Joaquin and River Phoenix’s Siblings: A Look inside Their Talented Family
River and Joaquin Phoenix are the only sons of Arlyn Heart and John Lee Bottom, who married and later decided to change their family's last name to Phoenix.
River, Joaquin, and their three sisters started as child actors after their mother connected them to an agent in Hollywood.
The Phoenix siblings started appearing in commercials before landing roles in TV shows and films.
However, that wasn't their first brush in the performance world. Apart from their parents joining the "Children of God" cult, they spent their childhood traveling, where Arlyn and John had their children do street performances for their living.
River was a heartthrob during his short career, appearing in "Stand By Me" and "Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade" and earning himself an Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of Danny Pope in the 1988 film "Running On Empty."
