Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sitdown podcast.

Thanks so much.

As always for clicking and giving us a listen, my guest this week, another good one.

I think six time Oscar nominee Amy Adams.

Amy and I sat down to talk about her role as Lynn Cheney, wife of former vice president

Dick Cheney in the film Vice.

She's nominated for another Oscar for that.

And she plays across from Christian Bale, also nominated for Best Actor.

She underwent an extreme transformation to play vice president Cheney putting on 40

pounds, sitting in the makeup chair for four hours a day.

We get into that movie.

We also talk about her career and her early years growing up in Colorado, performing alongside

her seven siblings and the big leap she made as an actress from performing dinner theater

in Minnesota, making it all the way to Hollywood's A-list where she's racked up hits, including

Catch Me If You Can.

That was her breakthrough.

Steven Spielberg put her in that movie with Leonardo DiCaprio, of course enchanted and

then a string of more Oscar nominations for movies like Doubt, The Fighter and American

Hustle.

Interesting too to listen to Amy talk about her life right now.

She cringes quite literally and physically.

I can tell you from sitting across from her at the term movie star.
