Early life
Bijou Phillips was born in Greenwich, Fairfield County, Connecticut, and is the daughter of John Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas and his then-wife Geneviève Waïte, a South African model. The youngest of Phillips' children, she has one brother—Tamerlane—and three half-siblings—Mackenzie, Jeffrey, and Chynna.
Phillips began modeling at the age of thirteen, appearing on the covers of Interview and Vogue Italia and in one of Calvin Klein's more controversial ad campaigns. Emancipated from her parents at fourteen,[citation needed] Phillips lived on her own in New York City. That same year, Phillips attended the Sierra Tucson rehab center in Arizona—not because she was actually addicted to drugs, she claims, but to get out of trouble for running up a large credit card bill in her father's name.
