To pay tribute to the wonderful Amy Adams and to celebrate her upcoming 34th birthday and the recent success of Enchanted and Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day and her upcoming movies, including Doubt and Julie & Julia, Amy Adams Fan and the forum members have decided to launch a Birthday Project in the honor of the hard-working actress.

The point of this project is for fans from all around the world to gather together and make a collective and creative effort to wish our favorite actress a happy birthday. We are going to put together a Birthday Project that consists of your letters, poetry, fan art and photographs inspired by Amy Adams; perhaps to give something back for all of the amazing films and entertainment that she has provided us throughout the years. The book will be available electronically on this website and will also be mailed to Amy herself.

DEADLINE: July 25, 2008

Note: We were supposed to launch a separate website for the project earlier this week. But due to technical problems, we have been unable to do so yet. We are hoping to launch it within the next week or two but wanted to kick off the project now so you can start preparing your entries. They will all be added on the special site once we manage to get it online.

Read on for further details on the project, what to submit and when by!

Way back in 1999… Almost a decade ago. Before Enchanted… Before Junebug… Before Catch Me If You Can…

Amy Adams had filmed her film debut Drop Dead Gorgeous in Minnesota, where she was working on dinner theater. She made the move to Los Angeles to pursue acting on screen and landed the role of the fabulously evil Kathryn Merteuil in the TV series Manchester Prep. Unfortunately the show never fully took off and was later on released on DVD as Cruel Intentions 2.

I’ve added some very rare shots of Amy making appearances in the year 1999. On top of this, I’ve uploaded some lesser seen yearbook photos of her. Enjoy these vintage treats - I hope they’re new to you like they’re to me!

Happy Midsummer’s Day to everyone who celebrate it!
