Amy Adams (full name Amy Lou Adams), film actress, Hollywood superstar, was born on August 20, 1974 in the Italian city of Vicenza.
Amy's film debut took place in 1999 in the comedy "Murderous Beauties" directed by Michael Patrick Jann. Adams Amy, whose height does not exceed 163 cm (and this almost prevented her), played one of the participants in the beauty contest, Leslie Miller. Then, for several years, Adams participated in various television projects, playing secondary roles. However, in 2002, the actress got a role that brought her closer to the top rung of cinema. Her character - Brenda Strong in the detective comedy "Catch Me If You Can" - demanded a thoughtful attitude to the image, and Adams coped with her task. Among other things, the young actress was inspired by the presence on the set of such stars as Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Sheen, as well as Stephen Spielberg himself - the director of the film.
Fame
Amy Adams got real fame after the release of the movie “The June Beetle” directed by Phil Morisson. This is a picture with many characters gathered in one place, shot in the genre of a sluggish family conflict and with a whole set of psychological delights. Amy got the main role, she played Ashley Johnsten, the pregnant wife of one of the heroes of the film. For brilliant performance, the actress received 7 awards from various associations and four nominations, one of which was at the Oscars. The next major role, Amy Adams, whose filmography was slowly starting to replenish, was played in the film “Charmed” by director Kevin Lim in 2007. The picture was shot in the musical fantasy genre. Amy played the fabulous princess Giselle, who, by chance, gets into the center of bustling New York. For a faithfully played image, Gisele Adams was nominated for a Golden Globe.
Fun Role
Amy tried to bring a note of cheerfulness and fun into each of her work, which is why her reputation of a cheerful, reckless actress was entrenched in her. However, in 2008, Adams played a far from ridiculous role in the film Doubt. She had to reincarnate as a sister of mercy named James, one of the teachers in the Catholic parish school in New York, who suspected the priest of molesting her students and decided to conduct her own investigation in order to bring the unscrupulous minister of the church to clean water. For the role of sister James Amy Adams was once again nominated for an Oscar and Golden Globe.
Controversy surrounding the actress
When the movie "Night at the Museum" was released in 2009 with Ben Stiller and Amy Adams in the lead roles, a real battle of opinions began around the character Amelia Earhart performed by Amy. And although critics are not averse to arguing, whenever and for any reason, this time there were obvious contradictions. The first to have a positive opinion on the game was Adams expressed by Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune. If you translate it literally, it will turn out: "... the film is transformed with the advent of Amy Adams as the aviator Amelia Earhart, from her splendor the screen begins to sparkle ...". Journalist Ty Barren from the Boston Globe newspaper said: "... Earhart performed by Adams is a frivolous bore, absolutely not adequate to reality ...". Lael Lavelstein from Variety said the actress is "too diligent." Director
Sean Levy noted that, in his opinion, in Hollywood today there is no better actress than Amy Adams. Who else can master the roles in three very difficult films at once in one year - Night at the Museum, Doubt, and Julie and Julia? The acting range of the girl is unlimited, and films with Amy Adams are in high demand.
Irish customs
In the romantic comedy How to Marry in Three Days, directed by Anand Tucker, Amy played the main role, American Anna Brady, who intended to use the date of February 29 for her own purposes. On this day, a woman has the right to make an offer to her chosen one, and he will not be able to refuse. This custom applies only to England and Ireland. However, Anna did not succeed, due to the circumstances, her journey to the dream dragged on.
Lois lane
The 2010 film The Fighter, shot in 2010 by David O. Russell, in which Amy Adams was played by Charlene Fleming, girlfriend of boxer Mickey Ward, brought the actress another nominations for Oscars, Golden Globes and BAFTA.
In 2012, Amy played the role of Peggy Dodd, the expansive wife of the creator of the religious movement, Origins, of Lancaster Dodd. And again, for his acting skills, Adams was awarded the next Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations. And before the Fighter project, Amy gave her consent to participate in the filming of Superman. Man of Steel, where she was to appear as Lois Lane, Superman's friend. As the producer of the film Christopher Nolan assured , and then the director Zack Snyder supported him in this, they could not find the best Lois. Nine Hollywood actresses auditioned for the role of Lane, ranging from Rachel McAdams to Mila Kunis, but, as Snyder noted, Lois Lane can only be played by Amy Adams. Her participation in the project is getting into the top ten.
Theater in Central Park
In the summer of 2012, Amy Adams, whose filmography was already quite extensive, curtsied toward the theater stage, playing the role of Baker's wife in the musical play "In the Woods", which was dedicated to the Shakespeare in the Park festival. This creative festival takes place annually in the Central Park of New York, at the Delacorte Theater.
