  And according to the red carpet walkers she did it perfectly well.

   For her directing debut, Drew Barrymore chose the tale of Bliss, a Texan girl who follows her dream of starring in a roller derby.

   David Stern, the former Wonder Years narrator who plays the role of the lead characters' father, had nothing but kind words for Drew's foray into movie-making.

   He said: "Drew was fantastic - I love working for actors who are directors.

   "The way she brought out all the emotions in the actors was beautiful."

    Likewise the female cast members - which includes Eve, Ellen Page and Juliette Movie - gushed over Drew's directorial skills, according to Press Association.
