Leigh was last seen starring with Meg Ryan and Mark Ruffalo in Jane Campion's thriller In The Cut. Her films include A Thousand Acres opposite Michelle Pfeiffer and Jessica Lange, Georgia which she also produced, Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle for which she won the National Society of Film Critics and Chicago Film Critics for Best Actress, the Coen Brothers' The Hudsucker Proxy, Dolores Claiborne, Single White Female and Last Exit to Brooklyn which garnered her the New York Film Critics Circle and Boston Society of Film Critics Best Supporting Actress Awards. More recently, she starred in the Dogma film The King is Alive, Tamra Davis' Skipped Parts and David Cronenberg's eXistenZ. Her forthcoming films include Todd Solondz's Palindromes, the comedy Childstar and the thriller The Jacket.
