Adams plays Julie Powell in this biographical drama from Nora Ephron. As Powell challenges herself to cook all the recipes in Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking, we see her struggle interspersed with Julia Child’s rise to cooking stardom.

I was very grateful that my character wasn’t about her physique. Let’s just put it that way.

Doubt

Film Appearance0 Comments

Adams plays Sister James, a young teacher at a Catholic school, in this drama from John Patrick Shanley. Sister Aloysius Beauvier, the school’s principal, questions Father Flynn’s relationship with a male student and recruits Sister James to monitor the priest’s actions. It is left up to the viewer to decide if her suspicions are correct or if she wants Father Flynn removed for her own reasons.

There are things I didn’t realize – that you weren’t allowed to leave and you weren’t allowed to leave by yourself. If you had a doctor’s appointment, two of them went together. If somebody was sick in your family, you weren’t allowed to leave. So, you know, when my character says, ‘I can’t leave my class,’ it’s not like, ‘I can’t leave my class!‘ But no, ‘I really can’t leave my class. I’m not allowed to leave because my brother’s sick.’ And so there’s such a great sense of isolation and being sort of trapped in the situation and in this world for her through the story.

Charlie Wilson’s War

Film Appearance0 Comments

Adams plays Bonnie Bach, administrative assistant to Texas congressman Charlie Wilson, in this drama directed by Mike Nichols. Wilson teams up with a renegade CIA agent and a Houston socialite to assist Afghani rebels in their war with the Soviets. Their efforts contribute to the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War.

It was so much fun. Just to be on that set and learn from these people and get to watch Philip Seymour Hoffman and Tom Hanks do these amazing scenes together, directed by Mike Nichols, it was for me like going to school.
