The talented movie actress, best known for her standout performances on screen, made a lasting impression with her role in the TV series Jack and Jill. She further solidified her place in Hollywood with a memorable appearance in The Whole Nine Yards, a performance that actually earned her a Blockbuster Entertainment Award for Favorite Supporting Actress—quite an achievement early in her career. Over the years, she’s continued to build an impressive filmography, taking on roles in romantic favorites like A Lot Like Love and Something’s Gotta Give, both of which showcased her range and charm as an actress.

Since 2017, she has been a central figure in the IFC comedy series Brockmire, bringing depth and humor to the role and earning praise from fans and critics alike.

Her on-screen debut came in 1995 with the film Animal Room, marking the beginning of what would become a steady and respected career in entertainment.

On a more personal note, the actress married writer and producer David Benioff in September 2006. The couple has since grown their family, welcoming their first daughter, Frances, in 2007, followed by a second daughter, Molly, in 2010, and their son, Henry, in 2014. Balancing motherhood with a thriving acting career, she continues to be a compelling presence both on and off the screen.
