Redhead Amy Adams burst onto Hollywood's radar as Leonardo DiCaprio's fiancée in 2002's Catch Me If You Can, nabbed Oscar acclaim with the 2005 indie Junebug, and cashed-in at the box office as the half-animated Disney princess Giselle in 2007's Enchanted.
Born in Italy and raised in Colorado, Adams won a small role in the 1999 beauty pageant spoof, Drop Dead Gorgeous, where costar Kirstie Alley encouraged the newbie to pursue acting in Hollywood. Since then, Adams, who has plans to marry actor Darren Le Gallo, earned her second Academy Award nomination for Doubt.
