She received critical praise for her performances in Last Exit to Brooklyn (1989), Miami Blues (1990), Backdraft (1991), Single White Female (1992), and The Hudsucker Proxy (1994), and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for her portrayal of Dorothy Parker in Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle (1994). For her role as fugitive Daisy Domergue in The Hateful Eight (2015), she was nominated for the Golden Globe and an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Leigh starred in a 1995 film written by her mother, screenwriter Barbara Turner, entitled Georgia. She co-wrote and co-directed a film with Alan Cumming titled The Anniversary Party (2001).
