In 1990 , '' The Oprah Winfrey Show '' and the Elite Agency held a nationwide modeling search; Leslie's mother took photos of her then 16-year-old daughter and sent them in. Although Leslie wasn't impressed with the photos, the judges, John Casablanca , Naomi Campbell , Linda Evangelista and Iman were, and they picked her as the winner. After finishing her junior year, Leslie flew to New York City and signed a contract with Elite. She modeled over the summer, and went on a trip to Japan . She returned home for her senior year and graduated in 1992 , then decided to forgo a full-time modeling career to attend the University Of Virginia . After a single semester, however, she dropped out and moved to New York City. She attended the William Esper acting studio for three years and took nine months off in which she did more modeling in Europe. Her photographs have appeared in such magazine as '' Maxim '' and '' FHM ''. Leslie had her first film role in the comedy '' Private Parts '' ( 1997 ), which was followed by her first television series (where she replaced the departed Susan Walters as the female lead) in the second season of ''The Big Easy'' ( 1996 ) (based on the 1987 Movie of the same name) on USA . Unfortunately, the show was cancelled just months later. In 1999 she appeared as Brooke McQueen, one of the lead characters on the WB Network television series '' Popular ''. The show was a success among teenagers, and led Leslie to more recognizable film roles such as '' The Skulls '' ( 2000 ) and '' See Spot Run '' ( 2001 ). More recently, she has appeared as intern Erin Harkins in '' ER '', and was the star of the short-lived ABC series '' Line Of Fire ''. She joined the cast of long-running crime drama '' Crossing Jordan '' in 2006 as Detective Lu Simmons. She was married to Rob Born from 2003 to 2004 . She is also a natural Brunette (she dyed her hair blonde for the role of Brooke McQueen, but let her hair go back to its natural color for one episode). |
