Her powerful scenes alongside Robert De Niro in “Cape Fear” captured the quiet complexities of adolescence and earned Lewis nominations in the category of “Best Supporting Actress” at both the Academy® Awards and the Golden Globe® Awards. The auditorium sequence with De Niro remains one of cinema’s classic scenes, securing a place in movie history for its tension and menace. Whether lending dramatic authenticity or a natural comedic flair to her roles, Lewis graces the screen with remarkable range as well as an original and captivating style. Following her breakout in “Cape Fear,” Lewis has starred in a variety of blockbusters and critically acclaimed projects, “Kalifornia,” “Romeo Is Bleeding,” “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” and “Natural Born Killers”—Stone’s controversial media satire about two mass murderers who become legendary folk heroes.

These included the comedy “Whip It” directed by Drew Barrymore, “The Switch” opposite Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, and Patrick Wilson, Mark Ruffalo’s directorial debut “Sympathy for Delicious” costarring Orlando Bloom and Laura Linney, and the acclaimed indie-drama “Conviction,” which also starred Hilary Swank, Melissa Leo, and Sam Rockwell. Critics applauded Lewis’s performance in the latter with Time Magazine praising her “scene-stealing moments” as a devious ex-girlfriend, while Entertainment Weekly raved, “Juliette Lewis reminds fans why we want her to run free forever.” The San Francisco Chronicle proclaimed, “her character work should be studied in schools. Just remarkable.” Juliette was also seen in “August: Osage County,” based on the Pulitzer Prize® and Tony®-Award winning play by Tracy Letts, alongside an ensemble cast with Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, and Ewan McGregor. She stood out in the indie film “Kelly and Cal” for which her performance was met by significant praise from film critics, including the Los Angeles Times who raved that she “delivers one of her finest performances.” In addition to her film career, Lewis has continued to add roles to her growing list of acclaimed television and series credits with Indiewire going as far as to christen 2022 “the year of Juliette Lewis.” She starred as “Natalie” in Showtime’s acclaimed hit drama “Yellowjackets” and was also seen in Peacock’s celebrated “Queer As Folk” reboot. Most recently, Juliette received an EMMY nomination for “Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie” for her work as “Denise” in Hulu’s “Welcome to Chippendales.” Lewis’s other television and series credits span her role in Mark Ruffalo’s EMMY® Award-winning HBO limited series “I Know This Much is True” as well as co-starring with Jennifer Garner in HBO’s comedy “Camping,” as well as a starring role in the Mira Nair-directed HBO film “Hysterical Blindness,” which earned her an EMMY nomination for “Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or a Movie.” She secured a Daytime EMMY nomination for her role in Showtime’s “My Louisiana Sky.” Lewis has also appeared as the face of several noteworthy brands such as Acne, BMW, Miu Miu, Rimowa, Warby Parker and more.

Richard O’Brien

Book, Music, & Lyrics

RICHARD O’BRIEN (Book, Music, & Lyrics). Richard O’Brien, who was born in 1942, began his life in the world of entertainment in 1965 when, at the age of 23, he rode horses in British-made movies. He had no desire to become a full-time stuntman and, wisely, took himself off to an evening drama school, which claimed to adhere to the teaching principles of Stanislavski, Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler and anyone else that had decided to embrace the more ‘naturalistic’ approach to acting, commonly known as the Method. In 1967, Richard became an ASM and understudy in a musical touring version of The Barretts of Wimpole Street, retitled as Robert and Elizabeth. He worked backstage in many West End theatres, most notably the Cambridge Theatre at Seven Dials, where, among other duties, he shone a limelight upon John Hanson who, at the age of 46, may well have been the oldest Student Prince that the world had ever laid eyes upon. In 1969, Richard joined an ensemble group in a joyous production of Gulliver’s Travels at the Mermaid Theatre. This show was designed and directed by Sean Kenny. The choreographer was a young Japanese Canadian called David Toguri and, the following year, Richard auditioned for him once again and joined the cast of the British touring production of the American ‘hippie’ musical Hair. After Hair came Jesus Christ Superstar, which was directed by Jim Sharman. The following year, 1973, Jim cast Richard in a Sam Shepard play at the Royal Court Theatre’s Theatre Upstairs. It was here that he met Richard Hartley, his music partner of 40 years. The Rocky Horror Show opened in June of the same year and, slowly but surely, became the biggest cult musical of all time. Other highlights of Richard’s career are, of course, The Crystal Maze, a game show that warmed the autumn nights for Channel 4; the Child Catcher in the first stage production of Chitty Chitty Bang BangOliver! In a career that has spanned 50 years, Richard has acted with some of the biggest and best-known names in the industry and, lately, he has won over a new and younger crowd of fans as the voice of Lawrence Fletcher, the father of Phineas and Ferb, in the Disney cartoon series of the same name. He is 84 years of age and refuses to make eye contact with the Grim Reaper.
