Amy Adams - Biography

Amy Adams' early life

Amy Lou Adams was born August 20, 1974 in Vicenza, Italy. The future Junebug star's dad Richard Adams was stationed in Italy with the US Army, hence her birth overseas. Part of a big family which consisted of four boys and three girls, Amy only settled in Castle Rock, Colorado after eight years of being stationed across the world with her parents and siblings. 

Performing is clearly in Amy's blood - her father sang professionally in restaurants, meanwhile her mother Kathryn was once a semi-professional bodybuilder. Amy was raised a Mormon – although her family left the church after her parents divorced when she was 11 years old. 

Performing talent

At school Amy took up ballet and went on to eschew college in favor of musical theatre. The Enchanted star began her career working as a dancer in a Minneapolis dinner theatre, but after three years was forced to quit when a pulled muscle put her out of action. It was then that she attended her first audition, which was for a part in the 1999 comedy Drop Dead Gorgeous.
