In the film, she played Carly Bishop, a privileged private school student whose storyline intersected with the film's central characters at the elite St Martha's College.

She later built a steady television career with appearances in series including Underbelly, Rescue: Special Ops, The Secret Daughter, Wakefield and The Wrong Girl.
She is also well known for her recurring role as Erica Davidson in the hit Foxtel prison drama Wentworth.
Most recently, Leeanna starred in the Nine drama Human Error (2024), the biggest Free to Air role she has ever undertaken.
'Except for Jessica (2004), I've never played the lead of a series, especially one like this on a Free to Air network like Channel Nine,' she told TV Tonight at the time.
'I definitely think I'm a better actor now. But when I think about it, other than theatre, I've been part of ensembles as a lead, which is extraordinary. This role feels even bigger, because I guess I'm older and I'm more aware of what's going on.'
