Leslie Mann


            How do you make your wife happy? You cast her in your show. That’s what Judd Apatow did in one episode of Freaks and Geeks. Leslie Mann plays Ms. Foote, Bill’s teacher who he tells all of his allergies to. It’s a pretty weird story line out of context, but nevertheless Leslie Mann was in it and it was important to the show. 


             Leslie Mann started acting when she was 18 in commercials.  Mann has been in a lot of Apatow productions: Knocked Up, Funny People, and most recently, This is 40. These three included her two daughters: Iris and Maude. 



She doesn’t just work with her family though. Her other roles include I Love You Phillip Morris, The Change-Up and 17 Again. Mann was nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy by the Broadcast Film Critics Association.


 
            This year Mann will appear in Sophia Coppala’s The Bling Ring, which stars Emma Watson. The film is based on true events and follows a group of teenagers who steal from celebrities. Mann plays a mother of one of the teenagers.
