Amanda Peet - Always Sexy
Amanda Peet has done what few who seek out Tinseltown achieve. Yes she made it.
It seems easy enough; you audition, you scream a little, cry a little, get the part, and cash in your millions, right? We all know better, and Amanda can attest to that bunk theory, thanks to a Hollywood experience that began less than glamorously.
After appearing in a dozen independent movies, her autograph was amazingly still not in demand. But a lucky break as a last-minute replacement for Amelia Heinle, landed her on the WB show Jack & Jill. Interestingly enough, she plays Jack (yet she played wacky dental hygienist Jill St. Claire, in The Whole Nine Yards), and although Amanda’s relatives seem to be the only ones watching the show, she has been getting critical raves for her charismatic performance.
Those who saw The Whole Nine Yards with Bruce Willis and Matthew Perry, left the movie theater with an indefinable impression of Miss Peet. Was she a crazed woman with a passion for violence and getting naked in front of people, or was she a sweet and amiable professional? Well, a little bit of both, and that suits the New York native just fine, who said uniqueness was never a flaw. Â
