Career
1987–1999: Early career and success
Following an uncredited role in Bronco Billy (1980), Lewis made her first major screen appearance in the television film Home Fires (1987).<ref name=fires>Template:Cite web</ref> Howard Rosenberg of the Los Angeles Times praised her performance in the latter, writing that she "lights up the screen".<ref name=fires/> She then starred as Kate Farrell on the ABC sitcom I Married Dora, which ran between 1987 and 1988.<ref name=tvg>Template:Cite web</ref> At age 14, she was legally emancipated from her parents—with their approval—enabling her to work more freely.<ref name=emancipated>Template:Cite web</ref> She later recalled, "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 [your] resume to say emancipated minor versus minor, because you then can work [longer hours]'".<ref name=emancipated/>
Lewis had a minor part in the science fiction comedy My Stepmother Is an Alien (1988)—playing Lexie, the best friend of main character Jessie—before landing her first major supporting role as Audrey Griswold in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989),<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> which is now regarded as a "classic" in its genre.<ref name=RS_Vacation>Template:Cite magazine</ref> Regarding her involvement with the film and the opportunity to work with co-star Chevy Chase, Lewis later reflected, "even at [age] 15, I knew it was a big deal".<ref name=RS_Vacation/> She followed this with appearances in the comedies Meet the Hollowheads and The Runnin' Kind,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> as well as a guest-starring role as Delores on the coming-of-age drama series The Wonder Years (all 1989).<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
In 1990, Lewis co-starred with Brad Pitt, whom she would go on to date for four years,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> in the Lifetime television film Too Young to Die?, a crime drama based loosely on the case of Attina Marie Cannaday. Lewis played Amanda, a troubled teenager who falls into a world of prostitution and drugs.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> In his review for the Los Angeles Times, Ray Loynd felt that the film worked due to its "compelling script [and Lewis'] authentic portrayal of the young and abused murderess whose first question to her public defender [is] whether he has any sugar-coated candies".<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Lewis garnered international attention when she beat out 500 other actresses to play Danielle Bowden,<ref>Template:Cite webTemplate:Dead link</ref> the daughter of a family targeted by psychopathic criminal Max Cady, in Martin Scorsese's 1991 remake of Cape Fear (1962).<ref name=nytcf/> Vincent Canby of The New York Times lauded her performance, calling her "a new young actress of stunning possibilities",<ref name=nytcf>Template:Cite web</ref> while The Hollywood ReporterTemplate:'s Duane Byrge commented, "Perhaps providing the strongest real counterbalance to De Niro's crazy Cady is Juliette Lewis, whose [performance] shows the most sinewy fiber".<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> She went on to receive Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations for the role.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Retrospectively, the sequence in which her character is seduced by Cady was named one of the most unforgettable scenes in film history by Entertainment Weekly and Complex.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> On working with Scorsese, Lewis has since said, "I liken that period of time to being anointed, or getting my creative wings ... [the experience] changed me [and] gave me a confidence ... It wasn't [about] the outside accolades. It was [Scorsese] nurturing my ingredients as a performer".<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
In 1992, Lewis had a supporting role in Woody Allen's Husbands and Wives, with Rita Kempley of The Washington Post describing her portrayal of Rain—a "Lolita"-esque college student— as "sumptuous".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> She headlined the romantic drama That Night the same year, a coming-of-age story set in the 1960s.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> Lewis appeared in several films in 1993, including Peter Medak's neo-noir thriller Romeo Is Bleeding, where she played the mistress of a corrupt cop.<ref name=romeo>Template:Cite web</ref> She then reunited with Brad Pitt in Kalifornia, co-starring as the girlfriend of a serial killer.<ref name=kalifornia/> Critic Roger Ebert deemed Lewis's portrayal of the childlike Adele one of "the most harrowing and convincing performances I've ever seen".<ref name=kalifornia>Template:Cite web</ref> At the time of filming Kalifornia, Lewis and Pitt had been in a relationship since 1990, though they separated the year of its release.<ref name=wild/> Next, she appeared as a psychiatric patient in the music video for Melissa Etheridge's "Come to My Window",<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and starred in the Lasse Hallström-directed What's Eating Gilbert Grape (also 1993), playing Becky, a free-spirited drifter who befriends a young man and his disabled brother in a small Midwestern town.
Lewis received the Pasinetti Award for Best Actress at the 1994 Venice Film Festival for her portrayal of Mallory Knox,<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> a murderous woman who embarks on a killing spree with her psychotic lover, in Oliver Stone's satiric, controversial crime film Natural Born Killers.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> Though criticized for its excessive violence and influencing of copycat crimes,<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> with Lewis later admitting that playing a woman who displays such "volatility and repulsive behavior" had had a detrimental effect on her career,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> her performance in Killers was roundly praised,<ref name=latnbk>Template:Cite news</ref> with Rolling StoneTemplate:'s Peter Travers deeming it "sensational":
Lewis had a supporting role that same year in Nora Ephron's Christmas-themed black comedy Mixed Nuts.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> She then starred as rock singer Faith Justin in Kathryn Bigelow's experimental science fiction film Strange Days (1995), doing her own singing on covers of two songs written by PJ Harvey.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> Though a box-office failure, Days went on to develop a cult following in later years.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Next, Lewis made a "massively disturbing" appearance as a heroin addict in The Basketball Diaries (also 1995),<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> a crime drama based on Jim Carroll's memoir of the same name.
In 1996, Lewis had supporting roles in comedy-drama The Evening Star—a sequel to Terms of Endearment (1983)—and the Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez action horror film From Dusk till Dawn. Writing for The New York Times, Janet Maslin pointed out that the role of "clean-living ingenue" Kate Fuller in Dawn was an ironic departure for Lewis.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> She next appeared in the romantic comedy Some Girl (1998),<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> followed by The Other Sister (1999), in which she portrayed a woman with an intellectual disability attempting to achieve independence. The film received largely unfavorable reviews,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> though Stephen Holden of The New York Times felt that it was "beautifully acted", noting, "Carla is played by Ms. Lewis with enormous heart and sensitivity, and with body language so precise that you soon forget it is a performance".<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Lewis later admitted to having been "scared" by the challenge of portraying somebody with a neurological disorder, saying that it was "the hardest role I have ever had to play".<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
2000–2010: Film, television, and music
Lewis received praise for her performance in The Way of the Gun (2000), the directorial debut of Christopher McQuarrie.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Writing for The Austin Chronicle, Marjorie Baumgarten felt her portrayal of pregnant kidnap victim Robin was imbued "with rich veins of honesty and truth".<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> That same year, she provided vocals for the track "Bad Brother" by Infidels, which featured on the soundtrack to The Crow: Salvation.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> She then headlined the neo-noir crime film Picture Claire (2001),<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> followed by a supporting role in the independent lesbian-themed comedy Gaudi Afternoon (2001). The latter received unfavorable reviews, with A. O. Scott of The New York Times writing that Lewis and co-star Lili Taylor "overact like second-string sketch performers on Saturday Night Live".<ref name=gaudi>Template:Cite web</ref> Next, she played the concerned best friend of a woman trapped in a violent relationship in Enough (2002), a big-budget thriller directed by Michael Apted.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Lewis received Emmy and Independent Spirit Award nominations for her performance in the 2002 television film Hysterical Blindness, where she co-starred as the friend of a woman in 1980s New Jersey who receives an unfortunate diagnosis.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> She then appeared in the poorly received Cold Creek Manor (2003), a thriller directed by Mike Figgis, playing the battered "white-trash" girlfriend of an unstable villain.<ref name=ccm>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Next, she featured in the music video for HIM's "Buried Alive By Love" and played the supporting role of Heidi in Todd Phillips' 2003 comedy Old School.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Lewis had supporting parts in two comedies released in 2006: The Darwin Awards and Catch and Release.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Around the same time, Juliette and the Licks recorded their second studio album—Four on the Floor—which was released in 2007.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Lewis appeared in Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto IV the following year, providing the voice of "Juliette", the host of fictional radio station Radio Broker.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Next, she played a key role in Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, the 2009 comedy-drama Whip It!,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and provided voice work for the animated science fiction film Metropia (also 2009), directed by Tarik Saleh.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Describing her portrayal of an aggressive roller derby captain in Whip It, The Guardian commented that Lewis was "all grimy attitude and slinky rock-chick insouciance".<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> She released her first solo studio album that same year, titled Terra Incognita, through The End Records.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
In 2010, Lewis starred in a number of films, first appearing in Mark Ruffalo's directorial debut Sympathy for Delicious,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> followed by romantic comedy The Switch, in which she appeared as the best friend of a woman trying to conceive a child through artificial insemination.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> She also portrayed a murder witness in the biographical crime drama Conviction,<ref name=wsjconviction>Template:Cite web</ref> with The Wall Street Journal calling her a "scene-stealer",<ref name=wsjconviction/> and the Boston Society of Film Critics awarding her Best Supporting Actress.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> She reprised the role of Heidi—her character in Old School—that same year in the black comedy Due Date.<ref name=duedate>Template:Cite web</ref>
2011–present: Television and film roles

Lewis was involved in musical projects in 2013, providing backing vocals on Joseph Arthur's album The Ballad of Boogie Christ and appearing in the music video for "City of Angels" by Thirty Seconds to Mars.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> Her next film roles were the 2014 independent features Hellion, for which she received positive notices,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and Kelly & Cal, where she starred as a punk rocker-turned-suburban housewife. Her portrayal of Kelly in the latter was particularly well received,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> with The New York Times commenting that it "crackle[s] with authenticity", adding:
Lewis's next role was in Jem and the Holograms (2015), an adaptation of the 1980s animated series Jem,<ref name="jem" /> where she played a music producer. The film was a financial disappointment for Universal and received a largely negative response from critics.<ref name=jem>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> She followed this with a starring role as a small-town detective on the ABC crime drama series Secrets and Lies, which ran for two seasons. The show received a mixed reception, with Neil Genzlinger commenting in his review for The New York Times, "Ms. Lewis's dour detective character, Andrea Cornell, is a cliché stretched beyond the point of believability".<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Next, she had a recurring guest role on the first season of the science fiction mystery series Wayward Pines (2015),<ref name=ww>Template:Cite web</ref> contributed vocals to the song "Stickup" by Karma Fields and Morten,<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> and played the mother of a high schooler in techno-thriller Nerve (2016).<ref name=ya>Template:Cite web</ref>

Writing for The Hollywood Reporter, Frank Scheck said it offered "many powerful moments" and featured an "excellent" performance from Lewis.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Next, she played a supporting role in Sam Taylor-Johnson's A Million Little Pieces, adapted from the book of the same name.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In late 2018, Lewis was cast in the recurring role of Blue on the debut season of ABC's The Conners—a spin-off from Roseanne—where she appeared for three episodes.<ref name= "Conners">Template:Cite news</ref>
In Tate Taylor's 2019 psychological horror film Ma, Lewis played the mother of a teenage girl who grows close to a disturbed woman in their neighborhood.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The Blumhouse production was a box-office success, grossing over $60 million worldwide.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Lewis reunited with Taylor for the same year's Breaking News in Yuba County, co-starring as Gloria Michaels,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and appeared in the guest role of Kathy on Hulu's strongly reviewed crime series The Act,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> a drama based on the murder of Dee Dee Blanchard.<ref name=circle>Template:Cite web</ref>
Lewis starred on the Showtime mystery thriller series Yellowjackets between November 2021 and May 2023, portraying Natalie Scatorccio, a plane crash survivor haunted by painful secrets.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The show was received enthusiastically by critics,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> with The GuardianTemplate:'s Leila Latif calling Lewis "sublime", noting that "[she] stunningly performs the nuances of tentative empathy and glimmers of optimism within a deep chasm of grief".<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Of her involvement with the series, Lewis said, "I was so in fear of being typecast that I worried people wouldn't know what goes into a character like this. Natalie is nothing like myself. But because there's certain things, like 'tough' and 'wrong side of the tracks' or whatever, people think it's something I've played before, but I haven't. [It has taken] me like 30 years for people to go, 'Wow, she does unpredictable stuff, and it's high quality'".<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> During that same period, Lewis appeared as Judy on Peacock's reboot of Queer as Folk (2022) and co-starred in the biographical Hulu miniseries Welcome to Chippendales (also 2022). Richard Roeper called the latter "colorful and shiny but increasingly dark and twisted" in his review for the Chicago Sun-Times, adding that Lewis's portrayal of forthright costume designer Denise Coughlan was "outstanding".<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Personal life

I think there's so much confusion because people don't understand a religion where you can be another religion but you can still practice Scientology".<ref name="vanityfair">Template:Cite web</ref> In an interview with Time in 2015, Lewis remarked about protecting her freedom of choice and religion, and being annoyed at people's misconceptions about Scientology: "Whatever people's conceptions are of me, I think it's cute. I roll with it".<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> By 2021, she began to distance herself from Scientology, telling The New York Times and The Washington Post that she is a spiritualist and does not identify as a Scientologist.<ref name="Ryz21">Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Lewis married professional skateboarder Steve Berra in September 1999.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> She filed for divorce in April 2003.<ref name=divorce>Template:Cite web</ref> Lewis described the divorce as "amicable",<ref name=divorce/> later commenting, "Steve would be the first to admit he was a workaholic. You have to be ready to have a partnership. And sometimes you're like, 'Whoa, this is too much. I only actually have enough steam to focus on my own thing'".<ref name=wild>Template:Cite web</ref>
Lewis has supported Little Kids Rock, an American nonprofit organization that works to restore and revitalize music education in disadvantaged U.S. public schools, by painting a Fender Stratocaster guitar and donating it to an auction to raise money for the organization.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
