Fox spent her early years living with her grandfather.[4] At the age of six, she moved to New York City with her father and lived in Yorkville, Manhattan.[5] She worked several service jobs, including at a shoe store, an ice cream shop, and a pastry shop.[4] Fox attended City-As-School High School and worked as a dominatrix for six months.[4][6]
Prior to her role in Uncut Gems, Fox was a clothing designer and launched a successful women's knitwear line, Franziska Fox, with her friend Briana Andalore.[4][6] She also worked as a model, posing for Playboy in 2015, and as an exhibiting painter and photographer.[1] She self-published two books of photography, Symptomatic of a Relationship Gone Sour: Heartburn/Nausea, published in 2015, and PTSD, published in 2016.[4][1] In 2017, Fox hosted an art exhibit titled "R.I.P.

Fox made her feature film debut in the 2019 Safdie brothers film Uncut Gems, playing a showroom saleswoman and mistress of the film's protagonist Howard Ratner (played by Adam Sandler), an erratic jewelry dealer and gambling addict.[1] Fox had known the Safdie brothers for almost a decade after meeting Josh Safdie through a chance encounter at a cafe in SoHo, Manhattan.[1][2]
