Los Angeles, Feb 13 (NationPress) The renowned Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore, who will celebrate her 50th birthday on February 22, plans to honor a family tradition by hosting a series of sleepovers for this significant occasion.

Barrymore, mother to Olive and Frankie with ex-husband Will Kopelman, shared with Us Weekly, "I’ve always spent the night with them on my birthday and their birthdays."

"We have a tradition, so I’m doing a night or two of sleepovers leading up, and then I’m doing a sleepover with my daughters on my 50th. But the whole theme of the 50th birthday is sleepovers. Sleepovers should never go away."

The star of “51st Dates” expressed that she feels happier and healthier than ever as she approaches this milestone, as reported by femalefirst.co.uk.

Having gained fame as a child in the 1982 sci-fi classic 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial', she reflected, "I don’t think I’ve ever known a happiness that I feel now, and I just didn’t know I would ever get here."

Barrymore is also focused on finding the right balance in parenting her children.

She aims to give them a sense of freedom while feeling the duty to guide them towards a positive direction in life.

The 'Charlie's Angels' star, who was wed to Will from 2012 to 2016, elaborated, "They are who they are, and they’re their own people."

"I’m not desperate to impose upon them at all who they should be, but sometimes I feel it’s my responsibility to show them how to be and that there’s just no room for not being kind to people or gracious or grateful. If I had one battle to choose, it would just be that they’re kind, good, humble, grateful people and that they feel safe."

Barrymore has garnered various awards and nominations, including a Golden Globe Award, along with nominations for nine Emmy Awards and a British Academy Film Award. In 2023, she was recognized as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
