Tommy Lee Jones shares two children with his second wife, Kimberlea Cloughley. The former couple’s first child, Austin, is 43. Victoria previously appeared in several of her father’s movies, including Men in Black II and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, which Tommy Lee Jones directed and starred in.
In a 2006 interview with The New Yorker, her father said that she wasn’t a fan of some of the early starts when it came to TV and film production when she was a teenager.
“She had to get up at 5am for her part,” he recalled of her role in Three Burials. “One morning, she wouldn’t get out of bed. I said: ‘Honey, this is work.’ But she wouldn’t budge. So I fired her. Then, without telling me, the production staff went over and woke her and rushed her out to the set just in time.”
RIP.
