Amy Adams (b. 1974) is an American actress and singer whose breakthrough role was an Academy Award-nominated performance in the film Junebug. She played Mary in the 2011 film The Muppets.
Adams told The Huffington Post that she was invited to appear in the movie by Segel and Kermit the Frog: "This is something I grew up with and was in love with. When I heard they were doing a new one I was really excited. Jason sent me a DVD where he and Kermit were inviting me to be part of The Muppets. It was really cool. Once Kermit asks you to do something it is really hard to look at him and say, 'No.' So I was hooked!""Jason Segel, Amy Adams Talk The Muppets, Kermit Invitation", The Huffington Post. June 21, 2011.
Segel says that the role was written with Adams in mind:
In the film, Adams as Mary sings "Life's a Happy Song" with Gary and Walter, but she also gets a duet with Miss Piggy, each part performed separately as they focus on their individual characters. Seven years later, Adams still holds "Me Party" as a prominent memory of her career, referencing it in passing during a December 19, 2018 appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers."Amy Adams Based Her Portrayal of Lynne Cheney on Her Grandmother" at 0:23

Adams appeared in Season 42 of Sesame Street, presenting the word "Ingredient" with Elmo as The Word of the Day. 
Her other roles include the lead in Disney's Enchanted, Amelia Earhart in Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, Academy Award-nominated performances in Doubt and The Fighter, playing Julie opposite Meryl Streep in Julie and Julia, Lois Lane in Man of Steel, and Margaret Keane in the Tim Burton film Big Eyes (with Christoph Waltz).
