Early life and education[]

Fox was born in Milan, Italy, to an Italian mother and an American father. Fox spent her early years living with her grandfather.[5] At the age of six, she moved to New York City with her father and lived in Yorkville, Manhattan.[6][7] She worked several service jobs, including at a shoe store, an ice cream shop, and a pastry shop.[5] Fox attended City-As-School High School and worked as a dominatrix for six months.[5][8]

Prior to her role in Uncut Gems, Fox was a clothing designer and launched a successful women's knitwear line, Franziska Fox, with her friend Briana Andalore.[5][8] She also worked as a model, posing for the last nude edition of Playboy in 2015,[9] and as an exhibiting painter and photographer.[10] She self-published two books of photography, Symptomatic of a Relationship Gone Sour: Heartburn/Nausea, published in 2015, and PTSD, published in 2016.[5][10] In 2017, Fox hosted an art exhibit titled "R.I.P. Julia Fox'", which featured silk canvases painted with her own blood.[11]

Fox made her feature film debut in the 2019 Safdie brothers film Uncut Gems, playing a showroom saleswoman and mistress of the film's protagonist Howard Ratner (played by Adam Sandler), an erratic jewelry dealer and gambling addict.[10] Fox had known the Safdie brothers for almost a decade after meeting Josh Safdie through a chance encounter at a cafe in SoHo, Manhattan.[10][11]

Fox also wrote and directed Fantasy Girls, a short film about a group of teenage girls involved in sex work living in Reno, Nevada.[12][3] She starred in Ben Hozie's PVT Chat, playing a cam girl named Scarlet. The film was released in the United States on February 5, 2021.[13][14]
