Juliette Lewis Modeling Pictures & Celebrity Movies

Juliette Lewis is recognized as one of Hollywood's most talented and versatile actors of her generation. She first stunned audiences and critics alike with her Oscar-nominated performance as 'Danielle Bowden' in Cape Fear (1991). To date, she has worked with some of the most revered directors in the industry -- Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, Lasse Hallström, Oliver Stone, and Garry Marshall. She most recently received an Emmy nomination for her performance in My Louisiana Sky (2001) (TV). Whether lending dramatic authenticity or a natural comedic flair, Lewis graces her roles with remarkable range and an original and captivating style. Lewis recently co-starred opposite Jennifer Lopez in the thriller _Enough (2002)_ directed by Michael Apted. Lewis played the best friend of an abused woman (Lopez) who must reclaim her life from her dangerous husband. The part appealed to her because she got to play "sweet, vibrant, regular gal," she offers. The poignant drama Hysterical Blindness (2002) (TV) debuted on August 25, 2002 on HBO, in which Lewis stared with Uma Thurman and Gena Rowlands. Set in the 1980s, the story follows two single, working-class New Jersey women (Lewis and Thurman) on a bittersweet quest for love and meaning. Based on the play by Laura Cahill, the film is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Mira Nair (_Monsoon Wedding_ ) and executive produced by Thurman. "Hysterical Blindness" was the centerpiece premiere at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. "I've never seen this female perspective told before with such a true voice," says Lewis, who plays a single mother in "Hysterical Blindness". "It's raw, heartbreakingly honest and real." Lewis went blond for her role in the DreamWorks comedy Old School (2003) . She co-starred opposite Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Will Ferrell in this story of disenchanted men who try to recapture their college days by starting a fraternity. "The script was a laugh-out-loud page-turner," says Lewis, who plays Wilson's seemingly innocent girlfriend. "If I was going to be in a rip-roaring boy's comedy, I knew I didn't want to play straight man. I love doing comedy and doing characters, and I made this one a pampered California girl. My scenes with Luke Wilson are very situational -- and that's where the comedy lies. I'm naturally kind of ridiculous. I don't take myself or others too seriously." "Old School" was released in 2003
