Biografia

Long hair, most usually red, sometimes strawberry blonde

Often plays optimistic characters with cheerful dispositions

Her wide-eyed expressions

Sparkling blue eyes

Her bright smile

Amy is so often mistaken for friend Isla Fisher that Isla and her prankster husband Sacha Baron Cohen once pasted Amy's face over Isla's on their custom holiday greeting cards with the message, "Season Greetings from Sacha, Isla and the Kids." Apparently, no one noticed.

She has appeared in five films that have been nominated for the Best Picture Oscar: The Fighter (2010), Lei (2013), American Hustle - L'apparenza inganna (2013), Arrival (2016) and Vice - L'uomo nell'ombra (2018).

Best friends with actress Emily Blunt. The two became very close while filming Sunshine Cleaning (2008).

Did her own singing in I Muppet, il ritorno (2011), Come d'incanto (2007) and Un giorno di gloria per Miss Pettigrew (2008).

Meryl Streep taught her how to knit.

I have worked with some of the meanest people in the world. You can't do anything to intimidate me.

I think that I've always been attracted to characters who are positive and come from a very innocent place. I think there's a lot of room for discovery in these characters and that's something I always have fun playing.

[on singing at the Academy Awards] It's nerve-wracking! I'll be up there, singing the song in front of billions of people - oh, and Daniel Day-Lewis! And Cate Blanchett. I'll be going to Taco Bell when the ceremony is over. Mexican food cures me.

[on being stereotyped as the naïve one] Not at this point. Right now, I'm just doing what I enjoy and I've done some different films, I've done some different types of roles.

[on working at The Gap] Whitney Houston came in. Someone dared me to do "the Gap act" on her. You know, the Gap act. So I went up to her like I didn't know who she was, and I said, "Hi, I just wanted to let you know about our sale items and make sure to check out our new colors." She looked at me like I was crazy.
