John Phoenix was born June 14th, 1947 in Fontana, California. After leaving high school he became gardener and sometimes he worked as carpenter. He met his second wife Arlyn Sharon Dunetz (Heart Phoenix) while she was hitch-hiking. They married in 1969. Together they spent several years touring the hippie communes of California, and in 1972 joined the Children of God, taking the Bible names Jochebed and Amram. John Bottom was later designated the cult's "Archbishop of Venezuela and the Caribbean". The whole family traveled a lot and lived in poverty. The children often sang and performed on street corners. Later, they eventually grew disillusioned with the Children of God and left in 1977. The family moved to Florida in 1978 and legally changed its name to Phoenix to commemorate their new lives and began to embrace veganism as their new diet and lifestyle.
The family moved to California, where Arlyn got a job as a secretary for NBC. She was able to hire an agent, Iris Burton, who eventually got all of her children acting work. John began to distance himself from his family´s affairs. He was unhappy with his family's involvement in the Hollywood mill. He had been living for a number of years on land the family owns in Costa Rica, where he still resides. He has there a vegan restaurant and a hotel.
John and Arlyn devorced in 1997.
