Los Angeles, June 11 : Tara Reid was inspired to become an actress by Drew Barrymore in E.T.

The American Pie star instantly knew she wanted to be a Hollywood star as a little girl when she watched child star Drew play Gertie in Steven Spielbergs 1982 sci-fi classic about a lost alien who secretly lives with an American family after getting separated from his spaceship, reports Female First UK.Tara can recall turning to her mother and telling her that she was going to become an actress.She told Mr.Warbuton magazine: "I fell in love with the world I am in and the art I do.I remember when I watched E.T and saw Drew Barrymore, Im like, Mommy, I want to do that."The actress admitted that her career in the film industry came true after a "series of miracles".

As per Female First UK, the Josie and the Pussycats star feels as though she has been unfairly treated by Hollywood because of her party girl image from her 20s.Tara, 47, said: "I was the first one that started this image.The difference is I never did sex tapes.I never did anything wrong.Ive never even gotten a speeding ticket.

But what I did get punished for is if I wasnt shooting, I went to Europe right away.Id be popping bottles, and I had a great time."I was just on an attack.

Anything I did was on tape, it was pretty awful.And thats why I left.

It wasnt because I was just a girl.It was because I was an easy target," she added.
