Leila George D'Onofrio, a talented Australian actress, was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, to a family with a rich cultural heritage. Her father, Vincent D'Onofrio, is a renowned actor and producer, while her mother, Greta Scacchi, is a highly accomplished actress. Growing up, Leila was raised by her mother in Brighton, East Sussex, United Kingdom, where she developed a strong foundation in the arts.
As a young woman, Leila's passion for acting led her to pursue formal training. In 2008, she enrolled in acting classes at Brighton College, where she honed her craft and developed her skills. The following year, she took her talents to Crawley College, her mother's alma mater, to further her education. In 2010, she continued her studies at the prestigious Arts Educational Schools in London, where she was surrounded by like-minded individuals and industry professionals.
After completing her studies in the UK, Leila returned to her native Australia to study at Sydney Film School in 2011. This experience allowed her to immerse herself in the Australian film industry and gain valuable hands-on experience. In 2012, she made the bold decision to relocate to the United States, where she enrolled at the Lee Strasberg Institute in New York City. This move brought her closer to her father and provided her with the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the industry.
