Her father is a U.S. Army veteran and was stationed at Caserma Ederle at the time of her birth. After years of moving from base to base, Adams's family settled in Castle Rock, Colorado, when Adams was eight years old. Following his Army discharge, her father sang professionally in restaurants and her mother became a semi-professional bodybuilder.〔 Until her parents' divorce in 1985, Adams was raised in LDS Church. Regarding her religious upbringing, Adams said, "I can't speak for everybody, but I know it instilled in me a value system I still hold true. The basic 'Do unto others ...'—that was what was hammered into me. And love." During her years at Douglas County High School, Adams sang in the school choir and trained as an apprentice at a local dance company with ambitions of becoming a ballerina. Her parents had hoped that she would continue her athletic training, which she gave up to pursue dance, as it would have given her a chance to obtain a college scholarship. Adams later reflected on her decision not to go to college: "I wasn't one of those people who enjoyed being in school. I regret not getting an education, though."〔 〕 After graduating from high school, she moved to Atlanta with her mother.〔 Deciding that she was not gifted enough to be a professional ballerina, she entered musical theater, which she found was "much better suited to () personality".〔 She said that ballet was "too disciplined and too restrained and I was always told off in the chorus lines" and her body at the time was "just wrecked from dancing all these years."〔 When she turned eighteen, Adams supported herself by working as a greeter at a Gap store while performing in community theater.〔 For a few weeks after graduating from high school,〔("From Hooters to Hollywood" ) (slide show, page 2), FoxNews.com, September 30, 2010 〕 she took her first full-time job as a hostess at Hooters, a fact that became her "entire press career" for a while. Adams left the job three weeks later after having saved enough money to buy her first car. She later admitted, "So there was definitely an innocence to my interpretation of what Hooters was about. Though I did learn, quickly, that short shorts and beer don't mix!"〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amy Adams」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
