Amanda Peet: Running Wild

As her alter ego Jacqueline Barrett on the prime-time drama "Jack & Jill," actress Amanda Peet plays a high-maintenance Manhattanite who secretly pines after her handsome neighbor. She recently had attention-grabbing supporting roles in both Isn't She Great, opposite Bette Midler, and The Whole Nine Yards, opposite Bruce Willis. In her upcoming film Whipped, the 28-year-old Peet portrays an urban vixen who captures the attentions of three best friends, one of whom is played by her real-life boyfriend, Brian Van Holt. When we let the New York City native loose in Malibu Canyon wearing spring's light, naturalistic dresses, she revealed a wild, earthy side we didn't know she had.
