 Amanda Peet Biography
While the film was disappointingly executed, Peet's performance as the down-to-earth Jane (again opposite Flanery) made the character especially relatable, and gave audiences a peek at her notable acting capabilities.
In 2002, Peet played a considerably less vicious wife in "Changing Lanes" with Ben Affleck and Samuel L. Jackson, and won no small amount of praise for her performance as the heroin-addled mistress of Kieran Culkin's character's godfather in "Igby Goes Down".
Peet would go on to star opposite film veterans Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson in Nancy Meyers' "Something's Gotta Give", in which she stars as Nicholson's scandalously young girlfriend, as well as James Mangold's psychological thriller "Identity" with John Cusack.
