Who are Bijou Phillips parents?

Bijou Phillips is the daughter of John Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas fame and his third wife, Geneviève Waïte, a South African model, artist, and actress.

Who is John Phillips, Bijou Phillips Father?

Born as John Edmund Andrew Phillips, he was an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist.

John Phillips grew up in Alexandria, Virginia, where he was inspired by Marlon Brando to be “street tough.” From 1942 to 1946, he attended Linton Hall Military School in Bristow, Virginia.

According to his autobiography, he “hated the place,” citing “inspections,” and “beatings,” and recalls that “nuns used to watch us take showers.” He formed a musical group of teenage boys, who sang doo-wop songs.

He played basketball at George Washington High School, now George Washington Middle School in Alexandria, Virginia, where he graduated in 1953, and gained an appointment to the United States Naval Academy. However, he resigned during his first (plebe) year.

John Phillips then attended Hampden–Sydney College, a liberal arts college for men in Hampden Sydney, Virginia, dropping out in 1959.

John Phillips spent his last years in Palm Springs, California, with Farnaz Arassteh, his fourth wife. On March 18, 2001, he died of heart failure in Los Angeles at the age of 65, days after completing recording sessions for a new album.

He is interred at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Cathedral City, near Palm Springs with his third wife Geneviève Waïte.

Who is Geneviève Waïte, Bijou Phillips Mother?

Genevieve Waite was a South African actress, singer, and model. Her best-known acting role was the title character in the 1968 film Joanna.

In 1974, she recorded her only album as a singer, which was produced and written by her husband, John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas. Her singing voice has been described as “Betty Boop crossed with Billie Holiday”.

That same year, she starred in a short-lived Broadway musical, Man on the Moon, which she co-wrote with John Phillips; it was produced by Andy Warhol.

Who is Bijou Phillips ?

Bijou Phillips was born on April 1, 1980, and is the youngest of her parents’ kids. She has one brother, Tamerlane, and three half-siblings Mackenzie, Jeffrey, and Chynna.

Bijou Phillips was 13 years old, when her half-sister Mackenzie made a sad revelation to her about her (Mackenzie’s) ten-year incestuous relationship with their father, and the information had a devastating effect on Bijou’s teenage years, stripping her of her innocence and leaving her “wary of her father.”

After signing a record deal at age 17, Phillips began working on her debut album I’d Rather Eat Glass, produced by Jerry Harrison. It was released on May 11, 1999, by Almo Sounds, and remains her only full-length music release to date.

The album’s title refers to her past as a fashion model, saying she would “rather eat glass” than go back to modeling. Phillips collaborated with a number of artists when writing songs for the album, including Eric Bazilian, Greg Wells, Dave Bassett, Howard Jones and Jill Cunniff.

Upon its release, I’d Rather Eat Glass received mixed reviews from music critics, mostly criticising the work for being immature, but her musical style has been positively compared to Natalie Imbruglia or Kay Hanley of Letters to Cleo.
