Liliane Rudabet Gloria Elsveta Sobieski was born in New
York on June 10, 1983. She caught the attention of a casting agent who noticed
her while he was scouting the cafeteria of a New York City private school. The
man asked her to audition for a role in Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire
Chronicles (1994). She ended up losing the role to Kirsten Dunst, but that
didn't stop her. At age 13 she co-starred in the TV movie Reunion (1994) (TV)
with Marlo Thomas and a year later starred in A Horse for Danny (1995) (TV).
Although she had roles in many films, it was in 1998 that she hit the big time,
starring opposite Elijah Wood in Deep Impact (1998). The film, which was one of
the summer's biggest hits, garnered Leelee great reviews and brought her to the
attention of many casting directors. Next up was Joan of Arc (1999) (TV), which
she shot in the Czech Republic and for which she received an Emmy nomination.
While working on Joan of Arc (1999) (TV), she was also shooting a film with Tom
Cruise, Eyes Wide Shut (1999). The film, shot under strict secrecy by the
notoriously reclusive Stanley Kubrick, had Leelee cast as a teenage nymphet who
tempts Cruise's character. It didn't turn out to be quite the summer blockbuster
expected but, again, Leelee got some good reviews. While shooting the film she
developed a friendship with Stanley Kubrick and was heartbroken when he died
soon after its completion.
