Overview
- On the November 18 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, Barrymore spoke with Famous Last Words host Brad Falchuk about mortality and the series’ posthumous interview format.
- She described imagining death as an “infinite black void” yet said she began reframing that image two years ago toward light and beauty, citing Jane Goodall’s recently released episode as a reminder of that shift.
- Barrymore said she wants to meet death with peace and gratitude rather than fear, pain, or regret.
- She noted that her daughters, Olive, 13, and Frankie, 11, have raised the stakes because she does not want to leave them.
- Falchuk urged her to “make friends with death” and not personalize it, saying the moment of death is something we all do, and Barrymore replied that his guidance could change her life; she added she invited him as part of a push for tougher conversations on her show.
