About Victoria Jones
Tommy Lee Jones’ daughter, Victoria, was one of his two children. She was born to Tommy and his second wife, Kimberlea Cloughley. Kimberlea and Tommy also share a son, 43-year-old Austin Jones.
Tommy, known for his roles in the Loretta Lynn biopic Coal Miner’s Daughter, No Country for Old Men, and The Fugitive, inspired Victoria to start acting at a young age. She first appeared in Men in Black II in 2002 (which her father starred in).
Victoria also appeared in the film The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. Tommy directed the project. Additionally, Victoria appeared in an episode of One Tree Hill in 2003.
“She’s a good actress, has her SAG card, speaks impeccable Spanish…” Tommy told The New Yorker when speaking about Victoria in 2006. “When she was a baby, I told Leticia, her nurse, to speak to her in Spanish.”
Victoria occasionally accompanied her father to red carpet events. Photos from 2017 show her attending the premiere for Tommy’s film Just Getting Started.
