Juliette Lewis was born in 1973 in Woodland Hills, California, to a creative family. Her father, Geoffrey Lewis, was a character actor known for working in numerous films and television shows, while her mother, Glenis Duggan Batley, was a graphic designer. Raised in a household that valued artistic expression, Lewis was encouraged by her parents to pursue her creative interests from an early age.
Determined to become an actress by the age of seven, Lewis began auditioning young and secured her first acting role by the age of 14. Her breakout performance came when she was cast by Martin Scorsese as Danielle Bowden in the 1991 film Cape Fear, acting alongside Robert De Niro and Nick Nolte. Her performance earned widespread acclaim, including an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, marking a pivotal point in her career.
Following Cape Fear, she appeared in Woody Allen’s Husbands and Wives (1992), further establishing her as a talented actress in Hollywood. She went on to star as Mallory Knox, a psychopathic killer, in Oliver Stone’s controversial film Natural Born Killers (1994), which solidified her reputation for taking on bold and intense roles.
In addition to her more high-profile roles, Lewis appeared in a range of successful films throughout the 1990s and 2000s, including What’s Eating Gilbert Grape (1993), where she acted opposite Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio, and Whip It (2009), directed by Drew Barrymore. She received an Emmy nomination for her work in the television film Hysterical Blindness (2002).
At age 30, Lewis transitioned into music by forming the rock band Juliette and the Licks. Her work as the band’s frontwoman was marked by energetic and raw live performances. Known for her aggressive stage persona and powerful vocals, she quickly earned comparisons to punk icon Iggy Pop and was often referred to as “the female Iggy Pop.” The band toured extensively, and Lewis stated that performing live provided her with an unparalleled adrenaline rush.
Lewis's early personal life was marked by both challenges and visibility. She began using marijuana at age 13 and dropped out of high school at 15. In her early twenties, she battled drug addiction and later sought help at a rehabilitation facility associated with the Church of Scientology in Florida.
Lewis had a highly publicized relationship with actor Brad Pitt when she was still a teenager, which drew public interest during the early phase of her career. She later married professional skateboarder Steve Berra, but the marriage ended in divorce after four years. Despite the separation, they have remained on good terms.
Juliette Lewis is a practicing Scientologist and has expressed an appreciation for Eastern philosophy. Despite her association with Scientology, she also identifies as a Christian, reflecting a broad spiritual outlook that integrates different belief systems.
As of recent estimates, Lewis has a net worth of approximately $20 million. She continues to reside in Los Angeles, where she remains active in both acting and music, committed to her artistic and spiritual pursuits.
