Victoria Jones Inspired Dad's Film 'The Homesman'
She later appeared in "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" (2005), "The Homesman" (2014), and had a brief role on "One Tree Hill" before retiring from acting in 2014.
Despite her relatively short career, Victoria left a lasting impression on her father.
In a 2006 interview with The New Yorker, Tommy Lee Jones praised her skills: "She's a good actress, has her SAG card, speaks impeccable Spanish. When she was a baby, I told Leticia, her nurse, to speak to her in Spanish."
According to E! News, Victoria also inspired her father's work behind the camera. Tommy Lee cited her influence in shaping the story for "The Homesman," a Western he directed and starred in, which explored the challenges women faced in the 1800s.
"My grandmother, my mother, my wife, and my daughter are all women," he told Interview magazine in 2014. "A lot of my dear friends, yourself included, are women. I am just interested in how they feel, and what's wrong."
News of Victoria's death initially broke on January 1 when the San Francisco Fire Department confirmed responding to a medical emergency.
Sources later identified her and obtained 911 footage detailing the incident, describing it as a "code 3 for the overdose, color change."
Victoria is survived by her parents, Tommy Lee Jones and Kimberlea Cloughley, and her older brother, Austin Jones, 43. The family has asked for privacy during this painful time.
