Premiere Week will feature a week-long celebration of the Daisy Chain Fields Festival, where THE DREW BARRYMORE SHOW was the only media outlet to bring its own set to the festival, transporting Drew's iconic white couch to the grounds for intimate one-of-a-kind conversations with performers including Olivia Rodrigo, Sarah McLachlan, Shirley Manson, Mitski and Bikini Kill. The interviews will roll out as a special "Daisy Chain" of segments throughout Premiere Week.

The conversations will also launch "Personal Space," a new audience-free interview series that strips away the traditional talk-show format for longer, more intimate conversations with compelling guests. Each interview will be presented as a curated broadcast segment with an extended version available on THE DREW BARRYMORE SHOW's YouTube channel, giving fans even more access to Drew's uniquely personal interview style. "Personal Space" Daisy Chain Fields Festival Takeover drops at 9AM EST On 9/14.

Olivia on Inspiration for Expectations Lyrics

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/1jYgw2OzKUwA

Drew: OK, how do you know and how do you influence girls that indecision is just not sexy? Because I couldn't agree more, and it's one of my favorite lyrics on the album.

Olivia: Oh, for guys, yes, totally, and expectations. I think I had to train myself that. I'm like, that's so lame. Like you're just like a little boy, you can't decide what you want. You can't decide if you want me or not. Like, no a real strong man would be like, yep, that's my girl, you know what I mean? That's so hot.

Drew: I agree. Indecision is not sexy and it's not appealing, as you say.

Olivia: And we're so decisive too. That's how we live.

Olivia on the Idea for the Festival

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/Slq4TfQfGlCI

Drew: Did this come in like an aha light bulb moment or was it a slow burn?

Olivia: It was a slow burn. I like had this idea in my heart for like a long time and I was kind of scared to say it out loud, you know, when you have like an idea that's really special to you and you're like, if I say it, then it's gonna be real and what if it's bad and like blah blah blah blah. I was getting in my head about it and eventually I just bucked up and I was like, I wanna do this festival. Let's make it happen. We kind of pulled this whole thing together in a year, which in terms of like festival logistics is really, really short, and just everyone just put so much love and hard work and soul into it and I just couldn't be prouder.

Drew: I'm so glad that you did this, and it's like you really picked an iconic symbol that makes me think all the way back to the 60s when women started finding their voice in a new way, because obviously the suffragette movement and women empowerment and women getting the vote and women fighting for their rights has gone on for a long time, but not long enough considering history and this symbol, I think it, it shows me something that is so hopeful, so natural, and also, I like that you're bringing the power and the strength to it. And when I first heard you talking about this, I was like, yes, daisies are so strong when you link them together.

Olivia: Totally power in numbers. We're all so much stronger together.

Olivia on Seeing Insecurities as Strengths

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/UXdpMyB5Oj8M

Drew: Why and how do you make it OK for people to feel that way? Is it because you ever feel that way?

Olivia: I don't know. Don't you think that like your perceived weaknesses are sometimes your greatest strengths? I've always thought that, like all of my like biggest insecurities as I got older, I'm like, but wait, that makes me cool. I'm like, that's why I have this friend, and like that's why like I made this festival and like all of this stuff that you like wish you could change about yourself when you're younger, you grow up and you're like, that's awesome I like love that about me so much. Don't you find that?

Drew: No, not yet. I'm working on it though.

Olivia: I'm sure it ebbs and flows.

Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith on How the Prayer Hands Pose Started and Kate's Original Pitch

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/eNFYAly8wIJF

Drew: I didn't know this, but the iconic picture of you guys with the prayer hands, was that your idea?

Kate: I don't remember.

Jaclyn: Well, it was probably Kate's idea. She had a lot of good ideas.

Drew: And you did that famous leg pose. You have your leg in the white bikini is like, it's just, it's like. It's got this like angle to it and it's about to be the 50th anniversary. Now, maybe the prayer hands moment is hazy in all of the things that you did for the launch of the show, but was it you who spoke to Aaron Spelling about the inception of the show?

Kate: Yes.

Drew: Will you please tell us about that?

Kate: Yeah, I did a show for Spelling Goldberg called 'The Rookies' right before 'Charlie's Angels' and in my 'Rookies' contract I had a clause that said I had to do another series for Spelling Goldberg when 'The Rookies' was over so yeah, clauses so I figured, OK, it's got this season and maybe one more and if Aaron comes up with it, it's gonna be Satan's School for the burning yachts or something really, you know.

Drew: Which I'm kind of here for, but another day go on.

Kate: I sat out in my little trailer and just made some notes and, and 'The Rookies' was 3 young cops, young guys who were cops just flipped that, and we have 3 young women, and, and so I wrote my pitch out and called and said I'd like to come and, talk to Aaron about this new show, this show I have to do after 'The Rookies' was over, it was, when I pitched it to Aaron, I stood up and, you know I realized I had no idea how to start a pitch and I thought, what do you do when you start a story? You go, once upon a time, and that's just everything just fell into place.

Kate and Jaclyn on Seeing Drew's Version and Making a Cameo

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/yyQkpXk1lpwM

Drew: In fact, he has a question right now.

Charlie: If you could relive one day on set, which day would it be?

Kate: Oh, it would probably be a, a day from Angels in chains from the prison show. We were chained together and we stayed chained together the whole through lunch every day, all the breaks, yeah, through when you had to go to the bathroom.

Drew: That was such an important episode to us when we made the film that we recreated the look and we put it in the opening because we thought that we wanted to honor that right out of the gate.

Jaclyn: Yeah, and you did. I mean I love what you did because it linked generations. And you kept the heartbeat is what I loved, the heartbeat of the show.

Drew: I always thought of it as, for me, watching it in the 70s, 'Charlie's Angels' was not only the most important thing for us females, all the men loved it, and women wanted to be you.

Jaclyn: I think they did. They wanted to step out of their comfort zone and be brave and unexpected and certainly your group of angels took us by storm. I mean it was amazing.

Drew: You really think so?

Jaclyn: I do, yeah, you know, I was honored to be in that movie, you know, I have 2 kids and they never watched us, but when I got to do the cameo in your movie, I just stepped up my game and they loved it and it's funny now my granddaughters are watching our show. But I'm sure they're gonna love yours because yours is bigger than life.

Drew on Cameron and Lucy Becoming Family

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/Ei3MHSuog2WG

Drew: We work together and the work becomes, as everyone here, when you are in a job with people, they are in, you're in a relationship with them, but I think a lot of the times we end up going through tough stuff together. And I experienced that with Cameron and Lucy over the course of the last almost 30 years, Divorce, life, death, health, children, What about you guys?

Jaclyn: Well, absolutely, we went through everything, but speaking of Cameron, I saw her in Santa Barbara surrounded with babies, and it was the most beautiful, and I don't know, she looked so happy and in another whole world.

Drew: She is deep in her chapter and she's the best mom, you guys.

Jaclyn: I can imagine.

Kate and Jaclyn on Beauty Standards While Breaking Stereotypes

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/D2TOohMyUABy

Drew: How did you guys handle beauty standards as you were literally also defying and defining them?

Kate: I think we didn't think about it. We just did what we were supposed to do, and that was it.

Jaclyn: I do think it does bring judgment and takes and amplifies everything. You're judged every minute for beauty, but I think the nice thing about 'Charlie's' is we sort of used our, our feminine wiles and our beauty to accomplish our case, and beauty, it's a hard thing.

Drew: But I also love when women just open doors for other women. And to me, that's what you did. What you guys created with 'Charlie's Angels' is something that I think we're still trying to emulate and hold up as women can be attractive inside maybe outside, but I think you could meet the most attractive person and if they don't have the goods they're not attractive they're not, it's true, like oh, you just became unattractive, and then you can meet some kind of, you know, I don't even know, but all of a sudden they're talking and they're showing you their goods and you're like, tell me more. I think that when we set out to make 'Charlie's Angels' I always said that we should not pretend to be men.

Kate: We don't need to pretend to be men. Women are just as good as men.

Kate and Jaclyn on Farrah Fawcett and Her Hair

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/4fo9tEWReg7J

Drew: I didn't really get to know Farrah very well. I was in and around her. I did a film with her husband at the time, Ryan O'Neal, called 'Irreconcilable Differences.' So I would see her from time to time when she would come to set, and I mean, she would walk on set and we'd all get like.

Kate: I'm glad you got to meet her because she was such an important part of 'Charlie's Angels' too, you know, that first year with the red bathing suit and all that, we hit the ground running and it was she really, you know, had it not been for Farrah I don't know how fast we would have hit the ground when we, when we hit the ground, but we hit the ground running. She was very special and very important to, to the show as well as to us as people in real life.

Drew: Did you used to say her hair was the fourth angel?

Jaclyn: I said that, it needed its own phone line. I mean, it was unbelievable. And it was her hair. She just came in like that. I mean, she did do the rollers like you pointed out.

Kate: She put cans, metal cans because it was curly she had on her hair and then she would give an interview and say, 'No, it just grows like this naturally.'
