She was eight when she had her first drink.
At 13, she was placed in rehab.
But somehow, this star overcame her demons, and today she is one of the most renowned and celebrated actresses in the world.
A troubled childhood
This legendary actress, who shot to fame in Hollywood at a young age, has a story defined by struggle, growth, and ultimate success.
Her journey began at just 11 months old, when she appeared in a dog food commercial that hinted at the stardom awaiting her.
At just seven years old, she was already a film sensation, famously pouring Baileys over her ice cream in a way that captivated hearts all over the world. A notable interview with Johnny Carson showcased her precociousness, humor, and flirtatious charm.
She was irresistibly cute, and while other kids didn’t always understand her — she admits she rarely related to her peers — audiences of all ages fell in love with her.
