Adams said that wasn't the case for her, as she was in costume as a year-old and, of course, had pink eye. And in that moment, I became the first woman in history to reject a hug from Brad Pitt.

Adams was born in Italy while her father was stationed there, and was brought up Mormon.
She also used to work at The Gap and once annoyed Whitney Houston after taking her job as a greeter very seriously.
She's not a natural red-head. Adams said she dyed her hair red to get better roles. She was born in Aviano, Italy. She grew up Mormon and has seven siblings. She wanted to be a ballerina when she was younger, but later switched to musical theater. She had considered quitting acting before doing the film Junebug Kept her trademark red hair in the role of Lois Lane, thus Lois' and Lana Lang's usual hair tones from the comics are switched in Man of Steel and the subsequent DC movie universe - Lois is a redhead and Lana Lang is a brunette.
The first job she ever had at age 12 was selling licorice at a rodeo in Ogden, Utah, while staying with her grandparents. She later worked as a 'greeter' at The Gap store in the Lenox Mall in Buckhead, Atlanta, where she once had rare opportunity to greet Whitney Houston as she entered the store.

You can't do anything to intimidate me. I think that I've always been attracted to characters who are positive and come from a very innocent place.
I think there's a lot of room for discovery in these characters and that's something I always have fun playing. I'll be up there, singing the song in front of billions of people - oh, and Daniel Day-Lewis!
And Cate Blanchett. I'll be going to Taco Bell when the ceremony is over. Mexican food cures me. Right now, I'm just doing what I enjoy and I've done some different films, I've done some different types of roles. Someone dared me to do "the Gap act" on her. You know, the Gap act.

When I look at my 20s, or when I look at any period in my life, I think about how much time I've wasted trying to find the right man. It's like, if I could go back and do it again, I would have taken guitar lessons or something.

The following year she received another Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her role as a nun in 's Doubt , co-starring Meryl Streep. So, for me, I don't think like that. I don't associate that with myself at this time. I've been working, which is so grounding and you don't sort of get a sense of the outside world when you're working.
