About Leslie

Leslie Kendall Dye grew up in Los Angeles and began acting in film and television at 12, after debuting in the title role of Los Angeles Chamber Ballet's "The Little Prince" at 10. She was a series regular on Charlie Hoover, for Fox TV,starring Sam Kinison, and she played Lee Remick's daughter in a three part television miniseries for NBC called "Nutcracker, Money, Madness and Murder." She also guest starred on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" and "Clueless," among other TV series.

She attended Columbia University in New York City, after attending Joffrey Ballet School each summer for a decade prior to college. After that, she attended The Neighborhood Playhouse and other theatre schools in NYC. She began work in theatre and film on the east coast following her education there. She starred as a femme fatale in a film noir comedy entitled "Body/Antibody" and played a mentally ill pregnant housewife who, in 1939, is sucked--literally--into an early model television in a short film called "Telegenic." She has done many other short films and has appeared on stage at Here, Ensemble Studio Theatre, The Cherry Lane Theatre, and others.

She lives with her husband and daughter in NYC and has begun to write in addition to acting. She has written for Salon, The Washington Post, Vela Magazine, The Toast, Brain, Child, Word Riot,The Huffington Post, Role Reboot, The Reject Pile, Mamalode, Nanny Magazine, and book reviews for Off the Shelf, among others.

She still dances, although always in service of an acting role now, or, of course, at the ballet barre.
