Tommy Lee Jones’ daughter Victoria found dead in San Francisco hotel
Victoria Jones, daughter of award-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones, was found dead in the hallway of a San Francisco hotel. She was 34 years old.
Tommy Lee Jones’ petition two years ago to place his daughter Victoria Jones into court-ordered conservatorship has received new attention after she was found dead on January 1st.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported on January 2 that records in California’s Marin County Superior Court show that the 79-year-old “Fugitive” actor successfully petitioned to be appointed a conservator to oversee his daughter.
Tommy Lee Jones’ petition, filed on Aug. 7, 2023, was approved later that month, according to court records reviewed by USA TODAY on Jan. 14. On December 13, 2023, Jones filed a petition to terminate her temporary conservatorship. A few days later, the petition was granted.
In a general conservatorship, a court can appoint a guardian for a person deemed unable to care for his or her own needs. Their “conservator has all powers and responsibilities, except those determined to be unnecessary,” according to the California courts’ website.
Victoria Jones’ attorney in the guardianship case declined to comment to USA TODAY. USA TODAY has reached out to Tommy Lee’s representatives for comment.
Victoria Jones, 34, was found in the hallway of a San Francisco hotel in the early hours of January 1st. Paramedics arrived just before 3 a.m. and pronounced her dead, the San Francisco Fire Department told USA TODAY on Jan. 2.
Victoria Jones, the youngest child of Tommy Lee Jones and ex-wife Kimberly Crawley, followed in her father’s footsteps early in life. Her first film credit was in the 2002 sequel to her father, Men in Black II, in which she played a child whose memories were erased.
She also returned to the big screen in a small, non-voice role in the 2005 western film The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, directed by and starring Tommy Lee Jones. Other credits include an episode of the teen drama One Tree Hill and the 2005 thriller film Sorry, Asshole.
