Early Life
Justine Tanya Bateman was born on February 19th of 1966 in Rye, New York. She was raised alongside her younger brother Jason Bateman, who later went on to become a well-known actor as well. Her father is a known movie producer and director named Kent Batement, while her mother Victoria Elizabeth is a former Pan Am flight attendant who is from the UK.
Justine became involved in acting at a young age. By the time she was ready to attend college, she was already committed to a strict schedule on the set of "Family Ties." In the end, this prevented her from attending college, as Paramount Studios informed her that it would be impossible due to the conditions of her contract.
