Actress and rock-n-roller Juliette Lewis opens up in a new interview about dating heartthrob Brad Pitt when they both were "anonymous."

"It was such a lovely time in my life -- well, in both of our lives -- because we were anonymous. We were both struggling actors and Brad blew up after we were together, when 'Legends of the Fall' came out," Lewis tells Black Book magazine.

Juliette and Brad starred in both the 1990 movie 'Too Young to Die' and the 1993 film 'Kalifornia.' "We both had our turning points -- there were six months between the release of 'Thelma & Louise' and 'Cape Fear' -- but for half of our relationship, we were just unknown young actors in L.A."

She continues, "Then we split and he became Brad Pitt, and I became whoever I am now."

Brad stars in Quentin Tarantino's film 'Inglourious Basterds,' in theaters August 21.

Juliette has a part in 'The Baster' alongside Jennifer Aniston, Brad's ex-wife.
