November 8, 2012: Amy Adams: "I Wanted Superman"

Amy Adams The LA Times interviewed actress Amy Adams about her film "The Master" but conversation turned to "Man of Steel", with Adams admitting that she grew up wanting to be Lois Lane... for real. But was it because Lois is a smart, independent and dynamic woman?

    "All of that, sure," Adams says. Brief pause. "No. It was Superman. Let's cut to the chase. I wanted Superman."

    We had a long conversation with Adams last week for an interview that will run in The Envelope next week. Mostly, we talked about Adams' turn as the watchful, willful wife in Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master," but it didn't take long for us to start harmonizing on a chorus or two of Maureen McGovern's "Can You Read My Mind?" - a song Kidder was originally slated to perform in the Donner movie.

    "I sang it in a stage choir once," Adams says. "Our movie has a much more modern take on Lois, but it's very respectful and reverent to Margot Kidder too. She was brilliant in the films they made. I loved that she was such a troublemaker."
