Who is Avri Roel Downey?

Avri Roel Downey was born on 4 November 2014, in Los Angeles, California, USA, and is only known for being the daughter of actor Robert Downey Jr. She is his second child from his marriage to producer Susan Levin Downey. Her father is considered an icon in Hollywood, recently known for his work in depicting Tony Stark aka Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise.

The Net Worth of Avri Roel Downey

Avri Roel Downey’s net worth is minimal, at the age of five based on the success of her parents. As she is still young, she still benefits from her father who has a net worth estimated to be over $300 million, while her mother’s a net worth is estimated to be over $20 million, as of early 2020.

 

Early Life and Origins

There was a lot of media coverage following the birth of Avri Roel, the second child of one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood. Her father has been noted for his exceptional acting ability over four decades worth of work. He’s also known for his eccentricities and laid back demeanor outside of acting.

Both of her names are of French origin though there is a deeper meaning to her second name – Avri means power or king in French, while Roel means rock. However, the word Roel is actually partly in honor of his grandparents, taken from Robert Downey Sr. and his wife Rosemary.

It is also an honor to her grandmother from her mother’s side, Rosie. The second syllable of her second name – El – is to honor her grandfather, Eliot Levin. Over the next few years, she would grow up alongside her older brother Exton Elias Downey. She also has a half-brother, Indio Falconer Downey, from her father’s previous marriage to Deborah Falconer.

Mother – Susan Levin Downey

After completing a degree in Cinematic Arts as summa cum laude from the University of Southern California (USC). Susan began a career in cinema, overseeing the development and production of the “Mortal Kombat” films as a part of Threshold Entertainment.

She then moved to Silver Pictures, working as their executive vice-president of production and co-President of Dark Castle Entertainment. Some of the projects she worked on during this period include “Thir13en Ghosts”, “Swordfish”, “Orphan”, and “The Book of Eli”.

In 2009, she helped in the creation of the “Sherlock Holmes” film, starring her husband. The film was a commercial success, setting a record at the box office and gaining numerous positive reviews, leading her husband to his third Golden Globe Award – he credited her in a satirical and comedic manner during his acceptance speech.

After leaving Silver Pictures, she continued to work with her husband in films such as “Iron Man 2” and “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows”. In 2010, the couple formed Team Downey, responsible for the 2014 film “The Judge”. They also have a lot of projects slated for production, including the story of the USS Indianapolis, an adaptation of “Emergency! This Book Will Save Your Life”, and the Steve McQueen project “Yucatan”.

Father – Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr. started his acting career thanks to his father, appearing in his film “Pound” in 1970.

Robert Downey Jr.

Over the next few years, he started to gain recognition through several teen films, working with the Brat Pack comprising actors such as Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson and Molly Ringwald. In 1992, he gained international acclaim for his Academy Award-nominated performance in the film “Chaplin”, in which he portrayed the titular comedian Charlie Chaplin, winning a BAFTA Award, but which was overshadowed by an addiction to drugs.

Following the revelation of his addiction, he took treatment at the Corcoran Substance Abuse Treatment Facility, but after his return he continued his momentum, appearing in the television series “Ally McBeal”, and winning a Golden Globe Award in the process.

However, the drug problem still existed, and after two more charges he was removed from the show, and his character was written off. He underwent a treatment program and laid low for the next couple of years.

Robert Downey Jr.’s Career Resurgence

A lot of companies shied away from Downey after his return, due to his prior drug problems, but Mel Gibson gave him work with “The Singing Detective”. A few years later, he began taking film projects consistently, earning a lot of attention for his work in “Zodiac” and “Tropic Thunder”. In 2008, he was cast as the comic book character Iron Man in the film of the same name, a role which he would carry for 11 years until “Avengers: Endgame”.

He has gained widespread acclaim and recognition for his role, appearing as the character in 10 films. Downey has been praised for his ability to push through the struggle of substance abuse and make his way back to the top of the acting industry during his middle age. “Time” magazine named him as one of the most influential people in the world; he was also Hollywood’s highest-paid actor from 2013 to 2015, according to “Forbes”.

Parents Relationship and Recent Endeavors

Downey had two failed relationships in the past, broken due to his substance abuse.

The first was with actress Sarah Jessica Parker and the second to actress Deborah Falconer, to whom he was married to for 12 years. As he was finalizing his divorce from Falconer, he met Susan on the set of the Silver Pictures-produced the film “Gothika”, and was immediately attracted to her while they were working together, and approached her twice, being rejected both times.

This didn’t stop him, however, and the two quietly started a romance while producing the film.

Susan had concerns, as dating an actor came with some complications, but perhaps surprisingly their relationship continued after the film, and the two were married in 2005, holding a Jewish ceremony in New York. Avri’s mother has been credited numerous times by Downey, for helping him overcome his addictions and so with his career resurgence, saying that he owes all of his success to her.

Avri Roel’s life has remained quiet since her birth – not much is going for her, as she’s still enjoying life as a child and going to school. Time will tell if she will follow the footsteps of her parents, or carve a different path.

Quotes

#Quote
1It's all about not getting your own way and that's what we try to instill in each other in ourselves with how do you become less encumber so you be in service to this fantastic medium that we get a chance in doing there's people throughout time who have been notorious and I get to be one of them to say it got in the way would be to say what I was "expressing" didn't have the validity for the suffering I chose to put myself through if it's all for nothing then it's a tragedy then if you put it down and move on its a way to demonstrate that when something occurs there's really nothing that anybody can do but survive as long as they survive
2[his experience working on One Night Stand (1997)] I'm really struggling with something right now and it was kind of cathartic to play that part in the film because it was someone who's own proclivities and own sexual promiscuity and own desire to "eat life live fast" was the reason he wasn't going to be there for his friend when he might have enjoyed him most
3[his acceptance speech for the American Cinematheque Award] I asked Mel (Gibson) to present this award for me for a reason. When I couldn’t get sober, he told me not to give up hope and encouraged me to find my faith. It didn’t have to be his or anyone else’s as long as it was rooted in forgiveness. And I couldn’t get hired, so he cast me in the lead of a movie that was actually developed for him. He kept a roof over my head and food on the table and most importantly he said if I accepted responsibility for my wrongdoing and embraced that part of my soul that was ugly – hugging the cactus he calls it – he said that if I hugged the cactus long enough, I’d become a man. I did and it worked. All he asked in return was that someday I help the next guy in some small way. It’s reasonable to assume at the time he didn’t imagine the next guy would be him or that someday was tonight. So anyway on this special occasion and in light of the recent holidays including Columbus Day, I would ask that you join me, unless you are completely without sin in which case you picked the wrong fucking industry, in forgiving my friend his trespasses and offering him the same clean slate you have me, allowing him to continue his great and ongoing contribution to our collective art without shame. He’s hugged the cactus long enough.
4I don't drink these days. I am allergic to alcohol and narcotics. I break out in handcuffs.
5My intent is to dominate the playing field for as long as I can, with my own challenges, with myself.
6It's hard for me to watch Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) and not get nostalgic about it. It's not perfect but in some ways, I think it's the best thing I've ever done. I don't know why.
7Nobody has cornered Halloween as a market since Halloween (1978).
8[on the Oscars ceremony] It is amazing to see how people are literally hyperventilating when they get up there, because they have such an attachment to this outcome.
9[on never winning an Oscar] I know it's going to happen. That's just a fact... because it just doesn't make sense. That's why I don't mind showing up and watching everybody else get them... Look, even if I don't get one directly, eventually they're just going to have to give me one when I get old. So no matter how you slice it, I'm getting one... I should probably have more, but zero's fine.
10[2010] I find myself fascinated with shows like Bad Girls (1999) and Jerseylicious (2010), and also Inside American Jail (2007) and Lockup (2005). The best one's in the U.K.; I watch it when I'm over there doing Sherlock. It's called Locked Up Abroad (2007), which means "locked up". "Locked Up Abroad" is always fun.
11[2010] I've noticed that worrying is like praying for what you don't want to happen. I don't worry, but I observe where my mind tends to go. I have such an overwhelming sense that if you're in the right state of heart, which I have been for a little while, the next right thing appears to you.
12[2010] Discipline for me is about respect. It's not even about self-respect; it's about respect for life and all it offers. And not indulging. I have happily reconsidered my position on a bunch of things I didn't want on my "no" list despite all evidence that I couldn't handle them. At the end of the day, anything I think I'm sacrificing I'm just giving up because it makes me feel better.
13[2010, on landing Iron Man (2008)] I prepared for the screen test so feverishly that I literally made it impossible for anybody to do a better job. I had never worked on something that way before; I was so familiar with six or nine pages of dialogue, I had thought of every possible scenario. At a certain point during the screen test, I was so overwhelmed with anxiety about the opportunity that I almost passed out. I watched it later, and that moment came, fluttered and wasn't even noticeable. But to me, it was this stretched-out moment of what keeps people from doing theater for 30 years - just an unadulterated fear of failure.
14[2010, on his past problems] Sometimes it's necessary to compartmentalize the different stages of your evolution, both personally and objectively, for the people you have to love and tolerate. And one of those people, for me, is me. I have a very strong sense of that messed-up kid, that devoted theater actor, that ne'er-do-well 20-something nihilistic androgyne and that late-20s married guy with a little kid, lost, lost in narcotics-all as aspects of things I don't regret and am happy to keep a door open on. More than anything I have this sense that I'm a veteran of a war that is difficult to discuss with people who haven't been there. I feel for the kind of zeitgeist diagnoses that are being applied to certain of my peers lately, and I think it's unconscionable.
15[on Mel Gibson] He's a stand-up guy - he's always has been for me - and certainly when I was not hire-able, he put his ass on the line and said, "I'll take that chance." He will always have my friendship, and that's just talking about business and Hollywood stuff, which to me is nowhere as important as friendship.
16[on winning an Oscar] As long as I stick around I'm going to end up with a bunch of them anyway as they're going to run out of people to give them to. And I'm probably going to win it one year when someone else deserves to win it. Why? Because it's my time, goddammit. And that's the way shit works around here. I'm just an uptight mutt at the top of his game. Welcome to Hollywood, bitch! I'll see you at the Vanity Fair party and I'll be holding that golden statue you deserve 'cause guess what? It happened to me too!
17[on producer Joel Silver] Joel just kept telling me. We've got to get your gun in your hand. Joel is one of the few relationships I care to have with a producer. Look he's vast and voracious, and he definitely has the ability to break into a scream about a point he would like to make. But he can also be incredibly warm and generous.
18[on why some of his political opinions now lean more conservative then they used to] I have a really interesting political point of view, and it's not always something I say too loud at dinner tables here, but you can't go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal. You can't. I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone else, but it was very, very, very educational for me and has informed my proclivities and politics every since. ["The New York Times", 2008]
19[on his role as an Australian actor playing a black man in Tropic Thunder (2008)] I thought it was a completely incendiary idea and I blame it all on Ben Stiller and DreamWorks.
20[his Golden Globe acceptance speech for Best Actor-Comedy or Musical] If you start playing violins, I will tear this joint apart. First of all, I want to thank my wife Susan Downey for telling me Matt Damon was going to win so don't bother to prepare a speech. That was at about 10 a.m. I don't have anybody to thank. I'm sorry. Everyone's been so gratuitous, it was a collaboration, we all did this together. Certainly not going to thank Warner Brothers, Alan Horn, and my god, robbing off these guys. They needed me. Avatar (2009) was going to take us to the cleaners. If they didn't have me, we didn't have a shot buddy. What am I going to do? I'm not going to be able to thank Joel Silver. I mean the guy has only restarted my career twelve times since I began twenty-five years ago. I really don't want to thank my wife because I could be busing tables at the daily groom right now if not for her. Jesus, what a gig that would be. Guy Ritchie had a great vision for this film and a lot of great people came together and we worked our asses off. It's just a privilege. The Hollywood Foreign Press has a quote by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who was a genius by the way, and he said "Art is the blood, Is libel to take to the strongest forms." That is also why I would like to thank, or not thank, the Hollywood Foreign Press because they are a strange bunch of people and now I'm one of them. Thank you.
21What do you say, though -- if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plan.
22Mel Gibson cast me in The Singing Detective (2003), even though an insurance company wouldn't cover it because it was my first film after my release from behind bars. The best part was when Mel gave me a motorcycle while we still had two weeks left to shoot. I go,"'Are you trying to ruin this movie? What if I have an accident?" He goes, "No, no. I figure if you made it two-thirds of the way through, you can't do anything wrong."
23[on Iron Man 2 (2010)] I've never been in a sequel and it's very daunting because I feel the expectation of the millions of people who watched it and enjoyed it and told me that it was a little different than your usual genre picture and that they expected us to not screw it up. So I actually have taken Iron Man 2 (2010) probably more seriously than any movie I've ever done, which is appropriately ridiculous for Hollywood.
24[on Mickey Rourke] He's so good. And he's formidable and he's very much reminding me of that kind of charming, confident guy that we know.
25I have a sense of destiny that you are led to the things you are supposed to do.
26I don't want to go all Michael Jackson on you, but I never really had a childhood.
27[on U.S. Marshals (1998)] I thought maybe there was something I was missing, and what I really needed to do was to be in one of those films that I love taking my kid to. It would end up being really depressing. I'd rather wake up in jail for a TB test than have to wake up another morning knowing I'm going to the set of U.S. Marshals.
28[on U.S. Marshals (1998)] Possibly the worst action movie of all time, and that's just not good for the maintenance of a good spiritual condition. You've had a traumatic year, you've been practically suicidal - what do you think would be really healing for you? How about like twelve weeks of running around as Johnny Handgun? I think that if you talk to a spirit guide, they would say, "That'll kill you."
29[on Chaplin (1992)] Chaplin was the culmination of an opportunity, and the biggest humiliation I've ever experienced. It was like winning the lottery, then going to prison. I realized that nothing that had worked for me before was going to work here. I'd watch one of Charlie's films, but by the end of it I was wildly depressed, because I realized that what he'd done in this twenty-minute short was more expressive and funnier than everything I've thought about doing my whole life.
30[on Chaplin (1992)] When I accepted the part, they didn't tell me that I also had to do the acrobatic stuff of Charlie. That has cost me a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Though I now can say, 'I did all my stunts myself.' Working on Chaplin was really intensive and cost me years of my life, but if I could do it all over again, no doubt I would do it the same way.
31As soon as I started smoking heroin instead of smoking coke, everything was different, and I knew it was. And it happened around the time I was doing Home for the Holidays (1995). Home for the Holidays is, for me, one of the most relaxed performances in the history of cinema. I can't attribute that to the fact that I was at a serene place in my life, or that there was a real warm feeling on the set. This is a problem for me because I glamorize this stuff. I can't say that it wasn't real dark, real evil and real hurtful to those around me. And yet, practically every take of that film was a print. God bless Jodie Foster. When does she have time to do a handwritten letter telling someone how she genuinely cares about them? She said, "Listen, I'm not worried about you on this film. You're not losing it or nodding out, and you're giving a great performance. I'm worried about your thinking you can get away with doing this on another film."
32[on Sean Penn] In a relatively short time he was a better friend than some people I'd known for ages. I remember him saying three or four years ago, "You have two reputations. I think you know what both of them are, and I think you'd do well to get rid of one of those reputations. If you don't, it will get rid of the other one." And I was like, "Two reputations, I'll be right back." Just hearing him say that reminded me that I should go score. After that, he was like, forget it. It sucks, too, because someone as honorable as he is, I really should have responded. Jesus, I grew up idolizing this guy. Not only does he consider me a friend, but he's taking time. He's got a family. He's got a career that's going well. He's living his dreams and making time for me, and I'm like, "I can't, I just can't - sorry, busy."
33[on his childhood] I didn't want to talk about what my dad did because it wasn't like he was directing All in the Family (1971) or anything. He was doing these crazy films. Mom would pick me up at school wearing this big quilted cape. I felt like I was in a J.D. Salinger story. Dad's Jewish and Irish, Mom's German and Scotch. I couldn't say I was anything. My last name isn't even Downey. My dad changed his name when he wanted to get into the Army and was underage. My real name is Robert Elias. I feel like I'm still looking for a home in some way.
34[on Weird Science (1985)] I defecated in [Renee Props's] trailer, much to the chagrin of Bill Paxton and Robert Rusler. It was a real bad scene. Joel Silver freaked. I never admitted it. Joel said, "Downey, did you do it?" and I said I wish I had. Because I'd been threatening everyone that if they didn't treat me right, I was going to take a dump in their trailer, or that I'd go take a shit in Joel's office, on his desk or something.
35[on Restoration (1995)] I just thought [Hugh Grant] was a dick, that's all. And I still do. You know, and that could be something that has to do with me, or it could just be that not everyone in this industry is someone I'd care to hang out with.
36[on why he did Danger Zone (1996)] Five hundred grand for two weeks.
37I did Air America (1990) for two reasons: to be in a movie with Mel Gibson and to make a bunch of money. And then underneath there was the hope that in doing this formulaic thing I would be launched into a whole new realm of opportunity to do A-list movies. By the time we were done, the only positive thing was meeting Mel Gibson.
38Tofu is the root of all evil, and there's only one thing that can change a man's mind, and that's a modified Uzi with an extra-long clip.
39I had four weeks' work in Baby It's You (1983), and I told all my friends I was now, officially, a major talent and film star. And then they cut my scenes out. You don't even see me except in one scene - you see me in the background until this self-indulgent actress leans forward to try and get more camera time. They cut all my scenes out and my friends go, "Hey, Robert - maybe it's you!" Now I don't tell people that I'm in a film until I see it on videocassette.
40The great thing about Saturday Night Live (1975) was being at 30 Rockefeller Center. And having Belushi and Aykroyd's old office. And me and Michael [Anthony Michael Hall] saying, "We want bunk beds. With NFL Sheets. And we want them now." And Michael was like "Man, it's gonna be great, we're gonna be buddies, we're gonna do a show together, we're gonna ..." Then, "I'm gonna do Out of Bounds (1986)" and he left. As for me, I was doing Back to School (1986) and Saturday Night Live at the same time. So I'd fly back to Los Angeles for a couple of days during the week to shoot the movie and then fly back and, "Live from New York, it's a tired young man!"
41[on Black & White (1999)] A stage slap from Mike Tyson is like a shovel whack from a normally fortified male.
42What I usually hate about these movies when suddenly the guy that you were digging turns into Dudley Do-Right, and then you're supposed to buy into all his "Let's go do some good! That Eliot Ness-in-a-cape-type thing. What was really important to me was to not have him change so much that he's unrecognizable. When someone used to be a schmuck and they're not anymore, hopefully they still have a sense of humor. [on superhero movies]
43It was so nice to go into this fake courtroom [on Ally McBeal (1997)]. I immediately went up into the judge's chair. Nice view. A preferable perspective.
44I know very little about acting. I'm just an incredibly gifted faker.
45[on his music] I am putting together some ideas for two or three more things I want to do. Maybe a CD of just my kind of standards, which would be Supertramp and Steely Dan covers with an orchestra. I'm deep into old Genesis. I'm sorry, but these are songs that mean something to me. "Follow You Follow Me" is a song that's about something to me.
46It's a blanket statement to say, "That guy's really sharp and amicable and nice," because there's a little bit of asshole in every nice guy, and there's a little bit of genius in every moron.
47[on his addiction to drugs] It's like I have a loaded gun in my mouth, and I like the taste of metal.
48I've become a picky little bitch. I've never bothered to plan projects before. I just used to throw the script across the room and say, "Why do they keep sending me this horseshit?" And then I'd start rehearsals two weeks later.
49A lot of my peer group think I'm an eccentric bisexual, like I may even have an ammonia-filled tentacle or something somewhere on my body. That's okay.
50I'm not used to feeling like I belong where I am.
51The higher the stakes, the happier I am, the better I will be.
52I've always felt like such an outsider in this industry. Because I'm so insane, I guess.

32According to an interview he gave to Newsweek in February 2009, when Downey went to Japan for their opening of Iron Man (2008), he was detained on entry because Japanese authorities ran his passport and found it linked to some incredible criminal activity (namely Downey's multiple arrests and incarcerations on drug-related charges in the 1990s and 2000s). For failing to disclose these convictions, Downey was interrogated for six hours and was almost barred from entry into Japan. It was finally decided that he could enter Japan for the Iron Man premiere but he is never to be allowed into Japan again.

51Starred in Elton John's music video for the song "I Want Love". Downey was let out of rehab for one day in late July specifically to shoot the video (which was filmed in one long continuous take at Greystone Manor in Beverly Hills). This was Downey's first work since being fired from the television series Ally McBeal (1997) in April 2001.
52Downey enjoyed working with the director of the Elton John music video - contemporary artist Sam Taylor-Johnson - so much that he suggested that they work together again on an art piece. The result was an art video called "Pietà", made in the manner of Michelangelo's famous Pietà sculpture in Rome. It was included in Sam Taylor-Johnson's exhibition "Mute" at the White Cube 2 art gallery in London, November 23 to January 12, 2002.
53Dropped out of Santa Monica High School at age 17 and moved to New York to become an actor. First jobs in the city included bussing tables at Central Falls restaurant, working in a shoe store, and performing as "living art" at SohHo's notorious underground club Area.
54Married his first wife after dating her for only 42 days.
55At the age of 10, while living in London, Robert attended the Perry House School in Chelsea and studied classical ballet.
56As a result of his father's work (Robert Downey Sr. was (and is) an independent filmmaker), Downey the younger spent a great deal of his childhood on the move. He lived at various points in Connecticut, New York, California, London, Paris and Woodstock.
57In a symbolic attempt to bury his decadent 1980s Brat Pack image and begin a new phase of his life and career after filming Chaplin (1992) in 1991, he (literally) buried the clothes that he wore in Less Than Zero (1987) in the backyard of his house.
58Kept a great deal of the authentic vintage clothing he wore in the movie Chaplin (1992).
59His parents divorced when he was age 11.
60(July 16, 2001) Downey pleaded no contest to drug charges. The judge sentenced him to remain in rehabilitation for one year and to three years' probation.
61(May 24, 2001) Downey pleaded not guilty to the November 2000 drug charges. He is being held in a drug rehab center until his case is decided.
62(March 15, 2001) Downey's attorneys advised the judge that they could not reach a plea bargain in his November 2000 drug arrest.
63(April 24, 2001) Arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance in Los Angeles after he was found wandering in an alley. He was fired from the television series Ally McBeal (1997) by producer David E. Kelley after the arrest.
64(November 25, 2000) Downey re-arrested on drugs and weapons charges in Palm Springs, California, at the luxurious Merv Griffin resort, after an anonymous tip to police. Downey was found alone, with cocaine and methamphetamines. He cooperated with police, spent the night in jail, and was released the next morning on $15,000.00 bail. Downey had been on a career upswing with his successful stint on Ally McBeal (1997), and his upcoming stage performance as Hamlet, set for January 2001 in Los Angeles, to be directed by his friend Mel Gibson.
65Downey's lawyers petitioned the State Court of Appeals in Los Angeles, stating that Downey had already served enough time because the Malibu judge had made errors in calculating his sentence. He had not given credit for the several times Downey spent in lockdown rehab units and in pre-sentencing confinement. Downey's lawyers claimed that he should have been released in February 2000.
66(August 6, 1999) After Downey's three violations of probation for drug and alcohol abuse in a three-year span of time since he was spared a prison sentence and placed on probation, Malibu Judge Lawrence Mira stated that he was out of options. He was sentencing Downey to prison, he said, to save his life, because he would not take the responsibility of refraining from alcohol and drug use on his own. The Judge invoked the three years' sentence in state prison that had been suspended in 1996. Downey spent two weeks in a state prison reception center at Wasco, California, for orientation. On August 25, 1999, he was transferred to a Department of Corrections prison named "SATF" (Substance Abuse Treatment Facility) for drug dependent prisoners in Corcoran California. Scheduled release date: November 2, 2000. SATF is across the street from the other Corcoran Prison, where inmates were shot to death on the exercise yard during fights in the 1990s. Downey's lawyers have approached the Malibu judge several times in the last 11 months to request Downey's release, but the Judge has refused.
67Once worked as a piece of living art in a SoHo nightclub in New York City.
68He took daily drug tests during the filming of Two Girls and a Guy (1997).
69While drunk, he wandered into a neighbor's Malibu home that he thought was his own, and fell asleep in their child's bed. He was arrested for being under the influence of drugs, which was a third violation of his probation.
70His father introduced him to drugs, offering him a marijuana joint when he was age 8.
71(June 22, 1999) Sent to a rehab center at the Los Angeles County jail while waiting for an August 5 hearing.
72Attended Stagedoor Manor.

83(August 2, 2000) Released from jail on $5,000 bail.
