It’s surprising that she was so young yet understood everything about what was going on. She understood how to be interviewed and how to have chemistry with the person interviewing her. She understood that she was being filmed and that she was being entertaining to others, all while maintaining a polite and endearing demeanor, and saying all the right things. She was a natural.

I could watch this daily and love it more every time .
What a beautiful child with a difficult child hood apparently, some where she inherited wonderful genes.
Johnny Carson carried out the interview in such a loving easy going way.

Both are legends and genuinely honest. Her movie Ever After is one of my favourites.

Charming, lovely little girl and whom I admire her gift of talking to anyone comes to her show as free as she was then with gentle character and intelligence. I love you my dear Drewmore. Honest,beautiful, smart and friendly. God bless you and your surroundings ❤❤❤

I saw Drew in ET when it first came out. I was totally charmed when she first flashed one of her knowing smiles that gave you an impression that she was much more mature for her age than she really was.
