of-summer special issue. She appeared at the 79th Academy Awards where she co-presented the award for best costume design with her ''Prada'' co-star Hathaway. Blunt spoke about the weight loss, claiming she had to go "painfully thin". That same year, Blunt co-starred with Susan Sarandon in the independent drama ''Irresistible''. Following production, Sarandon strongly suggested to director David Auburn that he cast Blunt in his next film, ''The Girl in the Park''— a role she did not accept.

In 2007, Blunt appeared in four films: ''Wind Chill'', ''The Jane Austen Book Club'', ''Dan in Real Life'', and ''Charlie Wilson's War''. In 2008, Blunt appeared in two films, ''Sunshine Cleaning'' in the role of Norah Lorkowski, and ''The Great Buck Howard'' as Valerie Brennan.

In 2009, Blunt played Queen Victoria in ''The Young Victoria'', directed by Jean-Marc Vallée and written by Julian Fellowes. She also starred in the Toby Spanton-directed short film ''Curiosity''. She was director Jon Favreau's first choice to play the Black Widow in ''Iron Man 2'' but scheduling conflicts with ''Gulliver's Travels'' forced her to cede the role to Scarlett Johansson. She voiced Angelina's mother, Matilda Mouseling, in the television series, ''Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps''.

In 2010, Blunt co-starred with Benicio del Toro and Anthony Hopkins in the big-budget movie ''The Wolfman'', which was released on 12 February. She also starred in ''Gulliver's Travels'' and in ''The Adjustment Bureau'', alongside Matt Damon, as a ballet dancer "being mysteriously kept apart" from Damon's character. Blunt was offered the female lead in the ''Captain America: The First Avenger'' film but turned it down.

In January 2011, Blunt began filming an American science-fiction film ''Looper'', directed by Rian Johnson and co-starring Bruce Willis. She appeared in the British comedy film ''Salmon Fishing in the Yemen'', directed by Lasse Hallström and co-starring Ewan McGregor and Kristin Scott Thomas.. She briefly appeared in The Muppets as Miss Piggy's receptionist. She also completed work on the 2012 film ''The Five-Year Engagement'', directed by Nicholas Stoller and co-starring Jason Segel. She is scheduled to star in ''Arthur Newman, Golf Pro'' with Colin Firth in 2012.

Personal life

Blunt had a three-year relationship with Canadian singer Michael Bublé. They met in Melbourne backstage at the Australian television Logie Awards in 2005 and later shared a home in Vancouver, Canada. They broke up in 2008.

In November 2008, Blunt began dating American actor John Krasinski. On 10 July 2010, they married in Como, Italy.

Her sister Felicity, who works as a literary agent, became engaged to Stanley Tucci in 2011 after the pair were introduced by Emily. Her brother Sebastian is an actor.

Drew Blyth Barrymore (born February 22, 1975) is an American actress, film director, screenwriter, producer and model. She is a member of the Barrymore family of American actors and granddaughter of John Barrymore. She first appeared in an advertisement when she was 11 months old. Barrymore made her film debut in ''Altered States'' in 1980. Afterwards, she starred in her breakout role in ''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial''. She quickly became one of Hollywood's most recognized child actresses, going on to establish herself in mainly comic roles.

Following a turbulent childhood which was marked by drug and alcohol abuse and two stints in rehab, Barrymore wrote the 1990 autobiography, ''Little Girl Lost''. She successfully made the transition from child star to adult actress with a number of films including ''Poison Ivy'', ''Bad Girls'', ''Boys on the Side'', and ''Everyone Says I Love You''. Subsequently, she established herself in romantic comedies such as ''The Wedding Singer'' and ''50 First Dates''.

In 1995, she and business partner Nancy Juvonen formed the production company Flower Films, with its first production the 1999 Barrymore film ''Never Been Kissed''. Flower Films has gone on to produce the Barrymore vehicle films ''Charlie's Angels'', ''50 First Dates'', and ''Music and Lyrics'', as well as the cult film ''Donnie Darko''. Barrymore's more recent projects include ''He's Just Not That into You'', ''Beverly Hills Chihuahua'', ''Everybody's Fine'' and ''Going the Distance''. A recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Barrymore appeared on the cover of the 2007 ''People'' magazine's 100 Most Beautiful issue.

Barrymore was named Ambassador Against Hunger for the UN World Food Programme (WFP). Since then, she has donated over US$1 million to the program. In 2007, she became both CoverGirl's newest model and spokeswoman for the cosmetic and the face for Gucci's newest jewelry line. In 2010, she was awarded the Screen Actors Guild Award and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Miniseries or Television Film for her portrayal of Little Edie in ''Grey Gardens''.

Early life

Barrymore was born in Culver City, California, the daughter of American actor John Drew Barrymore and Jaid Barrymore ( Makó), an aspiring actress. Barrymore's mother was born in a Displaced Persons camp in Brannenburg, West Germany, to Hungarian World War II refugees. Barrymore's father was of mainly English, and Irish, ancestry. Her parents divorced after she was born. She has one half-brother, John Blyth Barrymore, also an actor, and two half-sisters, Blyth Dolores Barrymore and (Brahma) Jessica Blyth Barrymore.

Barrymore was born into acting: her great-grandparents Maurice Barrymore and Georgie Drew Barrymore, Maurice Costello and Mae Costello ( Altschuk) and her grandparents John Barrymore and Dolores Costello, were all actors; John Barrymore was arguably the most acclaimed actor of his generation. She is the niece of Diana Barrymore and the grandniece of Lionel Barrymore, Ethel Barrymore and Helene Costello, the great-great-granddaughter of John Drew and actress Louisa Lane Drew, and the great grandniece of Broadway idol John Drew, Jr. and silent film actor/writer/director Sidney Drew. She is also the god-daughter of director Steven Spielberg, and Sophia Loren.

Her first name, Drew, was the maiden name of her paternal great-grandmother, Georgie Drew Barrymore; her middle name, Blyth, was the original surname of the dynasty founded by her great-grandfather, Maurice Barrymore.

Career

Early career

Barrymore's career began when she was auditioned for a dog food commercial at 11 months old. When she was bitten by her canine co-star, the producers were afraid she would cry, but she merely laughed, and was hired for the job. She made her film debut in ''Altered States'' (1980), in which she had a small part. A year later, she landed the role of Gertie, the younger sister of Elliott, in ''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'', which made her one of the most famous child stars of the time and earned her the Young Artist Award as Best Young Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture in 1982. She received a Golden Globe nomination as Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture in 1984 for her role in ''Irreconcilable Differences'', in which she starred as a young girl divorcing her parents. In a review in the ''Chicago Sun-Times'', Roger Ebert states: "Barrymore is the right actress for this role precisely because she approaches it with such grave calm."

Rebellious era

In the wake of this sudden stardom, Barrymore endured a notoriously troubled childhood. She was already a regular at the famed Studio 54 when she was a little girl, smoking cigarettes at age nine, drinking alcohol by the time she was 11, smoking marijuana at 12, and snorting cocaine at 13. Her nightlife and constant partying became a popular subject with the media. She was in rehab at age 13. A suicide attempt at age 14 put her back in rehab, followed by a three-month stay with singer David Crosby and his wife. The stay was precipitated, Crosby said, because she "needed to be around some people that were committed to sobriety." Barrymore later described this period of her life in her autobiography, ''Little Girl Lost.'' The next year, following a successful juvenile court petition for emancipation, she moved into her own apartment.

In her late teens, her rebelliousness played itself out on screen and in print. Barrymore forged an image as a manipulative teenage seductress, beginning with the film ''Poison Ivy'' (1992), which was a box office failure, but was popular on video and cable. That same year, at the age of 17, she posed nude for the cover of the July issue of ''Interview'' magazine with her then-fiancé, actor Jamie Walters, as well as appearing nude in pictures inside the issue. She also underwent breast reduction surgery in 1992, and has said on the subject:

}}

In 1993, Barrymore earned a second Golden Globe nomination, this time for the film ''Guncrazy''. Barrymore would go on to pose nude at age 19 for the January 1995 issue of ''Playboy''. Steven Spielberg, who directed her in ''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'' when she was a child and was her godfather, gave her a quilt for her 20th birthday with a note that read, "Cover yourself up". Enclosed were copies of her ''Playboy'' pictures, with the pictures altered by his art department so that she appeared fully clothed. During a 1995 appearance on ''Late Show with David Letterman'', Barrymore climbed onto David Letterman's desk and bared her breasts to him, her back to the camera, in celebration of his birthday. She modeled in a series of ''Guess?'' jeans ads during this time.

Return to prominence

In 1995, Barrymore starred in ''Boys on the Side'' opposite Whoopi Goldberg and Mary-Louise Parker, and had a cameo role in Joel Schumacher's film ''Batman Forever'', in which she portrayed a moll to Tommy Lee Jones' character, Two-Face. The following year, she made a cameo in the successful horror film ''Scream''. Barrymore has continued to be highly bankable, and a top box office draw. She was frequently cast in romantic comedies such as ''Wishful Thinking'' (1997), ''The Wedding Singer'' (1998), and ''Home Fries'' (1998). Barrymore's role in the costume drama ''Ever After'' (1998) offered a modern take on the classic fairy tale of Cinderella and served as a reminder, according to Roger Ebert, of how well Drew Barrymore "can hold the screen and involve us in her characters".

Besides a number of appearances in films produced by her company, Flower Films, including ''Charlie's Angels'', Barrymore had a dramatic role in the comedy/drama ''Riding in Cars with Boys'' (2001), playing a teenage mother in a failed marriage with the drug-addicted father (based on the real-life story of Beverly D'Onofrio). In 2002, Barrymore appeared in ''Confessions of a Dangerous Mind'', alongside Sam Rockwell and Julia Roberts.

Flower Films and later work

In 1995, Barrymore formed Flower Films, a production company, with business partner Nancy Juvonen. The first film produced by the company was 1999's ''Never Been Kissed''. The second offering from the company was ''Charlie's Angels'' (2000), a major box office success in 2000 that helped solidify the standing of both Barrymore and the company. When the production of Richard Kelly's debut film, ''Donnie Darko'', was threatened, Barrymore stepped forward with financing from Flower Films and took the small role of Karen Pomeroy, the title character's English teacher. Although the film was less than successful at the box office in the wake of 9/11, it reached cult film status after the DVD release, inspiring numerous websites devoted to unraveling the plot twists and meanings.

In 2003, she reprised her role as Dylan Sanders in ''Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle'', was nominated for an Emmy Award for her performance in ''Olive, the Other Reindeer'' and appeared with Ben Stiller in ''Duplex'' in 2003. Flower Films produced ''50 First Dates'' with co-star Adam Sandler's Happy Madison company in 2004. Summing up Barrymore's appeal, Roger Ebert, in his review of ''50 First Dates'', described Barrymore as having a "smiling, coy sincerity," describing the film as "ingratiating and lovable." ''50 First Dates'' was followed by ''Fever Pitch'' (2005), and in 2007, ''Music and Lyrics'' and ''Lucky You''. Barrymore's more recent projects include ''Beverly Hills Chihuahua'' in 2008, and 2009's ''He's Just Not That into You'', ''Grey Gardens'' and ''Everybody's Fine''. Barrymore's directorial debut film ''Whip It'', was released in October 2009. ''Whip It'' starred Ellen Page and Marcia Gay Harden and centered on an obsession with beauty pageants and the Austin, Texas, Hurl Scouts roller derby team. Barrymore also co-starred in the film.

In 2010, Barrymore reunited with former partner Justin Long on the set of ''Going the Distance'', directed by Nanette Burstein. A R-rated romantic comedy about a couple dealing the ups and downs of a long distance relationship while commuting between New York City and San Francisco, the largely improvised film garnered generally mixed reviews by critics, who summed it as "timelier and a little more honest than most romantic comedies." Budgeted at US$32 million, the film became a moderate financial success at a worldwide box office total of US$40 million.

In 2011, it was announced that Barrymore had been cast alongside John Krasinski in Ken Kwapis's ''Big Miracle'' (2012), a romantic drama based on the 1989 book ''Freeing the Whales'', which covers Operation Breakthrough, the 1988 international effort to rescue gray whales from being trapped in ice near Point Barrow, Alaska.

On August 2, 2011, Drew directed the music video for a song "Our Deal", for band Best Coast, with features Chloë Moretz, Miranda Cosgrove, Tyler Posey, Donald Glover, Shailene Woodley and Alia Shawkat.

Other career highlights

In 1999, Barrymore was honored by the Young Artist Foundation with its Former Child Star "Lifetime Achievement" Award commemorating her outstanding achievements within the film industry as a child actress. In 2005, she began a recurring role in the animated comedy ''Family Guy'' as Brian Griffin's simple-minded girlfriend, Jillian. She has since appeared in a total of eleven episodes. She was the subject of the 2005 documentary ''My Date with Drew''. In it, an aspiring filmmaker and a fan of Barrymore's, uses his limited resources in an attempt to gain a date with her. On February 3, 2004, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Barrymore's films have a worldwide box office gross that stands at over US$2.3 billion. According to ''The Hollywood Reporter'''s annual Star Salary Top 10, she was tied for eighth place on the top ten list of actresses' salaries, commanding 10 to 12 million dollars per movie for 2006. On February 3, 2007, Barrymore hosted ''Saturday Night Live'' (SNL) for the fifth time, making her the second female host (after Candice Bergen) in the show's history to do so. She hosted again on October 10, 2009, becoming the first female to host six times. Barrymore still holds the record as the youngest celebrity ever to host the show (1982, at age seven). In March 2012, Barrymore is set to co-host the twelfth season of The Essentials, a film showcase on Turner Classic Movies which spotlights significant classic films. She will be hosting alongside TCM regular, Robert Osborne. Barrymore became a CoverGirl Cosmetics' model and spokeswoman in 2007. Today, Drew Barrymore is still one of the faces for CoverGirl, alongside Queen Latifah and Taylor Swift. The company partnered up with Drew because "she emulates the iconic image of CoverGirl with her fresh, natural beauty and energetic yet authentic spirit" said Esi Eggleston Bracey, Vice President and General Manager of CoverGirl Cosmetics North America. She has brought not only her personality into this endorsement but also her creative side, as she is also a co-creator of the ads. She was No. 1 in ''People'''s annual 100 Most Beautiful People list in 2007. Also in 2007, she was named the new face for the Gucci jewelry line. Barrymore is signed to IMG Models New York City.

In May 2007, Barrymore was named Ambassador Against Hunger for the United Nations World Food Programme and later donated $1 million to the cause. In September 2010, Barrymore was confirmed to play the role of Ganga in the Indian Bollywood film ''The Lifestyle – In Generation Next'' to be directed by Santosh Kumar Jain, to be released in 2012. Several articles and interviews reported Barrymore's taste for photography. As a guest photographer for a magazine series called "They Shoot New York," she appeared on the cover holding a Pentax K1000 film camera. She hopes to expose her work in a gallery one day, as she documented the last decade of her life with a Pentax camera.

Personal life

In 1991, at the age of 16, Barrymore became engaged to Leland Hayward, grandson of Hollywood producer Leland Hayward. After a few months, this engagement was called off. Barrymore was engaged to and lived with musician/actor Jamie Walters in 1992–93.

Barrymore is the godmother of Kurt Cobain's daughter, Frances Bean Cobain.

She was married to British bartender turned Los Angeles bar owner Jeremy Thomas on March 20, 1994, and filed for divorce less than two months later. Barrymore married Canadian comedian Tom Green in July 2001. Green filed for divorce in December 2001. The divorce was finalized on October 15, 2002.

In 2002, Barrymore began dating The Strokes' drummer Fabrizio Moretti, soon after they met at a concert. Their five year relationship ended on January 10, 2007. She dated actor Justin Long, but they confirmed their split in July 2008. The couple reunited in 2009 and co-starred in the 2010 film ''Going the Distance''. The two then reportedly split again in 2010. In early 2011, Barrymore began dating art consultant Will Kopelman, the son of former Chanel CEO Arie Kopelman. The couple announced their engagement in January 2012 and are currently expecting their first child.

In 2004, she was quoted as saying, "A woman and a woman together are beautiful, just as a man and a woman together are beautiful. Being with a woman is like exploring your own body, but through someone else. When I was younger I used to go with lots of women. Totally. I love it". In March 2007, former magazine editor Jane Pratt claimed on her Sirius Satellite Radio show that she had a romance with Barrymore in the mid-1990s.
