She described Barrymore as the “kindest person” while recounting stories, she said,
“She’s just the most special, kindest person. I had this moment, she gave me a gift when we started doing Ever After. And it was so sweet, and I was like ‘I want to give her a gift’. And I found, at this antique market, these plates with a butterfly opening in different stages. I was like ‘Perfect!‘And I gave it to her and she was like, ‘Oh my God! If each one of these plates was to fall to the floor and smash into a thousand million pieces, each one of the pieces would scream I love you Melanie.”
Lynskey was in awe as Barrymore seemed like a real life fairy. She added,
“In the moment of receiving the gift, that’s what came out of her mouth. It was the most beautiful poetic. I was just like, ‘Oh, you’re a fairy!’
