All There Is with Anderson Cooper · Amanda Peet: ‘There’s No Algorithm For Grief’ · 12 Jun 2026 podcast

She's been in films like The Whole Nine Yards and Something's Gotta Give.

She's currently starring in Your Friends and Neighbors on Apple TV+.

Amanda grew up here in New York City with her sister, Alyssa, who's a doctor, her mom, Penny, who's a psychotherapist, social worker, and her dad, Charles, who was a lawyer.

Amanda has three kids now with her husband, David Benioff, who's probably best known for co-creating the TV series Game of Thrones.

In late August of 2025, Amanda was diagnosed with breast cancer.

The following day, her father died and her mom died some four months later.

I read a moving essay that Amanda wrote in The New Yorker about what happened called My Season of Ativan.

We reached out to her and she kindly agreed to talk with me about it.

Thank you so much for doing this.

Can you talk a little bit about the diagnosis that you got?

How long had your dad been sick for?

By the time you got to your dad's place, he had died.

Your sister was, who's a doctor.

These people showed up.

You described them as like the Blues Brothers dressed in dark suits and with a body bag.

Had you felt that before?

I want to ask you about a couple of specific things you wrote about.

You talked about your sister weeping, seeing your father's body, and you didn't.

You said, I just stood there in a state of morbid fascination.

I had never seen a dead body up close before, let alone someone so familiar to me.
