To me, what sets Barrymore apart is she is an actress and she has been a creative force in films for decades (granted, I haven’t liked most of what she has done, but her industry accomplishments are undeniable in spite of my opinions). For her to move forward feels like a betrayal to both striking unions. She’s got hers, so she doesn’t stand with those who don’t have theirs. Others will undeniably follow suit, but as you pointed out, she is part of a stage and screen legacy, so she ought to know how this plays amongst her peers.
