- She broke onto the scene at the turn of the century with her roles in teen dramas and prestige films alike, but Leelee Sobieski hasn’t been popping up in as many roles in the last few years. Rising to fame with her role in the high school comedy Never Been Kissed and even a small-but-memorable part in Stanley Kubrick’s final film, Eyes Wide Shut, things were looking up for the young star, but her next few films were nowhere near as successful.
What’s happened to this ‘90s and early 2000s actor since her most famous movies? Let’s take a look at why Hollywood hasn’t been casting Leelee Sobieski as much in recent years.

Did you learn anything new about Leelee Sobieski from our video?
Yeah, she has nice boobs!
Nicki Swift yeah she seems pretty sensible
I didn't know that?
Yes that she is not going down the same path as other actresses who seem to think that taking their clothes off is the norm in making a film these days. In a way its a shame because I have always thought she is incredibly beautiful but in retrospect I have a lot more respect for her as she is not lowering her standards just to get film roles.
Mark McNamara Nowadays? The most famous women's icon possibly ever Marylin Monroe got her start as a nude pinup girl. Lmao nowadays.
Seems to be a very level headed young lady. Quite rare these days!
Seems to me this is not a "Why Hollywood won't cast Leelee" as much as it is a "Why Leelee doesn't want to be cast anymore."
(..) to be any part of that quagmire anymore... at least, and at last - some NORMAL HUMAN BEING, A WOMAN! I admire her!
One of the most beautiful women on the planet, a d because she's not a skank, ho like so many desperate actresses, she is basically blacklisted (kind of self imposed). Ever since the movie, "Glass House", I have found her one of the absolute sexiest Girls(ladies/women), on this planet.
I love her morals thats hard to fine now adays power to royal woman👍
She wasn’t a huge star because she wouldn’t sell herself.. good for her 💕
Respect
Mandy Moore too
she was good in joan of arc and uprising but after...
I always knew she wouldn't sell out i can tell when i see a person is a sell out or not
So true!!! Good for her!!!!
So, she has a moral standard and that's a bad thing? How far have we fallen that moral standards are to be shunned. Good for Leelee Sobieski, much respect for her.
We need more women like this as a role model. She was a great actress. Hopefully we'll see her again.
For A Moment Portrait i
I respect her decision to put her career on hold for her children. Very admirable.
Virgin until 26 ??in Hollywood?? That alone deserves a double Oscar!
What deep impact.....she's a virgin!
I guess she never met Weinstein.
No, thats why she was kicked out of hollywood.
Richard Azocar
Or she did and that's why her career tanked.
exactly, no casting couch "promotions"
I miss her! She was like the Jennifer Lawrence of the 90s!!!
Hell no
Leelee is taller THO and I find Leelee more attractive
Yeah, except Leelee could actually act, unlike Jennifer. Sorry, not sorry.
@Ryan Akwar Sadly yes, my best friend made me tho to be fair. He's a JLaw fan. If he hasn't of made me, I'd never have watched them.
And 2000s
For some reason "The Glass House" came to mind the other day, and I wondered what ever happened to Leelee. I don't care what anyone says, to me she is absolutely beautiful. In the roles I have seen her in, as a grandmother, I just want to see her happy and well.
Loved her in the Glass House.
A terrific suspense movie.
@@djbenji2643
Oh yeah, that's when I fell in love with her. Although I'm sad she chose to quit Hollywood, I do wish the best life possible for her. God bless you, Leelee. I pray you will continue to inspire other actresses (along with women in general).
Didn't she act in the movie 88 minutes? With Al Pacino.
I love the fact that she had personal standards and did not change them for Hollywood!! More female actresses need to do that!!
More actresses should just do WHATEVER they want.
This bitch is full of shit.
Only more female actresses?? And what about male actors?? Don't they all go too far?? Even "playing" sexual scenes as trans/homosexuals while they really are not... Who needs to see all this?
@Kristy Montgomery
: It is not actress that should have standards. Directors, producers, et, al should have strict moral standards too.
I like seeing boobs.. Illythia in Spartacus Blood & Sand has the world's nicest boobs.. the only thing I've ever seen that makes me believe in intelligent design.. they are amazing! You barely notice her nose..
She stated this on Wikipedia: In 2012, Sobieski confirmed "I don't do movie stuff anymore". Commenting on the reasons for her early retirement to Us Weekly, Sobieski said "I am just focused on my kids. I think that's mainly why I stopped...Also, ninety percent of acting roles involve so much sexual stuff with other people, and I don't want to do that
She was absolutely impressive as Joan of Arc. It's so nice to know she took the high road. A Helen Hunt lookalike? No. Helen is very nice looking, but Leelee is stunning!
Mad respect for this actress. She didn't let Hollywood make her crazy. 😎
I like her look pretty and high fashion looking. She is even prettier now.
She is not prettier now imo...
How awesome she never sold out her body to Hollywood. Good for her for drawing a line, holding to it and walking a way with integrity and class!
She is a great actress as is proven in all her movies. And she’s very classy and graceful and her beauty is natural. I’m sure she has a wonderful personality. She is sure to emerge again when SHE is ready.
Totally respect her good attitude for her life.
She is and she still will be one prettiest actresses I ever saw.
second that...had such a crush on her at first sight!!!!
Vlado Buster ...i used to yank off to her... I would bust right on the tv
God himself Pics or GTFO.
She's also tall af
Just saw the glass house yesterday never heard about her but the whole time I watch it goes "good god where can I find someone like her"
Wow. I gain so much respect for her after watching this video. Compared to other teen stars, she definitely came out ok.
Don't respect him, he was born male:
images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Reunion--leelee-sobieski-321116_561_409.jpg
I say she came out definitely more than just ok ;*
So to translate she refused Harvey Weinstein's requests...
She is so Beautiful God bless her and her family to
Dang! I truly, honestly, and with my whole heart respect her decision to be a Mom (when I was her age NOTHING took me away from my children) but I really, really miss seeing her in movies...she is not only beautiful but she is GOOD!!!! Really, really GOOD! Best to you Leelee.
I have always, always been impressed with LeeLee Sobieski! I have seen her in Joan of Arc, the Glass House and Joyride and I thought she delivered a fantastic performance. I am impressed with her decision to value her body and soul in the entertainment business. She is making the right decision to focus on her family, self and Husband.
Good on her!
I have a lot of respect and admiration for this woman. Way to go Leelee. You’re an outstanding role model for young girls everywhere.
She probably rejected Harvey Weinstein's "proposals". Her dignity was not for sale. 😊
Don’t believe everything some idiot says on the internet.
Correct, she was born male!
images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Reunion--leelee-sobieski-321116_561_409.jpg
Exactly right. The women who are big stars "made it" for only one reason. The women who have talent and morals simply don't survive. Hollywood is a sick place and no one should think of the women who make it to the top as role models.
Truth Seeker I agree with you. Some horrible victim shaming comments on this thread though
i am impressed with her. glad she didn't turn to the dark side.
He did! He was born male!

John Richards you are awfully obsessed with her genitalia . How exactly did she get pregnant if your “theory” is true? And how exactly is it any of your damn business?
@@John-kv7jo so you mean she is a transwoman?
@@honeynepomuceno4763 Yes.
@@John-kv7jo she’s trending due to netflix .
She's one classy lady.
She quit acting in 2012 to focus on being a mom. That's why.
tudorjason Exactly. They act like no one wanted to cast her. She willfully retired.
That's the fact.
But I want to see her again in the movie😭
Nice to see a Hollywood star with some moral principles.
She wouldn't fit in Hollywood anyway. She has morals
Mark David something 80% of the human population seems to lack.
That is so unfortunate, no wonder god has killed so many no good humans with floods long long time ago......
Here comes the ignorant blaming God for the bad things that happen to humanity. What about the good things?
Camilla Abalos you know all the humans on this planet?
Mark David let's have a Shower 😂
It's impossible not to like Leelee. Hope she's happy!
John William I didn't know that. How disgusting!
Really? I hated her from the first time I ever saw her.
Finally, somebody else willing to say they can't stand her.
Respect for this lady! She stood strong for what she believed in. I have nothing but admiration for her!! I hope she has a long, happy life!
GUYS! GUYS! GUYS!!! Do you even know that she is one of Polish Royal members!!!??? That explains everything about her cold but great angelic looks......
Leelee is a class act and a rare woman these days. I bet she is a terrific mom.
More power to her! I respect that she doesn't want to strip in front of the camera to for money. An actress with scruples I love it! It's sad that she is punished for it but I think she is a beautiful amazing lady.
He has no scruples. He was born male!

John Richards
Lmao...really, bro?
Your proof was her looking like a normal chubby child?
Even if she is transgender I still have nothing but respect for her.
Doesn't change shit for me.
How can you respect a deceiver? Did he come out and confess to all his fans that he is a mtf transgender? There were many men out there fawning over him, all the while thinking she was a girl when in reality she was a he. He was pushing the homosexual agenda.
Jr
Knowing Hollywood, I bet it was more like"No I won't screw you for a movie part!"
JOYRIDE is one of the most unforgettable thriller films of all time. One of my favorites. I loved Leelee even before JOYRIDE.. but it was when I saw JOYRIDE that I fell in love with Paul Walker (RIP)
not sleeping her way up is what stopped her career,good for her ,for not being used up by Hollywood
I'm surprised they didn't mention her role in "The Story of: Joan of Arc", I thought she was awesome in that movie and thats what I'll always remember her from
She is smart and beautiful lady ❤️
LeeLee's had more acting credits than any ten or fifteen actresses - she's a brilliant actress, woman, talent - I'm sure she's still zipping along - amazing career already.
Have to give her credit for not selling her morals. Agree with her choices or not, there's someone who won't compromise her dignity for money.
She did sell out in the sense that she was born male:
images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Reunion--leelee-sobieski-321116_561_409.jpg
In my opinion, maintaining her integrity and values IS sexy. I can't turn on the TV without seeing women constantly being portrayed in a sexual manner, many of which are striving & choosing to be seen in such a way. To me, a woman, it's refreshing to see/hear that a female actress didn't betray her core beliefs just to hopefully make more money.
they are not being portrayed women choose to put their tits out.
shen d ~ I don't think you noticed that I wrote that the women are essentially choosing to be portrayed that way, striving for it even. Really, we're in agreement so it doesn't make a difference! Lol 😉
And i can't turn on the tv without seeing men being potrayed as inept assholes. Look at most tv shows and films; it's the guy who plays the idiot or the wrong doer. And don't get me started on commercials. Totally misandristic. Those sexist roles go both ways.
robken0174 ~I agree. I've definitely noticed that men are always getting portrayed as bumbling idiots, especially in commercials. It's so f*cking stupid! I can't stand turning on my TV anymore, so I don't. Hell I've even noticed that kids cartoons always show the parents as being ignorant, and the kids have to "save the parents". All of those ignorant & false stereotypes do bleed over into the real world. My husband and I talk about this crap a lot because it's, unfortunately, unavoidable every time you turn on the TV.
+Amez Fires do what I did....turn off the TV and throw the fucking thing in the recycling tip ....have never ever missed it.
why didn't she become a model she was gorgeous and her eyes are beautiful
Thank you. I was thinking the same, she's too good for all that Hollywood stuff.
Lots of nudity there too...
Just as much, if not more, fucked up shit goes on in the modeling world as Hollywood.
Probably because model's life is just miserable and they're only treated like an object.
@@gygye like eating 2 tomatoes a day is fun lol.
Proud of her for not selling out! Definitely a GEM!!!!
I'll miss her, but her decision of personal privacy is most respectable!
I love the movie Glasshouse
Yeah and wickerman although it was a small part
She's beautiful and obviously smart. There's no apparent reason for her to not be cast in a group. She does look a lot like Hunt .
She is one of my favorite actresses she has a natural beauty and innocence about her, very sweet and kind its a shame that Hollywood discarded her the way that she did. Its probably for the best
Ranma Saotome She willfully retired. I don’t know why this video is claiming she was rejected and outcast.
I knew I liked her for a reason. Her morals.
lol
Morals and Hollywood almost like facts and progressives, but I've actually seen a small handful of Hollywood alumni who impressed me with their stance of the issues.
Not to mention her excellent acting and beauty.
Michael A And big tits.

Very refreshing to see modesty in an actress. Hollywood could take a lesson from her. Sick of sleaze.
4TIMESAYEAR yet I bet you tuned in and watched them.
I liked her movie as Joan of Arc.
Kudos to Leelee Sobieski for holding her ground! We NEED people like HER today and tomorrow - we need people of INTEGRITY, and ready to fight for their values. We shall watch and support her career even more now!
Everyone has a star crush, and Leelee has been mine! Still beautiful, natural, & gorgeous!
She has an odd beauty about her. But shes still very pretty
ZeldasFinalFantasy Helen Hunts twin
ZeldasFinalFantasy She remind me of gigi hadid
ZeldasFinalFantasy She's a Queen, i've always admired her
No, not twin... Helen could be her mother though. It's like she's a cross between Hunt and someone else, but I can't quite put my finger on who... Princess Diana, maybe?
Sobieski definitely had plastic surgery at some point in the last few years though... she looks kinda gross is more recent pics
LoowheezeBreeze Evan Rachel Wood
Virgin till married, respect
Almost wished Id done the same
I've always liked her acting, and yes, she is beautiful. Giving up acting to raising her children is certainly a noble cause. I respect her for that.
Way to go Leelee. Glad she has a happy life.
Lee Lee was born male:
images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Reunion--leelee-sobieski-321116_561_409.jpg
She didn't sell out.
She's def. one of the rare and unique flower in the garden of Hollywood. I totally respect her wish her and wish Good luck in her future endeavors.
What a wonderful smart and beautiful girl.
My respect for this women rose high, not many people and actresses have as high morale as she does or what is the word in English.
Vaxo Gakh You think it's moral? It seems more stubborn. Married for 5 months. That's not particularly moral is it? More like stubborn and demanding. You pay to play.
I really Don't care
"what is the word in English."
And I meant that she didn't whore herself around, that she kept to her virginity, that she holds her family, her children, her personal life above all else. Nowadays people will do anything to be celebs/famous, they will even whore themselves just to be famous, just to walk the red carpet, they will go naked and bare all, but when nude pictures of themselves get out they scream, Hell even so called "celebs" even "leak" their own nudes to be famous for 15 more minutes.
Yeh I respect her. because she kept to her virginity till marriage, I respect her because she puts her family above being a celeb and "family" isn't only husband.
Anyway traits like that are hard to come by today and particularly in Celeb life, were they will even fuck a rich arab if told so.
"More like stubborn and demanding. You pay to play."
and what? So she is stubborn because she kept her virginity till marriage?
Vaxo Gakh although being devoted to your family is great and very important, I think it is unfair that women are judged by their sexuality and men aren't. I mean if she felt better saving her virginity that's great, but men can have as many sexual partners as they like and no one loses respect for them, but a woman is judged negatively for chosing the sexual life that she wants
Vaxo Gakh Yes, if she gave her virginity away for a ring. Family first, not sure there is proof there. Money allows for that. Acting, made money, now models for husbands clothing, more money for her family. Easier when money is plentiful.
Not whoring is moral? Low bar there. How about not sleeping outside of a committed relationship, not necessarily marriage, not moral? I know you did not indicate that, but morals is more than family first in my opinion. It's how you treat others, nothing mentioned to say she miss treated others, how you decide what to do with your life. Selling yourself in Hollywood is a type of whoring isn't it? Moral still? Maybe.
Don't see her as being more moral than most, but for Hollywood it does seem abnormal.
Pointing out your a virgin until marriage, seems no reason to be mentioned other than to self promote. Whoring?
Keeping it, and not mentioning it except to marriage partner, only partner, seems more moral.
Vaxo Gakh Another word might be virtuous?
You've earned my respect.
She was born male:

I hope she gets more roles, her voice and acting is great.
She is truly beautiful and I do like her work.
Sobieski is great and beautiful actress !!!!
Definitely respect her opinions on her self image!!
Love her great sense of morals.
I really appreciate her ideals. She is a brilliant actress. I would bet her ideals caused her problems in the perverse world of Hollywood. I’m sure she will show everyone what a multi talented young woman she is.
She's really gotten more beautiful as she ages.
What about "My First Mister?" I thought she was great in that and it's not even mentioned. I think she's a classy woman.
Karen Camp I agree!! I was expecting to scroll and find tons of comments like this one!! (And mine) it's my favorite of hers!!
One of the best films of our time.
Congratulations Lee Lee for not letting Hollywood chew you up and spit you out. Your catalog of performances is out there for everyone to enjoy and won't be tarnished.
Hollywood cannot handle the Polish epicness of that magnitude.
Hey. I'm no prude. But good for you, Leelee, for sticking to your ethics.
Helen Hunt/ Jodie Foster mix
omg you are soo right they all look and sound related 😁
OMG!! Is she the love child of Helen Hunt and Jodie Foster??!!
Lilly Rose looks more like Evan Rachel Wood to me
Lilly Rose I always thought she looked like Tea Leoni. but now that this video pointed it out Helen Hunt/ Jodi Foster look so much like her (and each other ) even more so!
hi hi, yeah i like Helen Foster!
Leelee, such a role model of a self-respecting, high-class woman, not desperate to sell her own body for fame and fortune. A lady who holds herself with high regard in such a toxic & corrupted film industry. Her kids are lucky to have her as a mom. Much love and respect to her !
Never compromised her self respect and didn’t do things she was uncomfortable with… seems like she wasn’t looking for the roles so that’s why she wasn’t casted. Good for her. Boundaries and personal standards in tact👍🏼
Good for her!!! She's probably happier than most actors, anyway, choosing that lifestyle.
"Helen Hunt lookalike", nope, she's better looking than Helen Hunt.
Bayan1905 I always thought she could pass for a younger Helen. They could be a mother daughter in a movie.
@@jmi0112... I ditect some jealousy!! 😂
i wondered what happened to leelee sobieski. Yes I always thought she had beautiful eyes.
Dude, leave them alone. They look a bit similar. But they don't look so much alike.
Or Jodi Foster. All 3 have a similar look
I was stunned when I saw her in the movie The Glass House,I wonder what she looks like now so here I am searching for her.
Respect to this lady!
I just watched her in 88 minutes with Al Pacino. Great performance. She plays a villain in a way that makes you truly think she’s a psychopath. Takes a great amount of acting talent, that.
I used to love this woman. I hope she is happy with her life and with her kids.
She touched me when she played jeanne d'arc
Aurea Gold - She should have gotten an Oscar for Joan of Arc.
She Is Beautiful. She has ethics and a moral code above most actresses in the film industry. She was true to herself and did not sell herself short to stay in Hollywood. Great person, great wife and a great mother. Great Bio
This is a person with good values and high moral believes! WOW - guys cannot find many people like Sobieski anymore... Where did all go? We need more like her!
I always thought she looked like Helen Hunt
Kris johns Everybody thinks that, they even had a Celebrity Deathmatch with them.
Kris johns only better
John William- As with Leelee, it's not fear, it's pure class. Good goin' Leelee. Hollywood's the loser in this. Unfortunately, we don't get to see your fabulous acting talent. Class & good morals are what the world needs now. Hollywood just hasn't grown up to realize that. They are such low-lifes. We will miss you, Leelee, but I'm sure I can speak for many, if not all here, that we want you to be happy. Cheers!
If Helen hunt and Jodie foster had a kid
I loved her glass house
He did a commendable job in Glass House. But his greatest acting accomplishment is fooling the world into thinking that he is a woman! He was born male.

Is that where she was the babysitter and some murderer was trying to come after her and the kid
Ahhw E-Any no her and her brother were adopted after their parents died n a car crash and the new parents turned out be weird asf and yes ended up trying to silence them
I admit that I had a crush on Leelee Sobieski during the late 1990s and early 2000s, but I love that she has good moral standards and principles. How can you not get that, especially after playing Joan of Arc? Now that she's a mother, her kids are what give her joy. Your family should give you love and joy, and that's what she's getting now. Good for her!
at least her credibility is intact .. unlike most others ..
I like her. She is normal.
That's why other ppl don't like her. Bc shes- normal
joan of arc my favourite - love her to bits
My desire to partake of anything from Hollywood has dropped considerably because I finally realized what cesspool it is. When I hear about women like Ms. Sobieski I am heartened and given to great respect for them.
She was the first guest on Jay Leno after 9/11.. She wrote a poem that she read on the show, and it was mind blowingly brilliant. She's extremely intelligent and talented.
I liked her character in Never Been Kissed. Tough, and willing to be independent. Glad to see she had good morals on top of that. Hollywood doesn't like stars who aren't scandalous, promiscuous, or morally bankrupt. Good people don't sell tickets it seems.
I admire her for her decision.
Do you admire his decision to fool the world?

Ms. Sobieski is a good woman, truly strong, truly independent. Good for her. We need more like her.
She was my first favorite actress she will always have a special place in my heart because again my first favorite actress but I’m glad she’s doing things with art something she had always wanted more than acting to begin with.
I understand why she feels the way she does & I admire her for it. She stAnds by her beliefs. Good for her.
She's such z natural beauty and not a bad actress either.
I love leelee so much. A great actor and a phenomenal artist
Love her. Saw her is a film called Night Train. Was captivated by her beauty and presence.
