The Lisa Frankenstein star was a child actress

Kathryn Newton certainly knows how to turn heads, and did just that at the start of the week as she appeared on on Tuesday. 

The star was joined by her co-star Cole Sprouse, looking fantastic in a bold, all red look. 

Kathryn rocked a tailored mini dress teamed with matching sheer tights and chunky platform heels. A bold red lipstick completed her Valentines-ready look. 

During the chat with Drew Barrymore, former child star Kathryn opened up about her time on the hit soap opera, , in which she starred alongside Kelly Ripa, playing her little sister, Colby Marian Chandler, from 2001 to 2004. 

Drew said to Kathryn: "You do also make families, like the extended family I found on sets. And you were related to Kelly Ripa in the soap opera All My Children." 

She responded: "She played my sister. Jonathan Bennett played my brother; Josh Duhamel played the same character as my brother. And it's so strange when you're little, after they switched these actors out, and Jonathan Bennett wasn't my brother anymore, I still went with him to Toys R Us. 

"I was convinced he was my brother and Kelly Ripa was my sister. I know now she's not, and I'm okay...But I do think being on a set, no one understands. Like we're here on your show, and we know you want us to do a good job. 

"And I feel like that's my experience of being on a set, everyone around me always wanted me to do a good job." 

Kathryn has starred alongside many big names throughout her career over the years, and another of her earliest roles was alongside Cameron Diaz in who she has very fond memories of too. 

She recalled to Collider about working with the Hollywood star, telling the publication: "You know what's so cool? [Cameron Diaz] knew that we all wanted a picture with her, because we were like 11 years old, and she hired a photographer, and they printed out the picture, and she signed it for everybody. 

"Not just the leads, like the lead kids. I think she did it for all the extras. Like, what? Superstar! So, I learned a lot from that!" 

Kathryn's latest big role is in eighties-themed horror comedy film Lisa Frankenstein, playing the lead of Lisa, a misunderstood teenager who falls in love with a reanimated corpse, played by Cole Sprouse, who emerges from his grave missing some key body parts. 

The pair go on a killing spree to collect the body parts needed for Cole's alter-ego. The film was directed by Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, with it marking her directorial debut.
