In January 2016, The Cable Guy actress Leslie Mann stole the spotlight from her husband, Judd Apatow, as the two posed together on the blue carpet at the 21st Annual Critics’ Choice Awards at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.

The then 43-year-old actress was on hand to support her producer/director husband, whose movie “Trainwreck” was nominated for Best Comedy. Amy Schumer and Bill Hader were also nominated for their work on the film.
“I remember when we shot The Cable Guy she kissed Matthew Broderick, and then when they parted I saw in the dailies there was like a spit string that connected them for like a foot,” Apatow told Alec Baldwin on his WNYC Podcast, Here’s the Thing.

In 2012, Elle Magazine named Leslie “Hollywood’s Queen of Comedy.” But at the awards show, she was more like a ballerina princess in a black strapless dress by Monique Lhuillier.
