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. |
