I’m WAY behind the curve on this one, but I just found out the other day that Amy Adams, who recently starred in Enchanted and hosted SNL, got her leg up in the national acting world here in Minnesota:

Adams moved to Minnesota’s Twin Cities when she landed a job with the Chanhassen Dinner Theater – the largest dinner theater in the country – and it was while starring in the theatre’s production of “Brigadoon,” that Adams’ sparkling energy and delicate red-headed features were spotted by a film producer. The following year, she made her big screen debut as a determined beauty pageant contestant in the comedy, “Drop Dead Gorgeous” (1999).

I’ll be damned. I’d like to change my vote for local girl made good, please.
