I love Geoffrey and it was great to see him with his daughter


I have been a fan of his ever since "Every which way but loose" and discovered who his daughter is a few weeks ago so even though they didn't spend much on screen time together it was nice to see them together. By the way I loved the picture

Yes, I'm a huge fan of this film. Juliette is one of Geoffrey's ten children.

I read that Juliette Lewis at age 14 arranged to be legally emancipated from her parents. Don't know how that affected her personal relationship with her father but it obviously didn't prevent a professional working relationship.

Her emancipation was a working actor legal thing.

"My parents helped me get emancipated from child labor laws," Lewis explained to host Ricky Camilleri.

"I know that sounds all radical, but when you start acting when you're younger, you talk to other actor kids and their moms, and they're like, 'Yeah, if you want to get a job, they like on your resume to say emancipated minor versus minor, because you then can work over eight hours.' Uma Thurman was emancipated, Giovanni Ribisi -- so many people got emancipated who were working as teenagers."

Lewis added that rumors online indicating she split from her parents because of discord are simply not true.

"So I just have to clear that up," she said. "Do you know, I can't even change the false facts that are on the Interweb about me? You're like, 'No, it's me, and you're wrong about my history!'"

Lewis described her parents as "radical, hilarious, artistic" and always very supportive of her aspirations to be an actress.

It's not what a movie is about, it's how it is about it.

This. I love that guy, such a cool character actor, love Juliette too. It's sad he passed recently and that's how I found out they were father and daughter. Ironically, Juliette was doing a show at the time that also starred Ryan Phillippe.
