On Tuesday, March 28th, on The Drew Barrymore Show, the 25th Anniversary of the re-imagined fairytale, “Ever After: A Cinderella Story”, was celebrated on air.
Barrymore welcomed the actresses who played her stepsisters in the movie, Megan Dodds and Melanie Lynskey, to “The Drew Barrymore Show” set for the episode, during which they appeared in their “Ever After” costumes and reminisced about the making of the 1998 Andy Tennant film.
This isn’t the first time Lynskey and Barrymore shared memories about “Ever After” together. On a January 2022 episode of the “Drew Barrymore Show,” “Yellowjackets” star Lynskey called the experience of making the movie a “benchmark for joy” in her creative career.
“You are such a joyful person,” Lynskey told her former co star at the time, later adding, “I was so excited to go to work every day, and it really does remain one of my happiest experiences.”
Barrymore said how honored she feels to have acted in “Ever After” along with the Lynskey and Dodds, noting that the movie was significant in flipping the script for young girls. In reference to her character being the one who rescues the prince, played by Dougray Scott.
