celebrities - Amanda Peet

Amanda Peet

Amanda Peet (January 11, 1972-) is an American motion picture actress.

Born in New York to a Quaker father and Jewish mother, Peet attended Friends Seminary with Liev Schreiber and studied history at Columbia University, where she auditioned for acting teacher Uta Hagen. During her 4-year period of study with Hagen, Peet appeared in the off-Broadway revival of Clifford Odets' Awake and Sing.

Her first screen performance was a television commercial for Skittles. Her early roles included a guest starring role on Law & Order, and she made her film debut in 1995, in Animal Room. Peet maintained a steady acting career in relatively obscure indie movies.

Her first major role was as "Jack" in the 1999 TV series Jack & Jill which aired for two seasons. Her first wide-release feature film came in 2000, with The Whole Nine Yards, opposite Bruce Willis, elevating her status from supporting actress to lead.

In 2000, she was voted one of the 50 Most Beautiful People by People Magazine.

She is currently engaged to actor/writer David Benioff. (July 22, 2005)

celebrities - Ashley Judd

Ashley Judd

Ashley Judd (born April 19, 1968 in Granada Hills, California) is an American actress. Her father is Michael Ciminella and her mother and sister are country singers, Naomi Judd and Wynonna Judd, respectively. Her birth name is Ashley Tyler Ciminella.

Early years

Her early years were without the comforts of what can be considered the bare necessities, such as running water, electricity, or a telephone.

She attended 12 schools in 13 years before college. She Left the University of Kentucky a semester short of a bachelor's degree in French in 1990.

Actress

Her television appearances include the role of Lieutenant Robin Lefler, a Starfleet officer, in two 1991 episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and the part of Swoosie Kurtz's daughter on the first season of the NBC drama Sisters.

Her film debut was a small part in Kuffs (1992) and her first major role was in Ruby in Paradise (1993), a hit independent drama. She had a role in Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers, but all the scenes she played in were cut from the final version of the film.

She found further critical acclaim in Smoke (1995) and publicity in Heat (1995).

By the end of the 1990s she managed to achieve significant fame and success as an actress. As a respected actor, she began to be offered leading roles in films that were bound to be successful at the box office, but still required acting skills, like Double Jeopardy (1999) and Someone Like You (2001).

Personal life

Whenever her schedule allows, she regularly attends UK basketball games, frequently sitting next to Donna Smith (wife of UK Coach Tubby Smith), or in the student section. She allowed her alma mater to release a calendar of her photos to help raise money for the sports programs. She is frequently sought out for celebrity camera shots during televised games (much like Jack Nicholson with the Los Angeles Lakers or Spike Lee with the New York Knicks).

She married Scottish Indy Racing League driver Dario Franchitti at Skibo Castle near Dornoch, Scotland in 2001.
