Drew Barrymore was showered with love on her 50th birthday, including by her daughters. 

In a recent episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the beloved star celebrated the milestone with heartfelt gifts from her daughters, Olive and Frankie, as well as special appearances from friends and industry icons.

One of the most emotional moments came when Amirah Kassem, founder of Flour Shop, and Barrymore’s longtime friend Valerie Bertinelli presented two stunning, custom-designed cakes—each crafted with love by Barrymore’s daughters. One featured a vibrant rainbow design, while the other showcased pink stripes with delicate floral accents.

“Usually, I go by the things you love—daisies, mac and cheese, all of that—but I was thinking about your 50th birthday and what really connects us," Kassem explained. "Apart from our love of cream cheese, it’s your girls. So I wanted to bring in two of the best cake designers ever—your daughters—who designed these themselves.”

Barrymore’s eyes welled up as Bertinelli revealed another surprise: her daughters had also written her heartfelt birthday letters.

As Barrymore read the letters aloud, the audience witnessed her raw emotion.

"Dearest Mommy, happy birthday! Can you believe it? Fifty years of being the most fabulous, kindest person on earth, and twelve years of being the most caring, loving mom," she read from Frankie’s letter. "I love you so much. Best birthday wishes, Frankie." Barrymore chuckled, adding, "So formal!"

Olive’s message was just as touching—with a touch of humor.

"Dear Mother, not in my twelve years of life have I found a mother as wonderful as you. The search goes on."

To make the moment even more special, Kassem revealed that Olive and Frankie had hidden their letters inside the cakes, creating keepsakes Barrymore could treasure forever.

The birthday festivities didn’t stop there. The Charlie’s Angels actress was showered with love from close friends and longtime collaborators. Cameron Diaz, Adam Sandler, and Steven Spielberg sent her heartfelt video messages during a special segment of Drew’s News, where she was joined by CBS Mornings’ Gayle King and CBS Sunday Morning host Jane Pauley.

King also helped reveal a unique tribute to Barrymore—her very own Pantone color: a soft, warm yellow.

"At Pantone, we've created a universal language of color that designers and brands use worldwide," said Tannese Williams, Head of Fashion & Interiors at Pantone. "And we're here today to celebrate your accomplishments by inviting you to be a part of a select few who have their very own Pantone color. We present to you... Drew Barrymore Yellow."

Williams described the shade as "a warm and soft golden yellow that creates a welcoming space, just like you do. It highlights your luminosity, effervescent style, radiant aura, and what you stand for—celebrating each other for who we are."

Barrymore, overwhelmed with gratitude, teared up as Williams added, "We appreciate you. We love you. Welcome to the Pantone family."

The celebration continued with surprise appearances from Saturday Night Live alum Rachel Dratch—who shares Barrymore’s birthday—and Never Been Kissed co-star Molly Shannon.

Shannon delivered an emotional tribute, leaving Barrymore deeply moved.

"What I want to say to you is, you are incredible," Shannon told her. "I learned how to behave on sets from you. I looked up to you so much on Never Been Kissed—how you treated everyone."

Barrymore, her eyes brimming with tears, listened as Shannon acknowledged the hardships she overcame.

"You had a tough childhood. You were alone. You had to be an adult way too soon. And yet, what you've made of your life—how you treat people and who you are—is like no one else. I've known you for so long. You are one of a kind."

The surprises didn’t end there. Barrymore's birthday episode also included receiving an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree from the California Institute of the Arts and a heartfelt surprise from the Ward family, with whom she lived during the filming of Firestarter as a child. This marked the first time she had seen the family in 40 years.
