Whose breakout role was Gertie in 1982's 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial'?

Barrymore ad-libbed several of her lines in the film, including her exasperated "Give me a break!" when older brother Elliott claims that only little kids can see E.T. Barrymore, a member of the troubled Barrymore acting dynasty, would go on to battle substance abuse issues as preteen before getting clean and embarking on a successful career as an actress and producer.
