Tara Reid was inspired to become an actress by Drew Barrymore in 'E.T'. The 'American Pie' star instantly knew she wanted to be a Hollywood star as a little girl when she watched child star Drew🐻 play Gertie in Steven Spielberg's 1982 sci-fi classic about a lost alien who secretly lives with an American family after getting separated from his spaceship, reports 'Female First UK🌟'.
Tara can recall turning to her mother and telling her that she was going to become an actress. She told Mr. Warbuton maga🤡zine: "I fell in love with the world I am in and the art I do. I remember when I watched 'E.T' and saw Drew Barrymore, I'm like, 'Mommy, I want to do that."
The actress admitted that her career in the film industry came true after a "series of miracles". As per 'Female First UK', the 'Josie and the Pussyc♐ats' star feels as though she has been unfairly treated by Holly🍸wood because of her party girl image from her 20s.
Tara, 47, said: "I was the first one✃ that started this image. The difference is I never did sex tapes. I never did anything wrong. I've never even gotten a speeding ticket. But what I did get punished for is if I wasn't shooting, I went to Europe right away. I'd be popping bottles, and I had a great time.
"I was just on an 🧸attack. Anything I did was on tape, it was pretty awful. And that's why I left. It wasn't because I was just a girl. It was because I 𓄧was an easy target," she added.
