First video has emerged of the child Oscar-winning Hollywood director Steven Soderbergh has fathered - but never met.

The Ocean Eleven director is being sued for child support by an Australian woman who says the Oscar-winning filmmaker fathered her blue-eyed baby daughter, named Pearl Button.

Speaking from her home in Sydney's eastern suburbs, mother Frances Anderson told an Australian newspaper she "could not comment" on whether Soderbergh had indicated any interest in having a relationship with his daughter.
