The Story of Tommy Lee Jones Firing His Daughter on Set

Following the news, fans have recalled a famous anecdote from 2006 when Tommy Lee Jones admitted to firing Victoria from his directorial debut, 'The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada'. Then only 14, Victoria refused to get out of bed for a 5 a.m. call time. "Honey, this is work," Jones told her before officially letting her go from the production.

Though the production staff eventually brought her back to set, the story highlighted Jones' no-nonsense approach to filmmaking. Victoria, who also appeared in Men in Black II, eventually stepped away from the limelight, though she occasionally accompanied her father to international film festivals as recently as 2018.
