An attractive blonde teen player of TV and film who bears a passing resemblance to Helen Hunt, Leelee Sobieski achieved her big screen breakthrough in 1998 as Elijah Wood's young bride in the disaster-themed hit "Deep Impact" and as the daughter of an expatriate family in the Merchant-Ivory production "A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries". The latter in particular offered the young actress a meaty role as she took her character from puberty through adolescence and the scenes she shared with her onscreen father (Kris Kristofferson), who offered guidance without judgment, were quite moving. Sobieski demonstrated a maturity beyond her years that ranked with other former child players like Hunt and Jodie Foster.

The daughter of artist and a novelist, she was christened Liliane which was shortened to Leelee. Raised on a ranch in the Carmarque region of France and in Manhattan, Sobieski was spotted by a casting director who was visiting her school and was cast as Marlo Thomas' daughter in the 1994 CBS TV-movie "Reunion". She then played the daughter of a detective (Mark Harmon) in "Charlie Grace" (ABC, 1995) and made guest appearances on such sitcoms as "Grace Under Fire" and "The Home Court". Sobieski moved to features as Martin Short's daughter in Disney's "Jungle2Jungle" (1997) before landing her star-making roles. Director Stanley Kubrick also tapped the rising starlet for a supporting role in his much-anticipated "Eyes Wide Shut" (1999). The actress also earned critical plaudits and a Best Actress Emmy nomination for her strong portrayal of "Joan of Arc" in the 1999 CBS miniseries.
