Leelee Sobieski
New York-native actress, born June 10, 1983, best known for such movies as Never Been Kissed, Eyes Wide Shut, Joy Ride, The Glass House, and Public Enemies. She is currently[when?] starring on NYC 22 as a rookie cop.
Leelee Sobieski provides examples of the following tropes:
- Blue Eyes
- Cleopatra Nose
- Dawson Casting: Inverted; due to her height, when she was younger, she was able to play older characters, like on News Radio when she was 14, playing a girl taking her SATs (and not taking them seriously, indicating she wasn't just some young prodigy).
- Famous Ancestor: She claims to be a descendent of King John III Sobieski of Poland.
- Identical Stranger: Known for bearing a striking resemblance to Helen Hunt, in both looks and voice.
- One-Woman Song: "Why Leelee Won't Love Me" by Primitive Whore.
- Overly Long Name: Her full name is Liliane Rudabet Gloria Elsveta Sobieski.
- Star-Derailing Role: Fresh off momentum from Never Been Kissed and Eyes Wide Shut as the next It Girl, The Glass House was her first headlining role. A critical flop (holding 20% at Rotten Tomatoes) and, worse, commercial failure ($18m domestic total, though opening the week after 9/11 did not help) ended that route real quick, and she's been practically invisible since.
