Her career began at the age 11 months when she auditioned for a dog food commercial. She shot to fame when she co-starred in the 1982 Steven Spielberg film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. At the age of 7 Barrymore became the youngest-ever guest host of Saturday Night Live. She also received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 1984 for her role in Irreconcilable Differences.

Steven Spielberg gave her a quilt for her 20th birthday with a note that read "Cover yourself up." Enclosed was a copy of her Playboy appearance, with the pictures altered by his art department so that she appeared fully clothed.

On February 3, 2004, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
