Leelee
Sobieski
Leelee
Sobieski is the animal-loving daughter of Jean Sobieski,
a French painter and writer. Leelee, 17, currently lives between
New York and Los Angeles, along with her parents and younger brother.
She attends school full-time when not acting, and also enjoys painting,
ceramics, poetry, martial arts, and horseback riding. She has a
pet bird named Picasso, a "bright yellow Indian Ringneck parakeet".
She first acted in a play at her school in Miami, Florida, and was
discovered by a casting director in her New York City school cafeteria.
The director suggested she try acting, and shortly thereafter she
landed starring roles in the telefilms "Reunion" (with
Marlo Thomas and Peter Strauss) and "A Horse For Danny"
(with Robert Urich). She then portrayed Mark Harmon's daughter,
Jenny Grace, on the series "Charlie Grace," and landed
guest lead roles on "FX," "Grace Under Fire"
and "The Home Court."
Leelee Sobieski feature film debut was the Tim
Allen-Disney movie "Jungle 2 Jungle," wherein she played
Martin Short's daughter, Karen. Her on-screen romance in the movie
was an Amazonian tribal youth, played by her real-life friend, Sam
Huntington. Leelee's other feature film credits include "Canadian
Bacon Promo" and Stanley Kubrick's upcoming (and highly anticipated)
"Eyes Wide Shut." She spent last winter in London filming
this movie, in which she will star alongside Tom Cruise and Nicole
Kidman.
Leelee Sobieski mastery over the French language
was necessary for the upcoming Merchant-Ivory production, "A
Soldier's Daughter Never Cries." Shot on location in Paris
and scheduled for release later this year, the movie stars Leelee
as the central character, Channe, alongside Kris Kristofferson and
Barbara Hershey.
The new Dreamworks film, Deep Impact, was released on May 8, 1998.
In this blockbuster-event, Leelee Sobieski plays
the part of Sarah Hotchner. She, along with her on-screen boyfriend
(portrayed by the talented young Elijah Wood), must make mature,
profound choices in the face of a world shaking calamity.
Using her acting gift as a base, Leelee Sobieski
aspires to one day direct movies of her own.
