Amanda Peet Biography
Amanda Peet was born on January 11
Amanda Peet was born on January 11, 1972 in New York.
Amanda 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.
Amanda studied history at Columbia University where a drama professor convinced
her to audition for acting teacher Uta Hagen, with whom she would later go on to
study for a four year period, during which time, she participated in the
off-Broadway revival of Clifford Odets' "Awake and Sing".
Voted one of the 50 most beautiful people in the World in 2000 by People
Magazine, Amanda 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).
Amanda's feature film debut came in 1995 in the movie "Animal Room" (1995). For
a while after, she continued to find steady work, but also found herself
appearing in a depressingly large number of indie films that were never picked
up. But it was her turn as the hit-woman with the heart of gold in the hit
comedy "The Whole Nine Yards" (2000) opposite Bruce Willis, that took Amanda
Peet from supporting role status to leading lady.
