She collaborated countless times with director Judd Apatow, although she was well established in Hollywood before marrying the successful figure.
Early Life: Leslie Jean Mann was born on March 26, 1972 in San Francisco, California. Raised with two brothers in Newport Beach by a successful businesswoman, Leslie was quite shy as a child. After graduating high school, Leslie began her acting journey at the Joanne Baron / DW Brown Acting Studio. During this time, she connected with an improvisational comedy troupe called “The Groundlings”. Although she initially tried to get a degree in communications in college, she dropped out in favor of a professional acting career.
Career: Career Leslie Mann’s acting career began when she was 18 years old. At first, he appeared in a string of TV commercials. Mann followed that up with a memorable performance in The Cable Guy alongside Ben Stiller, Matthew Broderick and Jim Carrey. The film left critics scratching their heads, but performed strongly at the box office, earning over $102 million. It also became a cult classic in later years.
After making a name for herself in the film world, Mann next focused on establishing herself in the television industry with ‘Freaks & Geeks’. A year earlier, she had met her future husband, Judd Apatow, for the first time. “Freaks & Geeks” was a major critical hit, but was canceled after a relatively short run. Leslie’s next major project was the 1997 film George of the Jungle opposite Brendan Fraser.
In 1999, Mann co-starred with Adam Sandler in the film Big Daddy. The film was a major box office success, grossing $234.8 million while receiving mostly poor reviews from critics. In the following period, she appeared in several comedies “Orange County” and “The 40-Year-Old Virgin”, the latter of which grossed $177.4 million and received solid.

In addition, Leslie has been singled out for praise by critics and has been nominated for a number of awards. In 2009, she once again demonstrated her comedic instincts after a performance in Adam Sandler’s film Funny People. The film was considered by many to be one of the best films of the year.

In 2011, Leslie joined actors Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman in The Change-Up.

Mann continued his voice acting career in this endeavor with a role in the animated series “Allen Gregory”. He also voiced another character in the 2012 stop-motion film ParaNorman. That year, she appeared alongside Rudd once more in This Is 40, the sequel to Knocked Up. This time, Mann played the lead role. The next year, she followed it up with “The Bling Ring” opposite Emma Watson. In 2014, she narrated an episode of Makers: Women Who Make America.

Relations: Leslie Mann met Judd Apatow while auditioning for “The Cable Guy.” The couple married in 1997 and had two children throughout their relationship. Both their daughters got involved in the world of entertainment as actors in films and commercials.
Real Estate: Together with her husband, Leslie owns several million dollar properties in the United States. The couple’s first date was in 2003, when they purchased a 6,018-square-foot property in Pacific Palisades, a well-to-do and desirable neighborhood in Los Angeles. After paying $4.474 million for the residence, Apatow and Mann sold it in 2010 for $6.495 million.
Not long after, they bought a smaller house in Beverly Hills for $1.656 million. Many have assumed this is a real estate investment. In 2009, the couple rented the home of Marty Adelstein, a well-known TV producer. The Hollywood couple managed to price the property for $18.25 million, despite its $20 million listing price. Also in 2009, Leslie and Judd reportedly bought a vacation home in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii for $4.9 million.
In 2013, Leslie and her husband listed their sprawling 2,550-square-foot residence in Malibu for $10.825 million. The Beach House was originally built in the 1930s – a great decade for architecture. Unfortunately, something just didn’t sit right with the couple, and in 2015 they put it back on the market — hoping to flip it for $12 million and turn a substantial profit. In 2013, it was also reported that Mann and Judd improved a vacant lot in Santa Monica for $8.6 million. The assumption was that the power couple planned to create a custom home on the land.
In 2018, Judd and Mann purchased another separate residence in Santa Monica for $14.5 million. Boasting 8,000 square feet and two private elevators, the state house is Hollywood’s ultimate luxury. It was also once owned by legendary actor William Holden. The final layout includes its own roof terrace, which spans 2,000 square meters.
