Amanda Peet grew up in New York with her older sister and
their parents, Charles, a lawyer, and Penny, a social worker. She made an
unconventional stage debut at the age of three when she jumped onto the stage
during a play; yet, despite this early start, she later studied acting more as a
hobby than anything else. She studied history at Columbia University where a
drama professor convinced her to audition for acting teacher Uta Hagen, with
whom she later went on to study for a four-year period; during which time, she
participated in the off-Broadway revival of Clifford Odets' "Awake and Sing."
She supported herself during the audition phase of her career by waitressing and
with the residual checks she received from a Skittles candy commercial.
Perseverance and hard work paid off, and in 1995, she was cast in a
guest-starring role on the hit series "Law & Order" (1990).
Her feature film debut came in 1995 in the movie Animal Room (1995). For a while
after, Amanda continued to find steady work, but also found herself appearing in
a depressingly large number of indie films that were never picked up. She did
however, meet her boyfriend Brian Van Holt on the set of indie movie Whipped
(2000). Her turn as the ditzy hit-woman with the heart of gold in the hit comedy
The Whole Nine Yards (2000) opposite Bruce Willis, that took her from supporting
role status to leading lady. That same year she was voted one of the 50 Most
