Pattern illustrations, part deux.

So we are all familiar with the patterns from the '70s-'80s that featured already-famous people: Brooke Shields, Marlo Thomas, Marie Osmond...but once in a while I find a pattern with an uncredited model that makes me do a double-take.  
Like this one:
 I swear, that's got to be Drew Barrymore.  Am I wrong? 

(That little huichol style top is oh so cute....must buy....must make for my daughter....)

  3. Nah, I was just watching E.T. the other night with my kids, so the little-kid version of her was fresh in my mind.

  4. Agree with previous post. See an image from ET, you'll see the difference. Brooke Shield was a child model from babyhood, Marlo Thomas' Dad was a comedian and had a situation comedy in 1950. "That Girl", with Marlo, was popular about the same time Sally Field was the Flying Nun.(early 60's)

  6. There's a model in the Simplicity? pattern catalogs in the 70s that looks just like susan sarandon.
