Amanda Peet

Amanda Peet became famous for her roles in films and on the stage. In the United States, the actress is also known as the author of works for children. However, the book, published in 2015, would hardly have attracted the interest of readers if it were not for the author's name, which became famous thanks to the comedies of the early 2000s.

The parents of the actress are far from art. The future actress was born into an ordinary New York family. My father served as a lawyer in a small company. Mother worked in social services. The maternal great-grandfather was an impresario, a person known in theatrical circles, but Amanda did not find him.

In 1979, the family moved to London, where they spent four years. Amanda was raised in a Quaker tradition. His father was a member of the "Society of Friends", his mother is Jewish. Pete is an educated lady, her knowledge is not limited to the world of cinema. The future actress studied at Columbia University - she studied US history. However, as a student, she was increasingly thinking about an acting career and even then attended auditions.

The first project in Pete's acting career is the Skittles ad. The fee received for shooting in a simple video about gummy candy was enough for the girl for a long time. But Amanda did not want to become a commercial star, but a serious, versatile actress. Pete took a long time towards her goal.

In 1992, Amanda played in one of the popular TV series of those years, but her name was not indicated in the credits. Debbie in Animal Room - Pete got this role in 1995 and is considered to be her debut role. In November of the same year, the blue-eyed brown-haired woman appeared in the TV series Law & Order. Like many stars, Amanda gained her first experience on the set of low-budget films.

The heroine of "Touch Me" one day finds out that her former boyfriend has AIDS. In the melodrama, Pete played the main role. However, the film did not gain wide popularity. Not many viewers remembered the play of the young actress in One Beautiful Day. In this picture, Amanda was again on the sidelines.

Pete's first serious work in filmography was the role of Jacqueline Barrett in the 1999 series Jack and Jill, which started on American television in 1999. The career of another star, Sarah Paulson, began with the filming of the serial.

In 1999, work began on a film about the life and work of Jacqueline Suzanne - the author of the book "Valley of the Dolls", a 60s bestseller. The film was released in Russia under the title "Real Woman". The role of the writer was played by Bette Midler. Pete played a minor character.

But she soon got a role in a crime comedy, which brought popularity to her and her partners. However, the name of Bruce Willis, who played in the "9 yards" charming criminal, by that time was known in the United States and Europe. Pete's next film work is a role in the Hacking thriller, based on events from Mitnick's life.

Film critics praised the game of the 28-year-old actress. From directors Amanda now more often received proposals, but, as a rule, it was about roles in comedy films. In the film "Bitch", the actress created on the screen the image of a cynical temptress, a young attractive woman who easily manipulates men.

Since 2002, Pete has appeared not only in comedies and melodramas. The filmography is replenished with dramas and thrillers, the most striking of which was "Identification". In the picture with a florid plot and a tragic ending, Pete appeared in the form of a former prostitute, dreaming of a house in the province.

But the heroine's dreams are not destined to come true - she dies. However, like all the characters in "Identification". Michael Cooney wrote the script under the impression of the novel "10 Little Indians", and therefore did not regret any of his characters. The main character, the former police officer Ed, was played by John Cusack.

In 2004, the sequel "9 Yards" was released. The heroine Pete, who once dreamed of becoming a hitman, in the second part already appears in the role of the faithful "Tulip", played by Willis. The sequel was not appreciated by either critics or viewers. On the Metacritic website, the film scored 24 points out of 100.

Almost at the same time, when the shooting of "Ten Yards" began, Woody Allen invited Amanda to the picture "Melinda and Melinda". The film combines elements of two different genres - comedy and drama.

In 2005, the actress starred in the Oscar-winning thriller Siriana, which had to be combined with theatrical rehearsals, for George Clooney. The film was critically acclaimed with four awards, including the Edgar Poe Award for Best Screenplay. The actress played an inconspicuous heroine here and did not receive an award. But in the future, Pete was not particularly lucky for insignia. Her track record includes two awards: Young Hollywood and the 2011 Robert Altman Award.

Another bright role Amanda Peet performed in the fantastic film "2012". The film is based on an eschatological delusion about the end of the world.

In 2008, the actress joined a non-profit organization that promotes vaccination of children. To this she was pushed by the misconceptions about the harmful effects of vaccinations, which are common to many Americans. In an interview, the actress called the parents who oppose the vaccination of children, nothing more than parasites. Later, Pete had to make an official apology for the word "parasites". However, the movie star is still convinced of the safety and indispensability of vaccinations.

The actress got married at 34. Her chosen one was David Benioff, for whom this marriage was also the first. Pete met the writer and producer of Game of Thrones in the early 2000s. For four years they met. Now the couple is raising three children. A year after the wedding, a girl was born. Her happy parents named her Frances. In 2010 - Molly. In 2014, photos of Pete, again expecting a baby, appeared on the pages of glossy magazines.

In December, a long-awaited son was born. The boy was named Henry. Children have their father's real name. David Friedman is the name given to Pete's husband at birth. At the beginning of his career, the screenwriter took his mother's surname as a pseudonym. Friends of the 9 Yards Star - Sarah Paulson, Peter Dinklage.

The union of actress and producer is strong, which is rare in Hollywood. Journalists specializing in the personal life of stars tried in vain to find incriminating information about the Benioff-Peet couple. Pete once jokingly announced in an interview that she would get a divorce in Benioff because she did not like the plot twists he created in Game of Thrones. It seems that in a famous family, quarrels occur solely on the basis of creative differences.

In April 2017, the first episode of "Blockmire" was released, in which one of the leading roles is played by Pete. The project was successful. A second season is expected to be released in 2018. "Blockmire" is the only project in which the actress is involved today.

In 2015, Pete published a book on a Christmas theme. It is not known whether she plans to continue writing prose for children.

The actress, who celebrated her 45th birthday in 2017, looks as irresistible today as she did at the beginning of her career. However, she is not a supporter of fast-acting cosmetic procedures. Pete, unlike other Hollywood stars, does not fight fiercely with aging, claiming that in this way he emphasizes his independence from the opinions of others.
