Juliette Lewis is without question the figurehead and bright shining star of the Lewis ensemble, catapulting into fame through her roles in undisputed Hollywood classics like Cape Fear (1991), Natural Born Killers (1994), and The Basketball Diaries (1995).
Even at a young age, she was dubbed the “it girl” of the silver screen throughout the 1990s. Like many actresses before her, she drew attention to herself through outstanding performances in the indie and arthouse circuit, building a resume that directors like Martin Scorsese couldn’t ignore.
Lewis is the daughter of Geoffrey Lewis and Glenis Batley, a graphic designer. At just 2-years-old, her parents divorced, leaving her to bounce back and forth between homes in Los Angeles throughout her childhood.
Despite the rocky relationships with her mother and father, she managed to take the trauma as a child of divorce and channel it into memorable performances.
Her first major appearance that didn’t include an uncredited role in Bronco Billy (1980) was in the television film Home Fires (1987). She turned heads immediately as a unique actress thanks to her quirky and offbeat style.
With Juliette beginning to pick up work as an in-demand talent, she filed to become legally emancipated from her parents at only 14-years-old. A common misconception is that she had done this to cut ties with her family. The reality is it was done with their approval and as a way to work freely.
By 2003, Juliette began a musical career! She started the rock band Juliette and the Licks with the former drummer of Hole, Patty Schemel. She saw modest success with her debut EP, …Like a Bolt of Lightning (2004).
Juliette Lewis is involved in philanthropic work and has supported the charity Little Kids Rock. The nonprofit’s mission is to allow children to play music by donating equipment and music instruction to public school districts across the country.
