Lewis was born in Los Angeles, California. Her father is actor Geoffrey Lewis and her mother, Glenis Batley (nee Duggan), is a graphic designer; her parents divorced when she was two years old. She has a brother, Lightfield.
Her uncle is the late composer, Peter Tod Lewis. She wanted to act since she was six years old, and got her start in TV at the age of twelve. Lewis dropped out of high school at age fifteen, just three weeks after starting to experiment with alcohol and drugs. At the same time, she bought a Mazda even though she didn't have a license and, to get around child-labor laws and work as an actress more than a few hours a day, she sued her parents for her legal emancipation. When she won, she promptly moved in with family friend Karen Black.
