CATFIGHT: Amy Adams vs. Emily Blunt

Saturday 27 June 2009

Last week's Catfight was won by Megan Fox (69%) against Zoe Saldaña (31%), somewhat predictably. So, this week's may be a little more evenly-matched: it's a transatlantic battle of the rising stars, as English Emily Blunt competes against American Amy Adams (co-stars in Sunshine Cleaning.) Read on for details and to cast your vote...


Amy Lou Adams

After appearing in a litany of small movies and TV series, Amy Adams' career began to takeoff with roles in Catch Me If You Can and Junebug (where she was nominated for an Academy Award). But it wasn't until Enchanted, playing an animated fairy tale princess who's transported to the real world, that most people started to notice her. She's recently appeared in the drama Doubt, co-starred as Amelia Earheart in the Night At The Museum sequel and is currently appearing in Sunshine Cleaning. With a gift for comedy, drama and a bright disposition, she's already proven herself capable of mastering complex dramatic roles and fluffier mainstream fare.

Emily Olivia Leah Blunt

After a series of theatre roles, Emily Blunt appeared in the TV historical drama's Boudica and Henry VIII, before gaining some acclaim for her role in the movie My Summer Of Love in 2004 and in the TV drama Gideon's Daughter (where she won a Golden Globe.) Her breakout role came in 2006, when she co-starred alongside Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada as a snooty receptionist. Many more roles followed (The Jane Austen Book Club, Charlie Wilson's War, Dan In Real Life), before she headlined her first movie playing a youthful queen in Young Victoria1. She's can currently be seen in Sunshine Cleaning and her stardom is set to rocket as the love-interest of Benicio del Toro in The Wolfman later this year. She's also filming the big-budget remake of Gulliver's Travels, which is destined to be one of 2010's big releases.

Date of Birth: 23 February 1983
