Joey Lauren Adams (born January 9, 1968) is an American actress and director who has appeared in more than forty films. She appeared in Kevin Smith's View Askewniverse films, particularly ''Mallrats'' and ''Chasing Amy'', with the latter earning her a Golden Globe for Best Actress nomination. ==Career== She began her film career in 1977 with a small part in ''Exorcist II: The Heretic''. In 1991, she appeared in "Top of the Heap", the 100th episode of ''Married... with Children'', and subsequently starred in its short lived spinoff. In 1993, Adams landed her first major film role as Simone in Richard Linklater's ''Dazed and Confused''. The same year, she appeared in the ''Saturday Night Live'' spinoff film ''Coneheads'' as one of Connie Conehead's friends. Two years later, Adams appeared in ''Mallrats'', written and directed by Kevin Smith. The two started dating during the film's post-production, and their relationship provided the inspiration for Smith's next film, ''Chasing Amy''. Meanwhile, in 1996, while Smith was finalizing the script for ''Chasing Amy'', Adams was cast in the slapstick comedy ''Bio-Dome'', which was directed by Jason Bloom. Adams played the role of Monique, Bud Macintosh's (Pauly Shore) girlfriend. In 1997's ''Chasing Amy'', Adams played the lead role of Alyssa Jones, a lesbian who falls in love with a man, played by Ben Affleck. Later, Smith would describe ''Chasing Amy'' as a "sort of penance/valentine" and a "thank-you homage" to Adams.〔Smith, Kevin. "The Hows and Whys of ''Chasing Amy''".

The Criterion Collection〕 In addition to her acting work on the film, Adams wrote and performed the song "Alive" for the film's soundtrack.〔 Adams' performance in ''Chasing Amy'' earned her both the 1997 Chicago Film Critics Award and Las Vegas Film Critics Society Award for Most Promising Actress, and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress-Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. From there, Adams was originally slated to play the female lead in Smith's next film, 1999's ''Dogma'', but Linda Fiorentino ultimately was assigned the role.〔Smith, Kevin. "In The Beginning...

In both of these appearances, Adams reprises the Alyssa Jones role.〔 Her post-Smith projects included playing a spunky veterinarian's assistant who falls in love with a single father (Vince Vaughn) in 1998's ''A Cool, Dry Place''. The following year, Adams appeared in her first big-budget Hollywood release, playing Adam Sandler's love interest in the successful comedy ''Big Daddy''. She then went on to appear in many smaller films, including ''Beautiful'' and ''In the Shadows''.〔 In 2005, she had a guest role in an episode of the TV series ''Veronica Mars''. Also in 2006, Adams released her directorial debut film, ''Come Early Morning'', starring Ashley Judd, Jeffrey Donovan, Diane Ladd, Tim Blake Nelson and Laura Prepon.
