Drew Barrymore will publish a memoir — latimes.com

Actress and filmmaker Drew Barrymore is working on a book about her life for Dutton, the publisher announced Thursday. Barrymore joins other high-profile women in entertainment -- Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Lena Dunham -- who have published successful memoirs. "I love stories that are humorous, emotional and welcoming, and that is my goal in writing this book," Barrymore said in a statement.
