Mae Whitman and Jane Levy on 8-Year Offscreen Friendship: "We're an Exact Yin and Yang"
Mae Whitman and Jane Levy, who met via mutual friends on a night out at Los Feliz mainstay the Dresden, have shared many adventures as best friends of eight years, and in February they became neighbors (on NBC's Sunday night lineup, that is) as Levy's musical dramedy Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist led into the third-season premiere of Whitman's Good Girls. The new seasons of their shows involved major challenges for both: Levy, 30, performed six musical numbers in a single 42-minute episode, while former child star Whitman, 31, was planning to direct for the first time (though her episode was shelved due to the pandemic).
