Drew Barrymore Gotham Magazine May 2009

Drew Barrymore takes the cover of April 2009 issue of Gotham magazine.
The 34-year-old actress says she gave up her cell phone to prepare herself for her character "Little" Edie Bouvier Beale in HBO's upcoming "Grey Gardens," which is set in the '70s and is based on the lives of the eccentric aunt and first cousin of Jackie Onassis.
"I felt I had to isolate myself," Drew tells Gotham magazine, on stands April 1. "It was really painful for me not to have contact with the people I love. I felt like it would be fraudulent to talk on a cell phone -- 'Like, yeah, I'll call you back in a second' -- and walk back on set and pretend I'm this person who wouldn't even know what a cell phone was."
