Adams began her career as a dancer in
dinner theater
, which she pursued from 1994 to 1998, and made her film debut with a supporting part in the dark comedy
Drop Dead Gorgeous
(1999). She made guest appearances in television and took on "mean girl" parts in low-budget feature films. Her first major role was in
Steven Spielberg
's biopic
Catch Me If You Can
(2002), but she was unemployed for a year afterward. Her breakthrough came when she portrayed a loquacious pregnant woman in the independent comedy-drama
Junebug
(2005), for which she received her first Academy Award nomination.
The musical fantasy film
Enchanted
(2007), where Adams played a cheerful princess-to-be, was her first success as a leading lady. She followed it by playing other naive, optimistic women in films like the drama
Doubt
(2008), and subsequently played more assertive parts to positive reviews in the sports film
The Fighter
(2010) and the psychological drama
The Master
(2012). From 2013 to 2017, she portrayed
Lois Lane
in superhero films set in the
DC Extended Universe

(2013) and painter
Margaret Keane
in the biopic

Arrival
(2016), a self-harming reporter in the
HBO

(2018).
Adams' stage roles include the
Public Theater

Into the Woods
in 2012 and the
West End theatre
revival of
The Glass Menagerie
in 2022. In 2014, she was named one of the
100 most influential people in the world
by
Time

Forbes
Celebrity 100
list.
Early life
Adams was born on August 20, 1974
[1]
in
Aviano
, Italy,
[2]
to American parents Kathryn and Richard Adams, while her father was serving for the
U.S. Army
.
[3]
[4]
She has four brothers and two sisters.
[5]
After moving from one army base to another, she and her family settled in
Castle Rock, Colorado
when she was eight.
[4]
After leaving the army, her father sang professionally in nightclubs and restaurants.
[5]
[6]
Adams has described going to her father's shows and drinking
Shirley Temples
at the bar as among her fondest childhood memories.
[7]
The family was poor; they camped and hiked together, and performed amateur skits written by her father or sometimes by her mother.
[4]
[6]
[8]
Adams was enthusiastic about the plays and always played the lead.
[9]
Adams was raised as a
Mormon
until her parents divorced in 1985 and left the church.
[6]
[10]
She did not have strong religious beliefs, but has said that she valued her upbringing for teaching her love and compassion.
[5]
After the breakup, her father moved to
Arizona
and remarried, while the children remained with their mother.
[4]
[8]
Her mother became a semi-professional
bodybuilder
who took the children with her to the gym when she trained.
[6]
[8]
Adams has compared her uninhibited early years with her siblings to
Lord of the Flies
.
[5]
Describing herself as a "scrappy, tough kid", she has said she fought frequently with other children.
[11]
Adams attended
Douglas County High School
. She was not academically inclined, but was interested in the creative arts and sang in the school choir. She competed in track and gymnastics, harbored ambitions of becoming a ballerina, and trained as an apprentice at the local David Taylor Dance Company.
[5]
[9]
She disliked high school and kept mostly to herself.
[6]
After graduation, she and her mother moved to
Atlanta
.
[6]
She did not go to college, to her parents' disappointment, and she later regretted not pursuing higher education.
[4]
[12]
At age 18, she realized she was not gifted enough to be a professional ballerina, and found musical theater more to her taste.
[5]
One of her first stage roles was in a community theater production of
Annie
, which she did as a volunteer.
[4]
To support herself, she worked as a greeter at a
Gap
store.
[9]
She also worked as a waitress at
Hooters
,
[6]
[13]
but left the job when she saved enough money to buy a used car.
[14]
Career
1994?2004: Dinner theater and early screen appearances
Adams began her professional career as a dancer in a 1994
dinner theater
production of
A Chorus Line
in
Boulder, Colorado
.
[4]
[15]
[16]
The job required her to wait on tables before getting up on stage to perform. She enjoyed singing and dancing, but disliked waitressing and ran into trouble when a fellow dancer, whom she considered a friend, made false accusations about her to the director.
[17]
Adams said, "I never really knew what the lies were. I only knew I kept getting called in and lectured about my lack of professionalism."
[4]
She lost the job but went on to perform in dinner theater at
Denver
's
Heritage Square Music Hall
and Country Dinner Playhouse.
[15]
During a performance of
Anything Goes
at the Country Dinner Playhouse in 1995, she was spotted by Michael Brindisi, the president and artistic director of the
Minneapolis
-based Chanhassen Dinner Theater, who offered her a job there.
[15]
[18]
Adams moved to
Chanhassen, Minnesota
, where she performed in the theater for the next three years.
[18]
She loved the "security and schedule" of the job, and has said that she learned tremendously from it.
[17]
[18]
Nonetheless, the grueling work took its toll on her: "I had a lot of recurring injuries?
bursitis
in my knees, pulled muscles in my groin, my adductor and abductor. My body was wearing out."
[14]
During her time at Chanhassen, Adams acted in her first film?a black-and-white short satire named
The Chromium Hook
.
[18]
Soon after, while she was off work nursing a pulled muscle, she attended the locally held auditions for the Hollywood film
Drop Dead Gorgeous
(1999), a satire on beauty pageants starring
Kirsten Dunst
,
Ellen Barkin
, and
Kirstie Alley
.
[4]
Adams was cast in the supporting part of a promiscuous cheerleader.
[5]
[9]
She felt that her character's personality was far removed from her own and worried about how people would perceive her.
[19]
The production was filmed locally, which enabled Adams to shoot for her role while also performing
Brigadoon
on stage.
[20]
Encouragement from Alley prompted Adams to actively pursue a film career, and she moved to Los Angeles in January 1999.
[14]
[18]
She described her initial experience in the city as "dark" and "bleak",
[5]
and she pined for her life back in Chanhassen.
[17]
In Los Angeles, Adams auditioned for whatever parts came her way, but she was mostly given roles of "the bitchy girl".
[14]
[19]
[20]
Her first assignment came within a week of her relocation in the
Fox
television series
Manchester Prep
, a spin-off of the film
Cruel Intentions
, in the lead role of
Kathryn Merteuil
(played by
Sarah Michelle Gellar
in the film).
[4]
Following numerous script revisions and two production shutdowns, the series was canceled.
[21]
Adams later said a controversial scene in which her character encourages a girl to masturbate on a horse was the primary reason for its cancellation.
[19]
The three filmed episodes were re-edited and released later in 2000 as the direct-to-video film
Cruel Intentions 2
.
[4]
Despite a negative critical reception, Nathan Rabin of
The A.V. Club
wrote that Adams plays her "alpha-bitch role with vicious glee largely missing from Sarah Michelle Gellar's sterile take on the character".
[22]
[23]
Adams next had a supporting role as the teenage nemesis of a movie star (played by
Kimberly Davies
) in
Psycho Beach Party
(2000), a horror parody of
beach party
and
slasher films
.
[24]
She played the part as a homage to actress
Ann-Margret
.
[25]
From 2000 to 2002, Adams appeared in guest roles in several television series, including
That '70s Show
,
Charmed
,
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
,
Smallville
, and
The West Wing
.
[26]
Following brief roles in three small-scale features of 2002?
The Slaughter Rule
,
Pumpkin
, and
Serving Sara
?Adams got her first major role in
Steven Spielberg
's comedy-drama
Catch Me If You Can
.
[13]
[27]
She played Brenda Strong, a nurse with whom
Frank Abagnale Jr.
(played by
Leonardo DiCaprio
) falls in love. Despite the film's success and praise for her "warm presence" from
Variety
critic
Todd McCarthy
, it failed to boost her career. She was unemployed for a year after its release, leading her to almost quit film acting.
[28]
[29]
Spielberg was surprised that she did not break through soon after the film's release.
[28]
Adams instead enrolled in acting classes, realizing that she had "a lot to learn and a lot of self-growth to work through".
[4]
[28]
Her career prospects seemingly improved a year later when she received a lucrative offer to star as a regular in the
CBS
television drama
Dr. Vegas
, but she was dropped after a few episodes.
[4]
In film, she only had a minor role in the
Fred Savage
-starring
The Last Run
(2004).
[30]
2005?2007: Breakthrough with
Junebug
and
Enchanted
Disillusioned by her firing from
Dr. Vegas
, Adams, aged 30, considered quitting acting altogether after completing work on the independent comedy-drama
Junebug
, which had a production budget of under $1 million.
[4]
[31]
Directed by
Phil Morrison
, the film featured her as Ashley Johnsten, a perky and talkative pregnant woman. Morrison was impressed with Adams's ability to not question her character's inherently good motives.
[32]
She connected with Johnsten's faith in God and spent time with Morrison in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina
, where the film is set, attending church.
[5]
She described making the film as "the summer I grew into myself", and after dyeing her hair red for the role, she decided not to go back to her natural blonde color.
[5]
Junebug
premiered at the 2005
Sundance Film Festival
, where Adams won a special jury prize.
[15]
Tim Robey of
The Daily Telegraph
labeled the film a "small, quiet miracle" and wrote that Adams had given "one of the most delicately funny and heartbreaking performances it's ever been my pleasure to review".
[33]
Ann Hornaday
of
The Washington Post
opined that her "radiant portrayal" reflected the film's "deeply humanist heart".
[34]
For her performance, Adams won the
Independent Spirit Award
and
Critics' Choice Award
for Best Supporting Actress, and received an
Academy Award
nomination in the same category.
[5]
[35]
[36]
Later in 2005, Adams had supporting parts in two critically panned films?the romantic comedy
The Wedding Date
, starring
Debra Messing
and
Dermot Mulroney
, and the ensemble coming-of-age film
Standing Still
.
[37]
[38]
Also that year, she joined the cast of the television series
The Office
, for a recurring role over three episodes.
[39]
In
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
(2006), a sports comedy from
Adam McKay
, Adams played the romantic interest of
Will Ferrell
's character, a role which critic
Peter Travers
deemed "quite a comedown" from her part in
Junebug
.
[40]
She also had a minor role in the workplace comedy
The Ex
, starring
Zach Braff
and
Amanda Peet
.
[41]
After voicing in
Walt Disney Pictures
' animated comedy film
Underdog
(2007), Adams starred as a highly optimistic and joyous character named
Giselle
, who is based on members of the
Disney Princess
franchise,
[42]
in the musical romantic comedy
Enchanted
.
[9]
[43]
Patrick Dempsey
and
James Marsden
co-starred as her romantic interests. She was among 250 actresses who auditioned for the high-profile role; the studio had favored the casting of a bigger star, but the director
Kevin Lima
insisted on Adams due to her commitment to the part and her ability to be nonjudgmental about Giselle's personality.
[44]
A ball gown she had to wear for the film weighed 45 pounds (20 kg), and she fell several times under its weight.
[42]
She sang three songs for the
film's soundtrack
?"
True Love's Kiss
", "
Happy Working Song
", and "
That's How You Know
".
[45]
The critic
Roger Ebert
commended Adams for being "fresh and winning" in a role that "absolutely depends on effortless lovability", and
Wesley Morris
of
The Boston Globe
credited her for "demonstrat[ing] a real performer's ingenuity for comic timing and physical eloquence".
[46]
[47]
Todd McCarthy considered it to be her breakthrough role and likened her rise to stardom to that of
Julie Andrews
.
[48]
Enchanted
was a commercial success, grossing over $340 million worldwide, and Adams was nominated for the
Golden Globe Award for Best Actress ? Motion Picture Comedy or Musical
.
[49]
[50]
Following the success of
Enchanted
, Adams took on the part of Bonnie Bach, Congressman
Charlie Wilson
's assistant in
Mike Nichols
' political comedy-drama
Charlie Wilson's War
(2007), starring
Tom Hanks
,
Julia Roberts
, and
Philip Seymour Hoffman
.
[51]
Kirk Honeycutt of
The Hollywood Reporter
credited Adams for being "sweetly savvy" in her part, while
Peter Bradshaw
of
The Guardian
was disappointed to see her talent wasted in a role he considered to be of minimal importance.
[52]
[53]
2008?2012: Ingenue parts and expansion to dramatic roles
The
2008 Sundance Film Festival
saw the release of
Sunshine Cleaning
, a comedy-drama about two sisters (played by Adams and
Emily Blunt
) who start a crime scene clean-up business. Adams was drawn to the idea of playing someone who constantly tries to better herself.
[54]
[55]
Mick LaSalle
of the
San Francisco Chronicle
found Adams to be "magical", adding that she "gives us a portrait of raging want beneath a veneer of surface diffidence".
[56]
In the 1939-set screwball comedy
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
, Adams starred as an aspiring American actress in London who encounters a middle-aged governess named Miss Pettigrew (played by
Frances McDormand
).
Stephen Holden
of
The New York Times
drew similarities to her role in
Enchanted
and wrote that the "screen magic" she displays in such endearing roles "hasn't been this intense since the heyday of
Jean Arthur
".
[57]
Adams next starred in
Doubt
, an adaptation of
John Patrick Shanley
's
play of the same name
. The film tells the story of a Catholic school principal (played by
Meryl Streep
) who accuses a priest, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, of
pedophilia
; she played an innocent nun embroiled in the conflict. Shanley initially approached
Natalie Portman
for the part, but offered Adams the role after finding her innocent, yet intelligent, personality similar to that of
Ingrid Bergman
.
[58]
She identified with her character's ability to find the best in people, and described her collaboration with Streep and Hoffman as a "master class" in acting.
[28]
[58]
Amy Biancolli of the
Houston Chronicle
wrote that Adams "sparks with distressed compassion", and Ann Hornaday believed that she "exudes just the right wide-eyed innocence".
[59]
[60]
She was nominated for the Academy Award,
Golden Globe Award
, and
BAFTA Award
for Best Supporting Actress.
[61]
[62]
[63]
As with
Junebug
and
Enchanted
, Adams's roles in her three 2008 releases were those of the ingenue?innocent women with a cheerful personality.
[14]
[54]
When asked about being
typecast
in such roles, she said she responds to characters who are joyful and identified with their sense of hope.
[64]
She believed that despite certain similarities in their disposition, these characters were vastly different from one another; she stated, "Naivete is not stupidity, and innocent people are often very complex."
[6]
[65]
The 2009 fantasy adventure film
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
, starring
Ben Stiller
, featured Adams as the aviator
Amelia Earhart
. It was the first motion picture to film inside the
National Air and Space Museum
in Washington.
[66]
The director
Shawn Levy
said the role allowed Adams to showcase her acting range; the actress believed it to be the first time she was allowed to play a confident character on screen.
[66]
[67]
Despite mixed reviews, Adams's performance was praised.
[68]
Terming her "a sparkling screen presence",
Michael Phillips
of the
Chicago Tribune
wrote that the film "radically improves whenever Amy Adams pops up".
[69]
That same year, Adams starred in the comedy-drama
Julie & Julia
as disgruntled government secretary
Julie Powell
who decides to blog about the recipes in
Julia Child
's cookbook
Mastering the Art of French Cooking
; in a parallel storyline, Meryl Streep portrays Child.
[70]
She enrolled at the
Institute of Culinary Education
to prepare for the part.
[71]
Carrie Rickey of
The Philadelphia Inquirer
thought the film was "as delicious as French cuisine" and found Adams to be "at her most winsome".
[72]
Both
Night at the Museum
and
Julie & Julia
were commercial successes, with the former grossing over $400 million.
[73]
Adams began the new decade with a leading role opposite
Matthew Goode
in the romantic comedy
Leap Year
(2010), which critic
Richard Roeper
believed was saved from "truly awful status" by Adams's presence.
[74]
Her next release of the year?the boxing drama
The Fighter
?was much better received. Directed by
David O. Russell
, the film tells the story of boxer half-brothers
Micky Ward
and
Dicky Eklund
(played by
Mark Wahlberg
and
Christian Bale
, respectively);
Melissa Leo
played their mother and Adams played Ward's aggressive girlfriend, a barmaid named Charlene Fleming. Describing her character as a "tough, sexy bitch", Russell cast Adams against type to rid her of her girl-next-door image.
[65]
[75]
The role marked a significant departure for her, and she was challenged by Russell's insistence on finding her character's strength in silence.
[76]
She enrolled in an exotic dance class by trainer
Sheila Kelley
to find her character's eroticism.
[75]
Joe Morgenstern
of
The Wall Street Journal
found Adams to be "as tough, tender, smart, and funny as she was ethereal and delightful in
Enchanted
. What an actress, and what range!"
[77]
She received Oscar, Golden Globe, and BAFTA nominations for Best Supporting Actress; she lost the former two to Leo.
[78]
[79]
[80]
She expressed a desire to play more dramatic roles in the future.
[81]
The Disney musical
The Muppets
(2011) starring the
eponymous puppets
featured Adams and
Jason Segel
in live-action roles.
[82]
She sang seven songs for the
film's soundtrack
.
[83]
Lisa Schwarzbaum
of
Entertainment Weekly
noted that the role marked her return to her "comedian-sweetheart" persona.
[84]
The following year, Adams played the Baker's Wife in
the Public Theater
's revival of
Stephen Sondheim
's musical
Into the Woods
, as part of the
Shakespeare in the Park
festival at the open-air
Delacorte Theater
. It was her New York stage debut and her first theater appearance in 13 years.
[85]
She agreed to the month-long production to "take on a challenge that seemed insurmountable", though she was overwhelmed and intimidated by it.
[85]
[86]
She prepared with a private singing coach, but her film schedule enabled her to spend only four weeks in rehearsal.
[85]
Ben Brantley
,
The New York Times
'
theater critic, praised Adams's "lucidly spoken and sung performance" but criticized her for lacking "the nervy, dissatisfied restlessness" of her part.
[87]
Adams took another "fierce woman" part in
Paul Thomas Anderson
's psychological drama
The Master
(2012).
[88]
She played Peggy Dodd, the ruthless and manipulative wife of the leader of a cult (played by Philip Seymour Hoffman). It marked her third and final collaboration with Hoffman, whom she deeply admired, before his death two years later.
[89]
The organization depicted in the film was deemed by journalists to be based on
Scientology
; Adams considered the comparison to be misleading but was glad for the attention it brought to the film.
[88]
[90]
Although not a
method actor
, she believed the intense role had left her on edge in her personal life.
[91]
Comparing her character to
Lady Macbeth
, the critic
Justin Chang
wrote that Adams's "pertness has rarely seemed so malevolent", and Donald Clarke of
The Irish Times
commended her for playing the part with "discrete menace".
[92]
[93]
John Patterson of
The Guardian
remarked that a scene in which her character chastises her husband while furiously masturbating him was one of the most significant sequences in the film.
[65]
Once again, Adams received Oscar, Golden Globe, and BAFTA nominations for her supporting role.
[94]
[95]
[96]
Clint Eastwood
's sports drama
Trouble with the Curve
, in which she played the estranged daughter of a
baseball scout
(Eastwood), was Adams's second film release of 2012. She admired Eastwood's "warm and generous" personality and was pleased with the collaboration.
[65]
She prepared for the part by learning to catch, pitch, and swing from a baseball coach.
[65]
The film received mixed reviews, and Roger Ebert took note of how Adams had made a standard role seem valuable.
[97]
[98]
She also played the brief part of a drug addict in
On the Road
, an ensemble drama based on
Jack Kerouac
's
novel of the same name
.
[99]
2013?2019: Established actress
After losing out on the role of
Lois Lane
in two previous films about
Superman
, Adams secured
the part
in
Zack Snyder
's 2013 reboot,
Man of Steel
, starring
Henry Cavill
as the
titular superhero
.
[100]
She played Lane with a mixture of toughness and vulnerability, but Peter Bradshaw found the character "sketchily conceived" and criticized the actress' lack of chemistry with Cavill.
[100]
[101]
The film grossed over $660 million to become one of her biggest box-office hits.
[102]
Adams next featured in
Her
, a drama from writer-director
Spike Jonze
about a lonely man (
Joaquin Phoenix
) who falls in love with an artificial intelligence (voiced by
Scarlett Johansson
); she played his close friend. The actress had unsuccessfully auditioned for Jonze's 2009 film
Where the Wild Things Are
and was cast in
Her
after Jonze looked back at those tapes.
[103]
She was drawn to the idea of portraying a platonic male-female friendship, which she believed was rare in film.
[103]
Further success came to Adams when she reteamed with David O. Russell in the ensemble black comedy crime
American Hustle
, co-starring Christian Bale,
Bradley Cooper
, and
Jennifer Lawrence
. Inspired by the 1970s
Abscam
scandal, the film featured her as a seductive con artist, though she played it so that "everything felt justified and it didn't feel like she was just a sexy sociopath".
[103]
[104]
She collaborated closely with Bale to build their characters and made off-screen suggestions to Russell, including for a scene in which she is aggressively kissed on the lips by her lover's wife (played by Lawrence).
[103]
[104]
The work proved grueling for Adams, who later confirmed reports that Russell had been hard on her and made her cry frequently; she said she feared bringing such a negative experience home to her daughter.
[8]
American Hustle
was critically acclaimed;
[105]
Manohla Dargis
of
The New York Times
believed Adams "goes deeper here than she's ever been allowed to", adding that she had successfully "turn[ed] an unpredictable character into a thrillingly wild one".
[106]
She won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical and received her fifth Oscar nomination (her first in the
Best Actress
category).
[107]
[108]
Her
and
American Hustle
were both named by critics as being among the best films of 2013, and were both nominated for the
Academy Award for Best Picture
.
[107]
[109]
Following an appearance in the poorly received drama
Lullaby
, Adams starred in
Big Eyes
(2014), a biopic of the troubled artist
Margaret Keane
, whose paintings of "big-eyed waifs" were plagiarized by her husband
Walter Keane
.
[110]
[111]
When she was first offered the part, she passed on it to avoid playing another naive woman.
[111]
[112]
The birth of her daughter in 2010 prompted Adams to find strength in the passive character, and she drew on real-life experiences where she had not stood up for herself.
[112]
In preparation, she practiced painting and studied the way Keane worked.
[112]
Keane liked Adams's portrayal of her,
[113]
and
Mark Kermode
of
The Observer
termed her performance a "potent blend of intuitive fire and sensitive vulnerability".
[114]
She won a second consecutive Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical and received a BAFTA nomination for Best Actress.
[115]
[116]
After a one-year absence from the screen, Adams had three film releases in 2016. She first reprised the role of Lois Lane in
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
, which marked the second installment in the
DC Extended Universe
after
Man of Steel
. Despite a negative critical reception for favoring visual effects over a coherent narrative, the film grossed over $870 million to become her highest-grossing release to date.
[73]
[117]
In her next two releases?the science fiction drama
Arrival
and the psychological thriller
Nocturnal Animals
?Adams played "emotionally guarded, fiercely intelligent" women to critical acclaim.
[118]
[119]
Based on
Austin Wright
's novel
Tony and Susan
,
Tom Ford
's
Nocturnal Animals
tells the story of an unhappily married art dealer, Susan (Adams), who is traumatized when reading a violent novel written by her ex-husband (played by
Jake Gyllenhaal
). She found little resemblance between herself and the "poised" and "aloof" Susan, and modeled the character's personality on that of Ford.
[120]
Stephanie Zacharek
of
Time
magazine found the film visually arresting yet thematically weak, but credited Adams and Gyllenhaal for making their characters' pain seem genuine.
[121]
Arrival
, directed by
Denis Villeneuve
and based on
Ted Chiang
's short story "
Story of Your Life
", ranks among the most acclaimed films of Adams's career.
[122]
It focuses on Louise Banks (Adams), a linguist who experiences strange visions when she is hired by the U.S. government to interpret the language of extraterrestrials. Adams was drawn to the idea of playing an intellectual female lead, and connected with the film's theme of unity and compassion.
[123]
She watched documentaries on linguistics in preparation for the role.
[124]
Christopher Orr
of
The Atlantic
described Adams's performance as "mesmerizingly open, by turns uplifting and sorrowful". Writing for the
Los Angeles Times
,
Kenneth Turan
noted her "finely calibrated performance" and asserted that the film was "a showcase for her ability to quietly and effectively meld intelligence, empathy and reserve".
[125]
[126]
Arrival
was a commercial success, grossing over $200 million against a production budget of $47 million, and Adams received Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations for Best Actress.
[127]
[128]
[129]
Several journalists expressed disappointment over her failure to receive an Oscar nomination for it.
[119]
[130]
She played Lois Lane for the third time in
Justice League
(2017), an ensemble film about the
titular superheroes
. Tim Grierson of
Screen International
wrote that despite providing "emotional resonance" to the film, Adams's talents had been wasted in a thankless supporting role.
[131]
Adams returned to television in 2018 with
Sharp Objects
, an
HBO
miniseries based on
Gillian Flynn
's thriller
novel of the same name
. She served as an executive producer and starred as Camille Preaker, a
self-harming
reporter who returns to her hometown to cover the murder of two young girls.
[132]
[133]
Adams gained weight for the part and, on days of filming, underwent three hours of
prosthetic makeup
to create her character's scarred body.
[134]
[135]
She read
A Bright Red Scream
to learn about self-mutilation and researched the psychological condition of
Munchausen syndrome by proxy
. She found herself unable to distance herself from the dysfunctional role and experienced insomnia.
[136]
The series and Adams's performance received critical acclaim;
[137]
James Poniewozik
of
The New York Times
praised the complex characterization of Preaker and called Adams's performance "transfixing".
[138]
Daniel D'Addario of
Variety
found her to be "operating at the peak of her abilities" and added that with "her voice dropped an octave, slowed to a drawl, and sharpened with distrust, [she] is simply superb".
[139]
Christian Bale and Adams teamed for the third time in Adam McKay's political satire
Vice
(2018), in which they portrayed former
vice president of the United States
,
Dick Cheney
, and his wife,
Lynne
, respectively. She read Lynne's books in preparation; despite disagreeing with her political views, she approached the part with empathy and found a connection with her character's fortitude.
[140]
[141]
Richard Lawson
of
Vanity Fair
drew comparisons to Adams's role in
The Master
; he commended "her usual rigor" but criticized the "lazy rubber-stamp of a man's idea of a woman adjacent to power".
[142]
Eric Kohn of
IndieWire
was more appreciative of her for "embodying an underwritten Lady Macbeth with ferocious energy".
[143]
Adams received Golden Globe nominations for her performances in both
Sharp Objects
and
Vice
; for the former, she received a nomination for the
Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series
and for the latter, she received her sixth Oscar and seventh BAFTA nominations.
[144]
2020?present: Career fluctuations and expansion
Adams began the new decade with the drama
Hillbilly Elegy
(2020), based on the book
of the same name
by
J. D. Vance
.
[145]
It received negative reviews from critics;
[146]
a reviewer for
Rolling Stone
stated that despite dependable work from Adams, she was trapped in a poorly-written film.
[147]
Multiple outlets criticized the film for not giving her character enough scenes to develop.
[148]
[149]
[150]
Even so, she received a nomination for the
SAG Award for Best Actress
.
[151]
Adams next starred as an
agoraphobic
murder witness in
Joe Wright
's thriller
The Woman in the Window
, based on the
novel of the same name
. Filmed in 2018, the film was delayed several times due to poor test screenings and later, due to the
COVID-19 pandemic
; it was eventually released on
Netflix
in 2021.
[152]
[153]
Adams then took on the supporting role of a grieving mother in
Dear Evan Hansen
, a film adaptation of the
Broadway musical of the same name
.
[154]
Both
The Woman in the Window
and
Dear Evan Hansen
were poorly received.
[155]
[156]
In 2022, Adams made her first appearance in
West End theatre
in a revival of
The Glass Menagerie
at the
Duke of York's Theatre
.
[157]
She played Amanda, a matriarch struggling to raise her children, for which she drew on her own mother's fierce and determined personality.
[158]
The production received mixed reviews.
[159]
Dominic Cavendish of
The Daily Telegraph
found Adams' performance "clear, simple, believable, and quietly heart-breaking in its contained vulnerability", but
Evening Standard
'
s Nick Curtis found it "muted and unconvincing".
[160]
She then reprised her role as Giselle in the sequel to
Enchanted
, titled
Disenchanted
, which premiered on
Disney+
.
[161]
She also recorded six songs for its
soundtrack
.
[162]
Critics took note of Adams' enduring charm but considered the sequel inferior to its predecessor.
[163]
Adams formed her own production company named Bond Group Entertainment with her manager Stacy O'Neil in 2019. The company has several literary adaptations under development,
[164]
including a
film adaptation
of the satirical novel
Nightbitch
starring Adams.
[165]
She will also star alongside
Jenna Ortega
in
Taika Waititi
's science fiction film
Klara and the Sun
, based on
the novel
by
Kazuo Ishiguro
, as well as in
Kornel Mundruczo
's drama film
At the Sea
.
[166]
[167]
Reception and acting style
Describing Adams' off-screen persona,
Hadley Freeman
of
The Guardian
wrote in 2016 that she "is extremely engaging, serious but with a hint of a straight-talking broad once she gets going".
[10]
Carl Swanson of
Vulture
found her "suspiciously unnarcissistic for a Hollywood star, gracious, hardworking, and decent to the point of almost not being a
celebrity
".
[168]
Journalist
Alex Bilmes
believes that Adams' ability to be "both glamorous movie star and relatable normal person is key to her success".
[6]
Adams works closely with her acting coach, Warner Loughlin, whom she credits with helping her organize and structure her thoughts.
[169]
She uses an acting method Loughlin has taught her, in which she attempts to understand her character's psychology by creating the character's backstory from age three.
[170]
Adams prefers to work with confident directors who give her space to think for herself.
[171]
She stays in character during filming, and finds it difficult to detach herself from roles and accents.
[171]
[172]
She is not influenced by the size of a role and is drawn to both leading and supporting parts.
[172]
She has described herself as an obsessive performer.
[171]
Jake Coyle of
The Washington Times
considers Adams an actress who does not transform herself for her roles, but who inhabits "a character with warmth and smarts while, to varying degrees, remaining herself".
[173]
Meryl Streep, her co-star in
Doubt
and
Julie & Julia
, has said that Adams comes highly prepared on set and possesses "a gigantic intelligence" in developing her character's arc.
[4]
Paul Thomas Anderson, who directed her in
The Master
, commends her dedication and investment in her projects.
[171]
Journalists have remarked upon her "American sweetheart" persona in her 2000s roles while taking note of her increased versatility in the 2010s.
[8]
[11]
[103]
[174]
Novelist
Stephen Marche
called Adams "the greatest actress of her generation".
[175]
Describing her film career in a 2016 review of
Arrival
, journalist and critic
Anthony Lane
of
The New Yorker
wrote:
The spry benevolence that carried her through a film like
Enchanted
(2007) has been cross-grained, in recent years, by the stern resolve of
The Master
(2012) and the snap of
American Hustle
(2013), and now, in
Arrival
, her gift for sorrow, her strength, and her instinctive sweetness of temper are rolled into one.
[176]
Forbes
ranked Adams among the world's highest-paid actresses, with earnings of over $13 million in 2014, and in 2016, and over $11 million in 2017.
[177]
[178]
[179]
The magazine featured her on its annual
Celebrity 100
list in 2014, and also ranked her among the most powerful actresses in the business.
[180]
[181]
Also that year, she was named one of the
100 most influential people in the world
by
Time
magazine.
[182]
Adams received a
star
on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame
in 2017.
[183]
As of 2017
[update]
, her films have grossed over $4.7 billion worldwide.
[73]
Robert Ito of
The New York Times
believes that her propensity for risky projects prevents her from being a bigger box-office draw.
[103]
Stuart McGurk of
GQ
cites Adams' "porcelain skin, auburn hair, and soft, earnest speaking style" as being among her trademarks.
[8]
She was named one of the most beautiful people in America by
Elle
in 2011, and several publications have featured her red carpet appearances in their listings of best-dressed celebrities.
[184]
Adams advertised
Lacoste
's fragrance Eau de Lacoste in 2012, and two years later, she endorsed accessories and handbags of
Max Mara
.
[185]
In 2015, she collaborated with Max Mara to design and promote a line of handbags.
[186]
Personal life and off-screen work
Adams met actor and painter Darren Le Gallo at an acting class in 2001, and they began dating a year later while collaborating on a short film titled
Pennies
.
[4]
[187]
They became engaged in 2008, and she gave birth to their daughter, Aviana, in 2010.
[188]
[189]
Seven years after their engagement, the couple married in a private ceremony at a ranch near
Santa Barbara, California
.
[190]
[191]
Adams said in 2016 that she appreciates the numerous sacrifices Le Gallo had made as the primary caregiver for their family.
[10]
They reside in
Beverly Hills, California
.
[192]
She has described her family life as "pretty low-key", and has said that her routine involves going to work, taking her daughter to the park, and having weekly date nights with her husband.
[6]
Adams finds little value in being a celebrity and maintains that the "more that people know about me, the less they'll believe me and my characters".
[191]
She attracts little gossip or tabloid attention, and strives to keep a healthy work-life balance.
[6]
[193]
She makes an effort to remain unaffected by her fame, believing that it would hinder her ability to play roles with honesty. Adams has spoken about suffering from insecurity and a lack of confidence from a young age and how motherhood had made her calmer.
[6]
[10]
She frequently breaks into song when stressed at work.
[8]
She has joined other actors in calling for equal pay for women in the film industry, but she finds that actresses are too often asked to explain the
gender pay gap
and feels the questions should be directed instead to producers.
[8]
[194]
Having experienced difficulty in her early years in the film industry, Adams works closely with underprivileged students at New York City's Ghetto Film School.
[195]
Variety
honored her for her work with them in 2010.
[196]
She supports
the Trevor Project
, a nonprofit organization that helps troubled
LGBT
teenagers, and served as a presenter for the 2011 event "Trevor Live".
[197]

The Beauty Book for Brain Cancer
to help raise money for brain cancer charities Snog and Headrush.
[198]
The following year, she attended a charity event at the
UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica
, to raise funds for sexually abused children.
[199]
In 2020, Adams teamed up with actress
Jennifer Garner
to launch the campaign #SaveWithStories to promote children's education during school closures due to the
COVID-19 pandemic
.
[200]
Adams is an ambassador for The RightWay Foundation, a charity that provides employment and mental health services to former foster youth.
