| 31 | * DyeingForYourArt: The multiple facial piercings her character has in ''My First Mister'' were real -- after filming completed, she let them all close up, but kept the jewelry as a memento. |
| 32 | * OneWomanSong: "Why Leelee Won't Love Me" by Primitive Whore. |
| 33 | * StarDerailingRole: Fresh off the momentum of ''Film/NeverBeenKissed'' and ''Film/EyesWideShut'', and being promoted as the next [[HollywoodHypeMachine "It Girl"]], ''Film/TheGlassHouse'' was her first headlining role. The film was a critical and commercial failure; it currently stands at 22% on Website/RottenTomatoes, and grossed $23.6 million against a $30 million budget, which many attributed to the film opening the week after 9/11 did not help. She's been pretty low-profile since, to the point of ending her acting career in 2012. |
