There's something gorgeously sensible about Leelee Sobieski. She's sexy in the way your head girl was when you got a glimpse of the strap of her trainer bra under her school blouse. And at just 16 years old, she's been managing a stellar career for quite some time now. She stole the show as Channe in A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries (Merchant Ivory big girl's blouserie) and snogged Elijah Wood in Deep Impact (they were both sucking mints at the time). She's a magnificently-proud math nerd in Never Been Kissed (cue unfettered girly gush in praise of co-star Drew Barrymore: "She's an angel, I'm in love with her") and in Eyes Wide Shut, she plays the daughter of the creepy fancy dress shop man, and gets to be perved over by all and sundry (including Tom Cruise). The only really freaky thing about Leelee is her penchant for collecting hair from her co-workers. She's the proud owner of a Kubrick curl ("an elegantly charming man, who was always touching his beard"). But sadly Tom Cruise would not oblige: "I think he got scared about cloning." Leelee Sobieski: about to take Hollywood by the short and curlies.
