In fact, in Barrymore’s memoir, Wildflower, she dedicates an entire chapter to Sandler and the impact he’s had on her life both personally and professionally. She has described him as having “a goodness that was so unique” and being so drawn to him. Meanwhile, Sandler has spoken about his admiration for Barrymore’s acting skills, noting her ability to take on both comedic and dramatic roles.
