Description

Working with Steven Spielberg and Leonardo DiCaprio on the 2002 crime dramedy Catch Me If You Can could have been Amy Adams' breakthrough, but that's not what ended up happening. We're joined by Variety senior entertainment writer Adam B. Vary to talk about Amy's transition from mean girl roles to tender vulnerability, and the somewhat muted reception to Spielberg's then-most personal film. Plus: the deleted scene that may or may not exist, the actor's code of not using tongue, and what Amy and Chloe Sevigny have in common.
