OSCAR nominee Amy Adams suffered a horrific double-whammy as a kid growing up. When she was just 11 years old, her parents divorced and, according to a source, her mother ended up with her lesbian lover. Then, her father remarried and Amy went off to live with family friends during high school.
A family insider says that the “American Hustle” beauty was “devastated” when her parents divorced.
But Amy has overcome the hardship of her youth and is now poised on the pinnacle of Hollywood success after being nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her role as a con artist in “American Hustle.”
Still, it’s been a long, bumpy ride. The 39-year-old star’s parents, Kathryn and Richard Adams, were married in a Mormon temple in 1960 and settled in Castle Rock, Colo.
