Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA:
Jennifer Jason Leigh begann ihre schauspielerische Laufbahn in den 1970er Jahren mit Gastauftritten in verschiedenen Fernsehsendungen. Ihren Durchbruch beim Film hatte sie 1982 mit ihrer Darstellung der Stacy Hamilton in „Ich glaub’, ich steh’ im Wald“. Im Jahr 2015 wurde sie von der Kritik für ihre Rolle als Daisy Domergue in Quentin Tarantinos „The Hateful Eight“ gefeiert, für die sie für den Golden Globe, den Critics’ Choice, den BAFTA und den Academy Award als beste Nebendarstellerin nominiert wurde. Leigh ist bekannt für ihre emotional rauen und oft sexuell expliziten Darstellungen verletzlicher und geschädigter Frauen und für ihre intensive, von Methoden inspirierte Recherche für ihre Rollen.
