At home, Mann can hold her own with her equally talented family.
Shemarried filmmaker Judd Apatowin 1997, and the couple hastwo daughters,MaudeandIris.
Fresh out of high school, she enrolled in an acting class.
Here is the untold truth about the woman who always knows how to make us laugh.
Apatow toldVanity Fairthat the best thing about making blockbusters likeThis Is 40is working on scenes with his creative wife.
However, like most couples, it’s not all laughs for the pair.
“I don’t find Judd that funny,” she said.
Soon enough, Mann booked some work, including an obscure nail polish commercial.
In 1991, she landedher first movie gig, playing a high school student inVirgin High.
“I was in my early-20s and wasn’t attracted to nice boys,” she toldABC News.
The lovebirds' first date included a basketball game, dinner, and a movie.
Mann’s extended family includes three older stepbrothers.
As for her father, Mann acknowledges that he was never a part of her life.
“My dad is…
I don’t really have one.
I mean, he does exist, but I have zero relationship with him,” she toldElle.
“Is that a lie I tell myself?”
“It was definitely my choice.

It was during her time in acting school that the starlet quickly became aware of her comedic side.
This made her realize that her acting path would take a new direction.

“I had a nervous breakdown,” she toldUSA Today.
“I look at myself and things look different.
My skin looks different.
My elbows, I have weird skin on my elbows I never had before.
I have more wrinkles.”
She toldEllethat it resulted in her beginning to think about her life and place in the world.
“It’s a little scary,” she admitted.
“We talk about what we’re struggling with, what we’re trying to accomplish.
