Paul McCartney has written an original song, (I Want To) Come Home,” for the upcoming Miramax Films release Everybody’s Fine, starring Robert De Niro, Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale and Sam Rockwell.

After attending an early screening of the film, McCartney felt a deep connection to the material and began writing the song that very night.

Everybody’s Fine, written and directed by Kirk Jones (“Waking Ned Devine”), is the story of a widower (Robert De Niro) who embarks on an impromptu road trip to reconnect with each of his grown children only to discover that their lives are far from picture perfect.

Collaborating with composer Dario Marianelli on the orchestrations, McCartney has crafted an intimate song that compliments the themes of the film and serves as a final grace note to the moving story.

Reflecting on his reaction to the film, McCartney said, “I could definitely identify with Robert De Niro’s character because I have grown-up kids who have their own families.”

Miramax Films will release Everybody’s Fine in theaters nationwide on December 4.

A famous face is spotted in Richmond.

Movie actress Drew Barrymore was in town last week, shopping at vintage clothing stores in the Museum District and Carytown.

Those who encountered her say she was visiting with three companions and was extremely polite and friendly.

The owner of Halcyon on Robinson Street says the star of movies like “Never Been Kissed” and “Charlie’s Angels” was on a tour of vintage clothing stores from New York to Charleston, South Carolina.

Barrymore also paid a visit to Bygones in Carytown.

Drew Barrymore has revealed that she suffered a leg injury while shooting for film Whip It.

The accident took place when the Charlies Angels star was filming a wrestling scene with Juliette Lewis with skating boards on.

“In one scene I wrestle Juliette Lewis. Her skate and both our body weights were on my thigh, so I ended up with a bruise a foot long and a foot wide. There’s nothing hotter than a girl fight,” the Daily Express quoted her as telling Britain’s Empire magazine.

The story of a child star done in by fame is as old as Hollywood itself. But the story of a child star from one of America’s greatest acting families, who nearly destroys herself, then bounces back to become not just a leading lady but a major film producer – that story belongs only to Drew Barrymore.

She was famous by 7, abusing drugs by 11, and at 15 was washed up and on her own. She may have come from acting royalty, but in many ways she was an orphan, a wild child raised by crews on movie sets. She is 34 now, and though she still sometimes talks like a teenager, she has become one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood, succeeding far beyond what anyone could have predicted.

How did she do it? That’s what we wanted to find out.

60 Minutes and CNN’s Anderson Cooper met up with Barrymore on Broadway in New York. At the height of afternoon rush hour, she stopped traffic.

t has been a while, but a Barrymore on Broadway was something generations of New Yorkers were once used to.

The Ethel Barrymore Theatre on 47th Street in Manhattan is named for her great-aunt, a legendary stage actress in the early 1900s.

Standing under a photo of her great-aunt, Cooper noticed Drew Barrymore shares the same profile with her ancestor.

“I don’t wanna be too self-congratulatory about it, I just love the fact that we have this sort of family stamp,” Barrymore said.

That Barrymore stamp graced silver screens from silent movies through the 1940s. Her great-aunt Ethel and her grandfather John Barrymore were considered the greatest actors of their generation.

Barrymore’s great-uncle, Lionel, was a famous character actor, who will forever be known as the sinister banker Mr. Potter in “It’s A Wonderful Life.”

Acting has been the family business for hundreds of years.

“Going back to Georgiana Drew and John Drew, and my great-grandfather Maurice Barrymore, and it was such a sort of circus of odd, interesting people that loved acting,” Barrymore told Cooper.

“There are Barrymores that have been acting since George III was in power,” he noted.

“Like the 14th century, it dates back to the family tree and I thought, ‘Well, I’m not crazy if I feel this magnetic bloodline pull to do this thing,” Barrymore said.

She felt the pull as a child, but she’d been pushed into the business long before that: when she was just 11 months old, she starred in a commercial for dog food.

Her big break however came at the age of 6 in the blockbuster hit “E.T.”

Her scene-stealing portrayal of Gertie made her an international star; movie audiences loved the precocious little girl, and so did director Steven Spielberg, who Barrymore calls her “Godfather.”

“I’ve always said about Drew that she’s tenaciously optimistic,” Spielberg said. “And she had really the kind of imagination that not only invited E.T. into a reality within herself, but it invited all of us to believe that what Drew was seeing was true.”

On the set between takes, Barrymore used to talk with E.T. She’d tell him her secrets.

“I liked hanging out with him. And I would bring him lunch, and put a little handkerchief around his neck,” Barrymore remembered.

She knew he was a fake, but, “that red beating heart just said so much to me. And I just felt like I could talk to him.”
