Patricia Arquette Siblings: Rosanna Arquette, David Arquette, Alexis Arquette and Richmond Arquette
Patricia, Alexis, Rosanna, David, and Richmond Arquette are siblings from the same parents.
All seven Arquette family members slept in one room, with no bathroom, running water or electricity. The idea of the lifestyle was it was a spiritual, utopian society that brought you away from the buzz of the city and closer to nature.
Patricia says the family ended up living in ‘intense poverty’ while at Skymont and became “so poor the government dropped off food for us.”
The siblings’ father had substance and alcohol issues and their mother, Brenda Denaut, physically abused them growing up.
In a joint interview with Oprah in 2011, Patricia and Rosanna opened up about their childhood. Patricia described her parents’ home as a “minefield,” where it was common to see chairs flying across the room, holes being punched in the wall, and their dad consuming marijuana and whiskey.
Their second youngest Alexis died in 2016 at the age of 47 from cardiac arrest but had been battling HIV for 29 years.
“If I could go back in time, I’d want to make sure my parents and sister knew how much I loved them,” said Patricia in 2017.
