Richard was stationed at the Caserma Ederle military base during the time Amy was born. By the time Amy was eight years old the family had finally settled in permanently in Castle Rock, Colorado.
Amy always loved theater and performance, she sang in her Douglas County High School choir and had dreams of becoming a ballerina. Adams even trained as an apprentice at her local dance company. But soon decided the harsh conditions of ballet training weren’t right for her. That’s when she discovered her love of musical theater.
In the 1990’s Adams worked as a dancer at a number of different playhouses and theaters in Colorado and Minnesota. By the end of that experience, Amy landed her first ever film role! She was cast in the comedy Drop Dead Gorgeous. Adam’s co-star Kirstie Alley encouraged Amy to move to Los Angeles and begin auditioning for more roles.
