built 657 days ago
A professional slacker Zach Braff is forced to get a real job when his pregnant wife Amanda Peet exits the workforce. Making matters worse is that the only job he can get is to work for his demanding father in law.

Amanda began studying acting more as a hobby than anything else. It was while she was majoring in history at Columbia University, that 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".

Amanda brought her 2-month-old baby girl Frances Pen with her on the plane. Unfortunately for Amanda it was one of “those” nightmare flights where she had to walk Frances up and down the aisle while alternately carrying her in a sling or Baby Bjorn. As parents we’ve all been there. Breastfeeding can make all the difference though — remember “Traveling with a First Class Nursling”?

After starring in director Neil Turitz's debut Two Ninas, Peet landed a leading role in Peter M. Cohen's independent comedy Whipped. While the film itself performed dismally, Peet met her boyfriend, Brian Van Holt, on the set. Despite it's independent status, Whipped was given a solid amount of mainstream marketing, and Peet was praised for a game performance in the face of an admittedly weak script.

In 2002, Peet was seen in High Crimes, alongside Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd and "Changing Lanes" opposite Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Affleck and Sydney Pollack. That same year, she appeared as Jeff Goldblum's mistress, a beautiful and privileged young woman who is hooked on drugs, in Igby Goes Down.

To liven up Peet's medium-brown tresses Mills-Whitlock clipped in five pieces of the lightest blond hair she could find. "I wanted her hair to be funky, but not too colorful or overdone," she says. "Her outfits were already pretty jazzy." After applying a little styling spray, Mills-Whitlock crunched hair with her hands then used her finger to draw a slightly imperfect center part. To create Peet's "twisty turvy" updo, she merely put hair into a "messy" ponytail by partially pulling it through the elastic band so it fanned out below. "It's so simple," she says.
