Los Angeles, April 11, 2007 – The famous Barrymore acting dynasty is finally coming to commercials. Drew Barrymore, granddaughter of screen legend John Barrymore, announced at a press conference on Wednesday that she will be the newest face of CoverGirl cosmetics.

She’s not merely a pretty face: Drew will actually have creative input on the ads, consulting on such items as concept, graphics and lighting.

At the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, the very animated Charlie’s Angel star said that she idolized models as a young girl, and that she’s excited to try modeling, even though she see herself as kind of dorky. She said she loves playing with makeup, and her beauty secrets include washing her face and flossing her teeth.

Look for the ad campaign in January, 2008.
