Amanda Peet has been doing well since being diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer in 2025.
“I’m doing really well,” the actress told Page Six on Thursday at the Cinema Society’s “Fantasy Life” screening in New York.
She said she learned of her cancer while her parents were in hospice, adding that she had been through “a lot” during that time.
Pete, 54, wrote about his challenge in a New Yorker article earlier this month, explaining to Us that “writing on paper helped.”
Pete lost his father in the fall, just before he learned his diagnosis, and his mother in January 2026.
After undergoing a lumpectomy and radiation therapy, Pete is back working on his latest work project.
In Fantasy Life, she plays a woman in a turbulent marriage who develops a relationship with her daughter’s male nanny.
Pete, who has three children with husband David Benioff, said she was drawn to the film because of the script.
“I love the script,” she explained of the film, which was written and directed by co-star Matthew Shea.
“It reminded me of old New York movies from the ’70s. I think he had a very specific New York Jewish sense of humor and was very simpatico with me. So within 15 pages, I knew I wanted to do this movie, even if I was playing a shop girl or something.”
Pete also plays Jon Hamm’s ex-wife in the second season of “Your Friends and Neighbors,” which will be released on Apple TV+ on April 3.
On the show, Pete’s character has an affair with hunky co-star Mark Tolman.
“It’s not normal and it’s really weird,” she says with a laugh, about working with two very attractive men. “That’s insane. And now we’re adding James Marsden!”
Marsden joined the latest season as Owen Ash, a new neighbor who poses a threat to Hamm’s character.
Andrea Martin, Zosia Mamet, Peter Dinklage, Diane Lane and Tolman were all featured in bold at the screening and afterparty at West Village hotspot Déjà Vu.
