10 things you never knew about Adams
|
1. Amy Adams was born to parents Kathryn and Richard in Vicenza, Italy in 1974. She was raised with six siblings in Castle Rock, Colorado.
2. During her youth, Adams didn't dream of the silver screen - she wanted to be a ballerina! She preferred to focus on her school choir activities and dance company apprenticeship rather than on her education. "I trained as a ballet dancer, and so that's what I always thought I was going to do," she says. "But as I got into dance, I realised dance didn't really fit me. My personality goes better with musical theatre. Ballet dancing was too disciplined, really straining. And I was always talking and smiling."
3. Adams famously worked as a hostess in a branch of notorious US chain Hooters as her first full-time job. She earned $7-an-hour, but admits that she wasn't fully aware of the sexualised nature of her work. "There was definitely an innocence to my interpretation of what Hooters was about," she said. "Though I did learn, quickly, that short shorts and beer don't mix! The nicest guy walking in is not necessarily the nicest guy after two pitchers of beer."
