Bijou Lilly Phillips (born April 1, 1980) is an American actress, model, socialite and singer. The daughter of musician John Phillips, she began her career as a model but soon began acting and singing. When she was 13, she became one of the youngest person to appear on the cover of Italian Vogue. Bijou also appeared in several ads for Calvin Klein. She made her musical debut with her album I'd Rather Eat Glass in 1999. She has appeared in films such as Black and White (1999), Almost Famous (2000), Bully (2001), Octane (2003), The Door in the Floor (2004), Venom (2005), Hostel: Part II (2007), and Choke (2008). From 2010 to 2013 she played the recurring role of Lucy Carlyle on the television series Raising Hope.
Named after the song "My Petite Bijou" by Lambert, Hendricks & Ross (bijou means 'jewel' in French), Phillips was born in Greenwich, Fairfield County, Connecticut, and is the daughter of John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas, and his then-wife, Geneviève Waïte, a South African model, artist, and actress. The youngest of John Phillips's children, she has one brother, Tamerlane, and three half-siblings: Mackenzie, Jeffrey, and Chynna. At 14, she quit school and moved into her own apartment with a housekeeper, just off Fifth Avenue. She used to party, drink and take drugs, explaining in 2002, "If you were 14 years old and able to live on your own in an apartment in New York City, and you got invited to all these clubs, and you got a bank account and you had a car service you could call so that you could go wherever you wanted... what would happen?"
