Her mother passed in 2025 due to Parkinson's disease.
This gets the year wrong: reporting in 2026 says Peet's mother Penny died in January 2026, not 2025.
Full reasoning
Recent reporting about Amanda Peet's family losses places her father's death in 2025 and her mother's death in January 2026.
- In The Daily Beast on April 15, 2026, Peet's family timeline is summarized this way: "Her father, Charles, died in 2025, and her mother, Penny, died in January of this year." Because that article was published in 2026, "this year" means 2026.
- Peet's own March 21, 2026 essay in The New Yorker also describes her mother's final decline continuing past her father's 2025 death and into mid-January, when the hospice nurse told Peet to call the mortuary.
So the sentence is inaccurate at least on the year of her mother's death: the available reporting says January 2026, not 2025.

In mid-January, two weeks after my first clear scan, our hospice nurse suggested that I call the mortuary.
In 2021, she wrote and co-executive produced The Chair for Netflix.
Peet's credit on The Chair was executive producer, not co-executive producer.
Full reasoning
Netflix's own media materials describe Amanda Peet's role on The Chair as writer, showrunner and executive producer.
That matters because executive producer and co-executive producer are distinct credits. The official Netflix Media Center page does not list Peet as a co-executive producer; it says she was an executive producer.
