Amy Adams: biography, filmography and the personal life of the actress (photo)

Amy Adams (full name Amy Lou Adams), film actress, superstar of Hollywood, was born on August 20, 1974 in the Italian city of Vicenza.

Film debates with Amy took place in 1999 in the comedy "The Killer Beauty" directed by Michael Patrick Giann. Adams Amy, whose height does not exceed 163 cm (and it almost got in her way), was played by one of the participants of the beauty contest, Leslie Miller. Then for several years, Adams participated in various TV projects, performing secondary roles. However, in 2002, the actress got a role that brought her closer to the upper step of the cinema art. Her character - Brenda Strong in the detective comedy "Catch Me If You Can" - demanded a thoughtful attitude to the image, and Adams coped with its task. Among other things, the young actress was inspired by the presence on the set of stars such as Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Sheen, as well as Steven Spielberg, the director of the film.

Fame

True fame Amy Adams received after the release of the film "June Beetle" directed by Phil Maurisson. This is a picture with a lot of characters collected in one place, shot in the genre of sluggish family conflict and with a whole set of psychological delights. Amy got the lead role, she played Ashley Johnsten, the pregnant wife of one of the heroes of the film. For her brilliant performance, the actress received 7 awards from various associations and four nominations, one of which was for Oscar. The next main role of Amy Adams, the filmography of which gradually began to replenish, played in the movie "Enchanted" director Kevin Lim in 2007. The picture is shot in the genre of a musical fantasy. Amy played fairy princess Giselle, who by the will of circumstances gets to the center of the bustling New York. For a faithfully played image, Giselle Adams was nominated for the Golden Globe.

Merry Role

In each of her work, Amy tried to make a note of cheerfulness and fun, why she had the reputation of a cheerful, reckless actress. However, in 2008, Adams played a far from ridiculous role in the film "Doubt". She had to be reincarnated as a sister of charity named James, one of the teachers of the Catholic parish school in New York, who suspected the priest of corrupting the disciples and decided to conduct her own investigation to bring the unscrupulous minister of the church to the clean water. For the role of Sister James Amy Adams was once again nominated for an Oscar and Golden Globe.

Disputes about the actress

When the movie "Night at the Museum" with Ben Stiller and Amy Adams starred in 2009, a real fight of opinions began around Amelia Earhart's character in Amy's performance. And although critics are not averse to arguing, whenever and for any reason, this time there are obvious contradictions. The first to have a positive opinion about the game Adams expressed Michael Phillips from the newspaper Chicago Tribune. If you translate it verbatim, it turns out: "... the film changes with the appearance of Amy Adams as the pilot Amelia Earhart, from her splendor the screen begins to sparkle ...". Journalist Ty Barren of the Boston Globe newspaper said: "... Erhart in the performance of Adams - this is not a serious bore, absolutely not adequate to reality ...". Lael Lowvelstein of Variety said that the actress is "too diligent". Director Sean Levy noted that, in his opinion, in Hollywood today there is no actress better than Amy Adams. Who else in one year can master roles in three very difficult films - "Night at the Museum", "Doubt" and "Julie and Julia"? The girl's acting range is unlimited, and the films with Amy Adams are in high demand.

Irish customs

In the romantic comedy "How to marry three days" directed by Anand Tucker, Amy played the main role, American Anna Brady, who set out to use for her own purposes the date of February 29. 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 was prolonged.

Lois Lane

The film "Fighter", shot in 2010 by David O. Russell, in which Amy Adams played Charlene Fleming, the girlfriend of boxer Mickey Ward, brought the actress the next nominations for Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA.

In 2012, Amy played the role of Peggy Dodd, the expansive wife of the creator of the religious movement "Origins" Lancaster Dodd. Again, for her acting skills, Adams was awarded the next nominations for Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe. And before the project "Fighter" Amy gave her consent to participate in the filming of the movie "Superman: A Man of Steel," where she was to appear as Lois Lane, Superman's girlfriend. As the producer of the picture Christopher Nolan assured , and then Zak Snyder also supported him in this , he can not find the best Lois. The role of Lane auditioned nine Hollywood actresses, ranging from Rachel McAdams and ending with Mila Kunis, but, as noted Snyder, Lois Lane will be able to play only Amy Adams. Her participation in the project is getting into the top ten.

Theater in the Central Park

In the summer of 2012, Amy Adams, whose filmography was already extensive, curtsied in the direction of the theatrical scene, playing the role of Baker's wife in the musical performance "In the Woods", which was timed to coincide with the Shakespeare in the Park festival. This creative festival takes place annually in the Central Park of New York, at the Delacorte Theater. Because of the bad weather, the performance scheduled for July 23, had to be postponed, but the next day the musical was held. The actress was very happy in the new role and decided to participate in the park theatrical performances every year.

Personal life

Superstar Amy Adams, whose biography does not contain pages of personal or intimate character, never advertises her acquaintances. Although it does not hide them, first of all, because there is nothing to hide. Adams love novels can be counted on the fingers of one hand. In her life, cinema was always the first place, and only then, in her spare time, she could afford something. Amy Adams, whose photo on the covers of glossy magazines attracts hundreds of male fans, however, always led a rather closed way of life.

In the spring of 2008, the actress announced an engagement with Darren Le Gallo, an actor and artist. They met in 2001, at the courses of acting, and married many years later. In May 2010, the couple had a daughter, whom they named Avian Olea Le Gallo.
