Drew Barrymore explains how she survived the pitfalls of being a child star, Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss reveals the downside of unwanted fame - but not the names in her little black book - and Jim Carrey turns on the high-octane Hollywood charm. Finally Ruby discusses, with her daughters Maddy and Marina Bye, the impact fame has had on her life, and her struggle with mental illness.
