Personal Life
Mann is married to producer Judd Apatow, with whom she has two daughters, Iris and Maude. The family currently resides in Los Angeles.
In 1995 Mann auditioned for Ben Stiller’s The Cable Guy (1996). Stiller needed a stand in for Jim Carrey during film auditions and the job fell to writer/producer Apatow, who read with all actresses including Mann. The reading was the couple’s first meeting, however it was not until The 40-Year-Old Virgin, almost 10 years later, that she and Apatow first collaborated professionally in film.
Mann and Apatow's daughters Iris and Maude appeared in the films Knocked Up, Funny People and This is 40 as the children of Mann's characters.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Like their personal lives, women’s history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“What was any art but an effort to make a sheath, a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining, elusive element which is life itself—life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose?”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
