Juliette Lewis (born June 21, 1973)
is an American actress and musician.
Lewis was born in Los Angeles, California to Geoffrey Lewis, an actor, and
Glenis Duggan Batley, a graphic designer. She has four siblings – brothers
Lightfield and Peter, and sisters Dierdre and Brandy.
Juliette Lewis wanted to act since she was six years old, and has appeared
in over forty films and made-for-TV movies. She appeared in The Wonder
Years as Wayne's girlfriend in Episodes 24, 34 and 36. Lewis first
garnered international attention and acclaim in 1991 with her turn as
Danielle Bowden in Martin Scorsese's remake of Cape Fear, for which she
was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1992.
Over the next few years, she won further critical support in Peter Medak's
Romeo Is Bleeding, and as opposite Brad Pitt in Kalifornia. In 1993 she
acted alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp in the drama film What's
Eating Gilbert Grape. She played Mallory Knox in Oliver Stone's Natural
Born Killers. She played a rock singer in the film Strange Days, doing her
own singing on covers of two songs written by PJ Harvey, giving fans an
early look at her musical prowess.
She received an Emmy nomination for her performance in Hysterical
Blindness in 2003. She also appeared in the HIM music video for "Buried
Alive By Love" in 2003.
Lewis appeared in Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto IV, providing the voice
of "Juliette", the host of fictional radio station "Radio Broker". She
starred in the video for the Melissa Etheridge song "Come To My Window",
and has also appeared in a GAP commercial which she was dancing with Daft
Punk to the tune of the song "Digital Love".
Lewis launched a career as a solo singer and musician, leading a group
called Juliette and the Licks until 2009. After splitting with the Licks,
she has formed a new band called The New Romantiques, with whom she has
recorded a new album entitled Terra Incognita.
She is working with rock songwriter Linda Perry, among others. Lewis has
also appeared on three tracks by Electronic Music group The Prodigy's 2004
CD Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned ("Spitfire", "Get Up Get Off", and
"Hot Ride"). In 2006, Blender magazine included her in their hottest women
of rock music list while saying, "[She] delivered sonically varnished
melodic punk replete with purring vocals and lyrics that bash porn,
pharmaceutical companies and rotten lovers. (in no particular order)".
At the age of 14, she left her parents and went to live with a family
friend, actress Karen Black before moving into her own apartment. Dropping
out of high school she got into trouble with the law, driving illegally at
15 and arrested in a night-club at 16 for being under-age. She also went
into rehab for drug addiction in her twenties.
Lewis dated actor Brad Pitt and co-starred with him in the films
Kalifornia and Too Young to Die?. She also dated Michael Dewitt, the nanny
employed by musicians Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. She married
professional skateboarder Steve Berra in 1999; they divorced in 2003.
Lewis is a member of the Church of Scientology. |

"Fame can be just so annoying
because people are so critical of you. You can't just say 'hi'. You
say hi and people whisper 'Man, did you see the way she said Hi.
What an attitude.'"
"Just 'cause I'm in the same age bracket as Johnny Depp and Leo
Dicaprio doesn't mean we all screw together."
"Just to buck the system in California, I bought a Mazda for $6,000
when I was 15 without even bothering to get a license." |
