"I like Cinderella, I really do. She has a good work
ethic. I appreciate a good, hard-working gal.
And she likes shoes. The fairy tale is all about the shoe at the end, and I'm a big shoe girl."
And she likes shoes. The fairy tale is all about the shoe at the end, and I'm a big shoe girl."
An actress with a knack for light comedy, Amy Adams was born in Italy
and raised in Castle Rock, Colorado. After high school, she studied
dance and worked in regional dinner theater until age 20, when she moved
to Minnesota with her family after being spotted by a visiting
Minneapolis producer and recruited to work in his dinner theater there.
She landed her first film role in the satiric 1999 comedy Drop Dead Gorgeous, which was, appropriately enough, set in Minnesota. After appearing in the independent comedy Psycho Beach Party, Adams made guest appearances on a number of television series, including That 70s Show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and The West Wing; she was also cast as a regular in Manchester Prep, a TV spin-off of the hit film Cruel Intentions.
Manchester Prep, however, was never aired when its network decided that
the show's sexual content was too strong for television, although
several episodes were eventually re-edited into a direct-to-video
feature entitled Cruel_Intentions 2.
2002 proved to be a very busy year for Adams, who appeared in no fewer
than four features, including the eagerly anticipated Catch Me if You
Can, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks.
"I'm one of seven kids. That'll keep your ego in check."
" I'm pretty Sicilian if I've been crossed. I don't
seek revenge, but I never forget.
And I make it hard to repair, which is
not a great quality because if people held me to that standard, no one
would be around me - ever."

"When I died my hair red the first time, I felt as if
it was what nature intended.
I have been accused of being a bit of a
spitfire, so in that way, I absolutely live up to the stereotype. The
red hair suits my personality. I was a terrible blonde!"
"How I work is I work from of very character-driven place. And I trust the writers."
