Early life

Juvonen was born in Connecticut and raised in Mill Valley, California.[1] Of Finnish descent,[2][3] she is the daughter of aviation industry executive William H. Juvonen, a Stanford University alumnus and former Marine Aviator.[4] In September 1961, while flying a gunnery mission as a new aviator undergoing fleet replacement pilot training in VMF 334, he experienced a wing failure at the fold joint and ejected from his F-8C Crusader jet.[5] William Juvonen later became an aviation executive before his death in 2018.

Juvonen graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in sociology and cooperative education.[6]

After graduating, she worked odd jobs, including at a dude ranch in Wyoming, as a private flight attendant, and for an artist who was trying to eradicate homelessness. She later became an assistant to Clarence Clemons, a member of the E Street Band.[7][8]

In 1993, Juvonen met Drew Barrymore through the former's brother Jim, a writer and producer who was working on the set of Mad Love. The two subsequently founded Flower Films.[9]
