Ione Skye
Ione Skye Lee (born September 4, 1970) is a British-American actress. She made her film debut in River's Edge (1986) before finding mainstream exposure by starring in Cameron Crowe's Say Anything... (1989). She continued to appear in films throughout the 1990s, with notable parts in Gas Food Lodging (1992), Wayne's World (1992) and One Night Stand (1997). Her other credits include The Rachel Papers (1989), Guncrazy (1992), Four Rooms (1995), Fever Pitch (2005) and Zodiac (2007).
Skye's television work includes regular, recurring and guest roles on series such as Covington Cross (1992), The Twilight Zone (2002), Private Practice (2008), Arrested Development (2005–2019), Good Girls (2020), La Brea (2021) and Barons (2022). In addition to acting, Skye paints and has written several children's books. In 2006, VH1 ranked her 84th on its list of the "100 Greatest Teen Stars."
Born in Hampstead, London, Skye is the daughter of folk singer-songwriter Donovan and model Enid Karl (née Stulberger). Her father is Scottish-born with some Irish ancestry and grew up in England. Her mother is an American who was raised in the Bronx, New York City, and is Jewish. Her second name comes from the Isle of Skye. She is the younger sister of Camp Freddy singer Donovan Leitch. Skye's parents were separated at the time of her birth, and she was raised by her mother, having little to no contact with her father.
Skye grew up primarily in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and also spent time in Connecticut. She attended Immaculate Heart High School and Hollywood High School in Los Angeles.
Skye made her film debut with a supporting role in River's Edge in 1986, followed by a role as the title character in The Rachel Papers (1989). She played Diane Court, a withdrawn high school valedictorian, in the 1989 film Say Anything..., the feature film debut of director Cameron Crowe; the film attained a cult following and lent Skye international recognition.
In 1992, she played Eleanor Grey on the short-lived television series Covington Cross, starred in Allison Anders's debut feature film Gas Food Lodging (which also featured Skye's brother Donovan Leitch), and had a supporting role in the Stephen La Rocque film Samantha. She subsequently had supporting roles as Elise in the comedy Wayne's World (1992) and the Mike Figgis-directed drama One Night Stand (1997).
She later appeared in the music video for the Harvey Danger song "Sad Sweetheart of the Rodeo." In 2007, Skye had a small, well-received part in the David Fincher film Zodiac.
In a 2010 interview with mondo-video.com, Skye said she had not paid perfect attention to her career arc over the years, saying she "never struck when the iron was hot" when it came to going after big Hollywood roles in her twenties.
