During her own talk show, “The Drew Barrymore Show,” the actress revealed that in the original version of the film, there was no “happily ever after” for the characters Lucy, played by her, and Henry, played by Adam Sandler.
The original ending would have shown Lucy telling Henry to live his life, and he would eventually return to the restaurant, where he would reintroduce himself to her.
“Something I always remember is the original ending of ’50 First Dates.’ Yes, it would have been a drama set in Seattle. The original ending was her saying [to Henry]: ‘You should go and live your life, because this [relationship with Lucy] is not life.’ So, he leaves, but comes back and walks into the restaurant. He just sits down and says: ‘Hi, I’m Henry.’ And the film ends.”
The film tells the love story between Henry, a veterinarian, and Lucy, an art teacher who suffers from anterograde amnesia, which makes her forget the previous day. In the final version of the film, Henry records a special video so that Lucy can remember his love every morning, culminating in a happy ending for the couple.
