Veteran Actor's Daughter Found Dead in San Francisco Hotel
Tragedy struck on New Year's Day in San Francisco when 34-year-old Victoria Jones, daughter of Oscar-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones, was found dead in a hotel corridor. According to TMZ and the San Francisco fire department, paramedics were called to the Fairmont hotel at 2:52 am after a fellow guest alerted staff about a person unresponsive.
Details surrounding Jones' death are still unclear, with the cause of death yet to be determined by authorities. The local police department and medical examiner's office took over the investigation once firefighters responded to the scene.
Victoria, who was in her mid-30s, was an aspiring actress who had appeared alongside her father in several films and TV shows, including Men in Black II and One Tree Hill. She had also been spotted on the red carpet with her parents, including a notable appearance at the Tokyo film festival in 2018.
As reported by The Daily Mail, Jones' brother, Austin, who is 43 years old, has kept a relatively low profile compared to his famous father. Tommy Lee Jones, 79, is known for his iconic roles in films like The Fugitive and No Country for Old Men.
In an earlier interview with The New Yorker, Tommy Lee Jones shared some fond memories of Victoria's early acting days, including her reluctance to start work on set when she was a teenager. "She had to get up at 5 am for her part," he said. "One morning, she wouldn't get out of bed... I fired her."

...can u imagine lovin ur dad who's a superstar & then losin him like that? 
, firin ur own daughter from actin class cuz she didn't wanna get up at 5am lol... gotta love the honesty tho 
was it an accident or somethin more? u think anyone suspects somethin? 
. poor victoria, just trying to make it in the industry and ends up getting taken down by life. i mean, 34 is pretty young to be gone 
. you'd think with a famous dad like tommy lee jones, she'd have better luck 
. but hey, at least her old man can brag about firing his own kid off set 
. seriously though, my condolences to the family and friends of victoria. may she finally get the respect she deserved in life 
. anyway, this whole thing just feels really eerie and i'm not sure if there's anything we can do to help the jones family at this point 
.
