Leelee sobieski

Her real name is Liliane Rudabet Gloria Eisveta Sobieski, although for totally understandable practical reasons, and memory problems, her friends simply call her Leelee. The secret to the success of this girl who physically resembles Helen Hunt and Barbra Streisandit lies in his style, which clearly stems from his exquisite upbringing. He was born into a family of artists, since his mother is a writer and his father a French painter, who descends from John III Sobieski, king of Poland in the seventeenth century, famous for his victories over the empire. Ottoman. Still, Ella Leelee confesses that she has no idea of ​​speaking Polish. In kindergarten she was already reciting Shakespeare, and at the age when other children went to the circus, she went to the theater and art galleries every week, and chatted with friends of her parents such as Salman Rushdie and Norman Mailer . 

Her acting career began at the age of 11 in the school cafeteria, where a casting director noticed her and proposed that she audition for Interview with the Vampire . Finally, Neil Jordan left her in the lurch and opted for Kirsten Dunst , but she had already been dazzled by the spotlight, and with determination she got small roles in television productions and in From Jungle to Jungle , the American version of An Indian in Paris . She became famous very quickly paired with the hobbit Elijah Wood in Deep Impact, which became one of the “blockbusters” of 1998. As if this were not enough, she was nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her portrayal of the protagonist in Joan of Arc , a television production with which she overshadowed the very Mile Jovovich , who at that time embodied the maiden of Orleans in theaters. After James Ivory ‘s A Soldier’s Daughter Never Cries , her talent was impressed by the wide-eyed Stanley Kubrick , who hand-picked her to play the teenager in Eyes Wide Shut because “the others didn’t think or know what they were saying. ”, declared the filmmaker. Usually, the person in charge of 2001it aroused passions and hatred among its actors, but in this case the two developed a great friendship. Even the actress dared to ask the director for a lock of her hair for her collection, while Tom Cruise refused to collaborate in such an unusual proposal of hers. Needless to say, Leelee was completely broken by the sudden death of the one-of-a-kind director.

Although Kubrick’s posthumous film was not the success that was expected, Leelee’s career continued to rise, so much so that she led the cast of productions destined for mass consumption such as Here on Earth and Last Suspicion . She at the same time was involved in quality titles like Raising J. While other boys suddenly launched to stardom were spoiled, her parents ensured that this did not happen. They even accompanied her to the disco, although she is not too interested in rushing her relationship with the boys.

Among his upcoming films, Max stands out , where John Cusack plays an art teacher who develops a close relationship with one of his students, whose name is Adolf Hitler. Also pending L’idole , his French film debut, is about to shoot Nailed Right In , with Johnny Depp , his childhood idol, and a television version of the novel “Dangerous Liaisons.” Meanwhile, Spanish viewers can enjoy their latest video release: Never play with strangers . Although the presence of Leelee Sobieski is less than on other occasions, and she clearly gives the leading role to others, as she did in Never Have They Kissed Me, she feels very comfortable as a secondary. “I think that when you play the main role you are under too much pressure. If you fail, not only do you fail, but you ruin everything. However, when you are secondary, you only fail yourself”, explains the actress.
