Home Women Juliette Lewis :

On the road with homicidal partner Pitt and yuppies David Duchovny and Michelle Forbes, her clueless trailer-park Lolita was a perfect "enabler" for Pitt's serial killer. Back on the road for "Natural Born Killers" (1994), more closely matched in sociopathic tendencies with fellow love-thug Woody Harrelson as they terrorized the Southwest on their killing spree, she captured the frighteningly odd emptiness of her character's moral inattention. Tucked amidst these on-the-edge roles was an atypically sweet, reflective turn with Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio in the offbeat "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" (also 1993), but a reteaming with DiCaprio in "Basketball Diaries" (1995) returned her to familiar low-life terrain as a scuzzy hooker. 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 has also launched a career as a solo singer and musician, leading a group called Juliette and the Licks which has released a number of recordings. 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)". Lewis was featured in some lighter fare, as a tough New Jersey girl in the 1980s period piece "Hysterical Blindness" (2002), the HBO original movie co-starred Emmy nominee Gena Rowlands and Golden Globe recipient Uma Thurman. She was next seen in the thriller "Enough" (2002), which starred Jennifer Lopez as an abused wife and mother who with the help of Lewis' character tries unsuccessfully to escape her abusive husband (played by Billy Campbell). Thier bootless attempts result in a plot for Lopez to kill her abuser. Then, the following year, Lewis took the turn from serious to comical when she was cast as the girlfriend of Luke Wilson's character in the hilarious feature, "Old School" (2003), a raucous comedy about a trio of thirtysomething buddies who try to recapture their college years by starting their own off-campus fraternity. 

Lewis dated actor Brad Pitt for several years and co-starred with him in the movies Kalifornia and Too Young to Die?. She also dated the nanny employed by musicians Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, Michael Dewitt. She married professional skateboarder Steve Berra in 1999, but they are now divorced. She is a member of the Church of Scientology. Lewis' sister, Brandy, is married to My Name Is Earl star Ethan Suplee. Lewis guest-starred on My Name Is Earl in 2006.
