Part of the acting family that also includes River, Joaquin, Liberty, and Summer, Rain Phoenix has pursued a varied career as both an actor and a musician. Born in Crocket, TX, on March 31, 1973, she began performing at the age of three, when she and her older brother, River, sang and played the guitar for money on the streets.
Phoenix got her professional acting start in gigs on such TV shows as Family Ties and Amazing Stories, and in 1987 made her film debut in the Ally Sheedy comedy Maid to Order. Around this time Phoenix and River formed the band Aleka's Attic and continued to perform together until the latter's untimely death in 1993.
