Actress Amanda Peet recently shared her sentimental feelings about Bruce Willis and the filming experience of "The Whole Nine Yards." The crime comedy, released in 2000, marked a significant career moment for Peet when Willis handpicked her for the role of Jill St. Claire.
Peet, who was then primarily appearing in television shows like "Law & Order," recalled being one of 20 actresses vying for the part during the final callback.
