Biography:
Julia Fox was born on February 2, 1990, in Milan, Italy, where she spent her early years with her Italian mother and American father. At just six years old, Julia moved to New York City with her dad, settling down in Yorkville, Manhattan. As a young adult, she juggled multiple jobs to make ends meet, including working at a shoe store, an ice cream shop, and a pastry shop.
Julia Fox attended City-As-School High School but her path took an unexpected turn when she worked as a dominatrix for six months before finding her calling in the world of fashion. Together with her friend Briana Andalore, she launched Franziska Fox, a successful women's knitwear line that showcased her entrepreneurial spirit and creative flair.
Fox has also showcased her artistic talent as a model, posing for the last nude edition of Playboy in 2015. Her passion for visual arts led her to self-publish two books of photography and host an art exhibit titled "R.I.P. Julia Fox" that featured silk canvases painted with her own blood - an unforgettable display of both bravery and artistic expression.
It was in 2019, however, when Julia Fox made a name for herself on the big screen with her debut performance in the Safdie brothers' film Uncut Gems. Playing a showroom saleswoman and mistress to Howard Ratner (played by Adam Sandler), Fox captivated audiences with her raw talent and charisma. The actress had developed a friendship with Josh Safdie almost a decade prior, meeting him through a chance encounter at a café in SoHo, Manhattan.
Fox's acting career continued to flourish as she took on roles in various projects. She wrote, directed, and starred in Fantasy Girls, a short film exploring the lives of teenage girls involved in sex work in Reno, Nevada. In Ben Hozie's PVT Chat, Fox played Scarlet, a cam girl navigating the complex world of online intimacy.
Fox also found herself working alongside Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh in his period crime thriller No Sudden Move. Filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic, Fox played Vanessa Capelli with determination and poise.
In her personal life, Julia Fox married Peter Artemiev, a private pilot from Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, in November 2018. They reside together in their old neighborhood of Yorkville, Manhattan, where they started their journey years ago. On Valentine's Day in 2021, the couple welcomed their first child into the world, further enriching the story of this versatile and captivating artist.
