Drew Barrymore reunites with Dee Wallace, her mother on ‘ET’, 40 years later

Get ready for the attack of nostalgia that is going to enter you.

        Cinema often serves as a measure of time. And if a mythical film turns 40, nostalgia overwhelms us. This year celebrates four decades of one of the films of steven spielberg, one of the most loved by several generations: ‘ET the extraterrestrial’. And if there is someone from the cast of the film that has continued to be remembered, that is drew Barrymore.

        Now it has been her, once that endearing girl with pigtails friend of the alien, has been the last to lead fans to nostalgia. The 47-year-old actress met with Dee Wallace, the one in charge of playing her mother in ‘ET’, while they remembered the film doing a preview of the 40th anniversary this past Monday on The Drew Barrymore Show. The two were moved to embrace and spread the emotion to the public.

        This was the first day on set and I’m sitting in this director’s chair that’s really high,” recalled Wallace, now 73, as a photo of the two flashed on screen. “And Drew comes up to me and says: ‘Hey, I’m going to sit on your lap now.'” And I said, ‘Well, Drew come on up.’ What I mean is that I knew you were going to be a director/producer back thenhe told Barrymore.

        The actress praised how “sexy” Wallace looked in the cheetah costume his character wore for the Halloween scene. “It still fits,” Wallace replied. “I bet it does,” the ‘Charlie’s Angels’ actress replied.

        Although Barrymore claimed that he “saw the wires” and knew the handling of the ET doll, Wallace refuted: “Oh don’t believe that for a moment“The actress recounted that one day she found a young Barrymore on the corner and struck up a conversation with the idle puppet.”From that point on, (Steven Spielberg) had two guys on ET at all times, so every time you went to talk to him, his eyes could work and his head could go up and down and he could talk back to you.” said.

        We have followed Barrymore’s trail after the great success of 1982. After her years with drug problems, the actress recovered and resumed her career as an actress, in which roles such as ‘Everyone says I love you’, ‘Mad love (crazy love)’, ‘I have never been kissed’, ‘The ideal boy’, or ‘You the lyrics and I the music’.

        the same as to Henry Thomasthe one in charge of being Elliot, the protagonist of ‘ET’. Afterwards we have been seeing him sporadically in titles such as ‘Legends of the Fall’ or the series ‘The Haunting of Hill House’. Instead of Robert MacNaughton, the older brother of the family, has had a less popular career and has hardly had many more jobs. Dee Wallace, on the other hand, has not stopped working and on her IMDb you can see the extensive list of projects in which she has been immersed.
