Dominating the theatre and Broadway scene and receiving numerous accolades, Amanda Plummer was one of the 3 actors to ever receive 2 Tony Award nominations in the same year. During her career, Amanda Plummer have worked alongside other legends such as Robin Williams, Geraldine Page, Peter O’Toole, Jessica Tandy, Harvey Keitel, Aidan Quinn, Reese Witherspoon, Mike Myers and Vanessa Redgrave. In 1988, Amanda was furthermore the award recipient for Woman of Achievement.
Having worked with Directors Terry Gilliam, Sidney Lumet, Peter Greenaway, and Sam Shepard, it was Quentin Tarantino who will eventually write for her the role of “Honey-Bunny.” In a memorable scene of “Pulp Fiction,” along with her partner-in-screen-crime, Tim Roth, the outlaw lovers held up a diner in a robbery attempt.
Her film roles have once been described by the San Diego Union-Tribune as "spooky, kooky, half-mad characters,” but with 1,001 Ways to Enjoy the Missionary Position Amanda Plummer’s depiction of a woman’s exploration into the pain, joys and desires of a long frozen marriage resonates with powerful truth.
