Shawnee Free Jones

Shawnee Free Jones

Shawnee Free Jones (born 1975) is an actress in film and television, and advertising model. Shawnee is also the daughter of Adi Da (aka Franklin Jones, Da Free John), American spiritual teacher and proclaimed incarnation of the divine (see List of avatar claimants).

Shawnee grew up on his Fijian island spiritual retreat, Naitauba. She was one of four young women in the formal Order Hridaya Da Gurukula Brahmacharini Mandala. She first left Naitauba at age 17 then "learned how to use a telephone and doorbell", according to her online diary, making the point of what a culture shock it was coming to Los Angeles from an island devoted to spiritual retreat. Nonetheless, she overcame her culture shock, pursued a budding career as an actress, and went on to obtain parts in a number of well-known films, including "L.A. Confidential".
