Amy Adams

This month ED COASTER INVADES THE V.F. CHRISTMAS PARTY GEORGE WAYNE GOES MANO A MANO WITH JOAN COLLINS INTELLIGENCE REPORT FROM SADDAM TO CHENEY: THE DICTATORS

AGE AND OCCUPATION: 26, actor. PROVENANCE Castle Rock, Colorado. SHE'S A REAL CATCH: If you haven't caught Adams in Serving Sara, Pumpkin, or the straightto-video classic Cruel Intentions 2, don't miss her this month in the Spielberg-directed Catch Me if You Can, with Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio. "I play Leo's fiancee. He's a dream. I mean, he's Leonardo DiCaprio!" IS THERE A DONNY OR A MARIE IN THE FAMILY BY ANY CHANCE?

"I have seven brothers and sisters. I was raised Mormon, but my parents left the church when I was about 12. We're all actors, but there's just two of us [in L.A.] professionally. But don't tell them they're not professionals!'' AMY ADAMS, THIS IS YOUR LIFE: "The thought of Steven Spielberg is a lot scarier than the actual person. He's so nice. Driving up to the gates was overwhelming: 'Who are you here to see?' 'Uh, Steven Spielberg?' It's just so 'This is not my life.'" IS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO GET OFF YOUR CHEST? "I'd love to say it isn't true, but I [worked] at Hooters. Which is a joke—it's so not my personality, and I thought it was funny. I was a pig in State Fair, too. I never want to have to tap-dance in a mascot uniform again— unless Spielberg is directing."
