"I
think when you're doing a lead role, If you fail
everybody else fails, too." |

She
was born in 1982 to Jean Sobieski, a French painter and
writer, and Elizabeth, a writer as well. Jean is somewhere
in the line to the throne of the Polish crown, but he
does not use his title. I guess unlike other royalty,
he's quite humble.
She was discovered by an agent while eating at her school
cafeteria in New York City. The agent had heard about
a part in the then-upcoming Brad Pitt/Tom Cruise "Interview
With a Vampire," and thought that Leelee would be
perfect for the role. He got Leelee to audition, but she
didn't get the part; it instead went to Kirsten Dunst.
Her biggest
role came with "Deep Impact," the film that
costarred Tea Leoni, and made a huge dent in the box
office. The publicity from that film brought her many
other roles, including "Joan of Arc," but
the film was lost in the midst of the seemingly large
increase in the number of Joan of Arc films. Milla Jovovich
starred in "The Messenger,' also based on Joan
of Arc as well. The film did give Leelee an Emmy nomination.

She
also nailed down a highly coveted role in "Eyes Wide
Shut," the then incredibly anticipated Stanley Kubrick
film, as well as roles in the Drew Barrymore vehicle "Never
Been Kissed," "The Glass House," and the
teen film "Here On Earth," costarring Josh Hartnett
and Chris Klein.
Off the screen,
Leelee is quite a well-rounded young lady. She enjoys
painting and ceramics, is a writer and reader of poetry.
She also is an active girl, an expert in martial arts
and an avid horse rider. She shares her home in New
York with Picasso, a "bright yellow Indian Ringneck
parakeet." And, to top it all off, she speaks fluent
French.
