'Camping' star Juliette Lewis explains why Jandice constantly seeks Kathryn's approval and similarly 'tries to fix other people'

Although she has set out to play the character who is nothing less than trouble, Juliette Lewis explains why she's quite different from her on-screen 'wild child' role.
PUBLISHED OCT 22, 2018

'Camping' star Juliette Lewis is playing the role of a character who is completely insubordinate, but in reality, Lewis is nothing like her character. The 45-year-old plays the role of the flower child, Jandice, who is an absolute opposite to the uptight, obsessively controlling, Kathryn, played by Jennifer Garner. Jandice, in fact, acts as a foil to Kathryn as the two characters are constantly in a feud of ideologies where Kathryn's grip on the entire group seems to stumble due to Jandice's presence. 

As a character, Jandice is a free-spirited woman who lives life to the lees and doesn't mind running naked into the lake for a swim. However, much of it was pretty toned down while working with creators Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner. Speaking with AV/TV Club, Lewis stated, "That was actually Jenni's direction in the first two episodes. She helped me a lot. And she would push me as you can just do it. She would push me, you know where I would...just because I root into honesty and you know people are capable of all kinds of bizarre behavior and you pull from all those kinds of truths and unlike what people might think, I don't like to make people uncomfortable in group settings."
