Leelee Sobieski was born in New York City on June 10, 1983. Her mother was a film producer and screenwriter, while her father was a French painter and former actor. Sobieski grew up dividing her time between Manhattan and the south of France.
As a child, she took flamenco lessons and rode horses. She was discovered by a casting agent at the age of 11 in her school's cafeteria, which led to her first audition for a role in the movie "Interview with the Vampire." Though the part ultimately went to another actress, this marked the beginning of her acting career. She went on to appear in TV movies and series, and rose to fame in her mid-teens with her role in the 1998 film "Deep Impact."
