MY LIFE IN 10 PICTURES

From Cape Fear to ABC’s Secrets and Lies, revisit Juliette Lewis’ storied career.

JULIETTE LEWIS’ life has been anything but conventional, starting with her childhood. Her dad, actor Geoffrey Lewis (High Plains Drifter), and mom helped her get emancipated from child labor laws so she could act more than eight hours a day at age 14. She began a fouryear relationship with Brad Pitt at 17, scored an Oscar nomination at 18, overcame addiction by quitting drugs at 22, formed the rock band Juliette and the Licks at 30 and battled mania her entire life. “The bravest thing I ever did was continuing to live when I wanted

to die,” Juliette (who turned 45 on June 21) has shared. But she gained strength by finding her own path in life. “I had parents that always promoted nurturing your voice, or your ability, or what you

want to do. And now I look back and I’m proud.”

“I wear my heart on my sleeve. I have no poker face.”
