Actress Amanda Peet revealed on March 21 that she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, during what was an already difficult time in her life as her parents were both in hospice care.

In a recent essay she wrote for The New Yorker, Peet, 54, detailed how she learned of her diagnosis in the summer of 2025 and the overlapping grief she experienced with her divorced parents receiving end-of-life care on opposite coasts.
