Barrymore has done some maturing offscreen as well. "I'm becoming that dork I couldn't stand when I was a kid," she says, while diving into a Korean dinner of barbecued mushrooms.

...here in Raanana (an 80,000-person city just north of Jerusalem's younger, larger, secular brother Tel Aviv), "Beverly Hills 90210," "Family Matters" and "Full House" are on the menu daily, not to mention CNN. There are also some shows you might have missed the first time around, like "Mr. Rhodes" and "California Dreams."
