Who was Victoria Jones? What to know about Tommy Lee Jones’ daughter

Victoria Jones, the daughter of Academy Award-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones, was found dead in a San Francisco hotel in the early hours of New Year’s Day.

Paramedics responding to a call for a medical emergency pronounced her dead in the hallway of the Fairmont Hotel just before 3 a.m. local time, according to the San Francisco Fire Department.

A cause of death has not been disclosed. The San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirmed her identity to USA TODAY on Friday, Jan. 2.

Despite being raised by an A-lister, Jones lived a largely private life after initially pursuing acting as a child and young adult.

What were Victoria Jones’ acting roles?

Her first movie credit came in her dad’s 2002 sequel “Men in Black II,” in which she played a child whose memory was wiped.

Jones later opted for a life outside of Hollywood and no longer pursued acting gigs. Living away from the public eye, she did not participate in media interviews or maintain a public social media presence.
