As it turns out, actress Drew Barrymore might have her legendary godfather, Steven Spielberg, to thank for reeling her back. The story goes that, after posing nude for Playboy, the famous director sent her a large blanket with a note that simply read, "Cover up," as reported by The Guardian. YIKES.
And while some might have considered it an innocent joke on Spielberg's part, it appears that Barrymore took his advice to heart. Barrymore also admitted that even during her most rebellious moments she still never wanted to disappoint him. "I didn't want to show him certain things. He has always inspired me to be my best, so I didn't want him to see me at my worst. I could have easily gone to him, he was never closed doors or unwelcoming. But I was like, I'll figure this out over here, I will be back, excuse me for a minute!"
But it wouldn't be fair to give Mr. Spielberg all of the credit. In her second book, Wildflower (via Marie Claire), Barrymore wrote about the epiphany she had after watching her appearance on Late Show with David Letterman. "As I watched myself and my friends laughing from an objective perspective, I realized right then and there that this was the end of an era for me," she wrote. "And so I started my journey into no sex scenes in movies, modesty clauses in my contracts, and a total lack of nudity in any public forum from there on out."
