Lilith Fair: Artists: Bijou Phillips (552 words)
The life of the 18-year-old daughter of John Phillips (The Mamas and the Papas), ex-supermodel, and former New York club kid has already been well documented-both in her father's autobiography Papa John, and of course in the tabloids.
At various times, Bijou has been described as "riotous," "wild," and "out of control" and while all of those descriptions may be partially true, there is a sensitive, serious side to Bijou.
Bijou's modeling career has landed her on the covers of Interview and Italian Vogue and she recently acted in James Tobak's (Two Girls & a Guy) upcoming film Black & White with Robert Downey Jr.
