Biography
Early life
Peet was born in New York City to Charles Peet (a lawyer) and Penny (a social worker). Her father was a Quaker and her mother was Jewish. Amanda attended Friends Seminary with Liev Schreiber, then studied history at Columbia University, where she auditioned for acting teacher Uta Hagen. During her four-year period of study with Hagen, Peet appeared in the off-Broadway revival of Clifford Odets's Awake and Sing.
Career
Peet's first screen performance was a television commercial for Skittles. Her early roles included a guest starring role on the television series Law & Order. She made her film debut in Animal Room (1995). Peet maintained a steady acting career in relatively obscure indie movies.
Her first major role was as "Jack" in the 1999 TV series Jack & Jill (which aired for two seasons). She also appeared on Seinfeld as the waitress whom Jerry Seinfeld met. Her character is notable for seemingly dating two men at once, Jerry and her apparent roommate, Lyle. Peet's first role in a widely-released feature film came in 2000, with The Whole Nine Yards, elevating her status from supporting actress to lead. That same year, she was voted one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World by People magazine. Amanda was also in the movie Saving Silverman with Jack Black and Steve Zahn.
In 2005, she starred in the play This Is How It Goes, alongside Jeffrey Wright and Ben Stiller. In the same year she also starred in the film A Lot Like Love, with Ashton Kutcher. In February 2006, she was performing in Neil Simon's Broadway production of Barefoot in the Park.
On February 3, 2006, it was announced Peet would be joining the cast of Aaron Sorkin's show Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, which premiered on NBC on September 18, 2006.
Personal life
Peet became engaged to actor/writer David Benioff on July 19, 2005, and later acknowledged her mother was helping her plan a Jewish wedding.[1] On September 15, 2006, Peet's publicist confirmed the two are expecting a child, a daughter sometime in 2007.[2] On the weekend of October 1, 2006, Amanda Peet married David Benioff in New York City.[3]
Trivia
- Howard Stern has repeatedly made comments about her alluding to a personal animosity between the two of them. It may have something to do with the time she spent on the set of Whipped with Stern's girlfriend Beth Ostrosky, who had a small role in the film, or the set of the movie she did with Stern's friend and co-worker Fred Norris, called Two Ninas. Some perceived poor treatment of one or both of them could explain their animosity. citation needed]
- During an appearance on the September 27, 2006 episode of Late Show with David Letterman, she revealed a sensitivity to the shape or physical appearance of her thumbs. A quick close-up shot revealed the fact that they are actually quite normal.
