Dylan Sanders (‘00-'03) Born Helen Zaas, Dylan never knew her father, and her mother died when she was 5 years old. She grew up on the street, and dated a member of the O'Grady clan, until she witnessed him murder someone. When she testified against him, she was placed in the Witness Protection Program, and changed her name to Dylan Sanders. She later joined the a police academy, but decided it was best to leave after punching her superior. Other jobs held by Dylan before joining the Townsend Agency include being a professional wrestler named “Lady Insane”, rodeo entertainer, bartender, yoga instructor, and driver of monster trucks. Dylan finally found her family when Charlie offered her a place among the Angels. She looks up to Charlie as a father she never had, and would do anything to protect her loved ones. The rebellious Pisces tries to find good in everyone, which often leads to love in all the wrong places. But when crossed, Dylan is an incredible force to be reckoned with.
Drew Blyth Barrymore was born on February 22, 1975 into a royal family of Hollywood. In fact, Drew’s grandfather is John Barrymore, and the family serves as the inspiration for the Broadway production, “The Royal Family”. Her first job was a dog food commercial at 11 months old. Drew grew up fast, and attending Hollywood parties at the age of 9 isn’t a good thing. She was smoking by 9, toking by 12, and coking by 13. After a couple stints in rehab, a failed suicide attempt, a three month stay with singer David Crosby, and a legal emancipation from her mother, Drew was headed onward and upward. She started getting adult roles (some in her early teens) such as Poison Ivy with Cheryl Ladd. Other great films starring Drew include E.T., Firestarter, Ever After, Mad Love, The Wedding Singer, Never Been Kissed, 50 First Dates, and Grey Gardens. In '95, Drew formed Flower Film Productions with friend Nancy Juvonen. Drew was a fan of the original Charlie’s Angels series, stating her favorite episode as “Angel On Wheels”, and she quickly acquired the movie rights after Flower Films was established. Whip It, a film about roller derby, marked Drew’s feature film directorial debut…coincidence? After two Charlie’s Angels films, she reportedly pitched a new Charlie’s Angels series several times, and finally the new series aired on September 22, 2011. That date marked the 35 year anniversary of the first episode of the original series.
Drew is the guardian angel of Angel fans, and I personally couldn’t begin to thank her enough for reviving my favorite franchise. After two fresh takes on the premise and 11+ hours of entertainment, she has proven that she truly is a kick-ass Angel!
