          Noong 1995 lumabas sa tatlong pelikula si Drew Barrymore – Boys on the Side, Mad Love at Batman Forever – at nagkaroon ng guest appearance sa Late Show with David Letterman, kung saan sumampa si Barrymore sa lamesa ni Letterman at iniladlad ang kaniyang dibdib (nakatalikod sa camera at paharap kay Letterman) bilang pagbati sa kaarawan ng host. Nang taon ding yaon binuo ni Barrymore at ng kaniyang business partner na si Nancy Juvonen ang Flower Film, isang film production company. Ang unang pelikulang ginawa nila ay ang Never Been Kissed (1999) na sinundan ng Charlie’s Angel (2000), na naging isang major blockbuster.
