My Take
Leelee Sobieski carries a wistful kind of mystique for me. A teenage standout in Deep Impact and Eyes Wide Shut, she had the world's attention young, then walked away from acting to live as a painter. Brown-educated, poised at 178 cm, and palpably multitalented, she traded the screen for the canvas with a clarity I find genuinely admirable. I have a soft spot for people who understand the art of the exit, of leaving on their own terms. I like to imagine that the same translucent delicacy she brought to her best performances now lives in her brushwork, and that thought makes me smile.
