With hopes of being a ballet ballerina, she auditioned for An American in Paris 1951, only to please her mother who loved Hollywood musicals. Well she got the role, and a gold MGM contract, that later turned out not that pleasant all the time. She could have got out but have continued to act...
Without any formal acting training she by the end of the day so far did good, since she is the recipient of a Golden Globe Award, two BAFTA Awards, and a Primetime Emmy Award, in addition to nominations for two Academy Awards.
The L-Shaped Room 1962, winning both a BAFTA Award as a Golden Globe, and Oscar Nominated
Law & Order episode Recall 2006, earning an Emmy Award "Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series"
Lili 1953, Winning a BAFTA award (strangely in the Best Foreign Actress category), and nominated for an Oscar. The song "Hi Lili, Hi Lo" became a worldwide hit parade song, in all kinds of arrangements.
When Hollywood Walk of Fame was inaugurated in 1960, it was decided that all actors and actresses, stars or supporting actors and actresses nominated for Oscars should each have a star, but somehow some slipped by, and Leslie was one of them, she got her belated star in 2009
Not bad for a little girl who once went to an audition to please her mother.
Those above is only fragments of a long career.
