9. Drew Barrymore
Before she was the loveable actress that we know today, Drew Barrymore, whose father and grandfather were actors (and her granduncle played Mr. Potter in It’s a Wonderful Life), was a child star with a serious rebellious streak. She was smoking by the age of nine, drinking by the age of eleven, smoking marijuana by the age of twelve, and snorting cocaine by the age of thirteen, landing her in rehab before she was even able to drive. Thankfully, Barrymore was able to turn her life around and forge a successful career for herself in the film industry, starring in blockbuster hits like Charlie’s Angels and The Wedding Singer.
