After scoring an Oscar nod for her co-starring role with Meryl Streep in Doubt, Amy Adams is back on the big screen with the Academy Award-winning legend. But this time, Adams doesn’t have a single scene with Streep.

In Julie and Julia, Adams takes on the real-life role of a woman who cooked (and blogged) her way through every recipe in Julia Child’s masterpiece, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Parade.com’s Jeanne Wolf found out why Amy’s most memorable moment took place off of the set—and how she almost gave up on her acting career.

Take two on her engagement.
“I got engaged the night before we wrapped Julie and Julia [to her boyfriend of six years, Darren La Gallo]. It was funny because I was actually running lines from the script in my head while we were taking this romantic carriage ride in Central Park. I felt really bad for Darren. I was like, ‘You should get a re-do because you were cheated.’ All I was thinking about was my last day at work.”

Why she loves him.
“Darren gives up a lot and gives me a lot. He comes to visit me on set. He draws me a bath when I get home. He’s an actor and also an artist and he sends me drawings. Just lots of sweet little things to keep us connected.”

Amy Adams and Chris Messina are pretty cute individually, but put together, they’re practically magnetic. Even though they play the very flawed, very human Julie and Eric Powell in Julie & Julia, in person they’re really just movie-star attractive and charming.

Still, their depiction of a modern marriage in Julie & Julia feels honest and real, making them perfect counterparts to the other half of the story, about the fairytale marriage between Julia Child (Meryl Streep) and her husband Paul (Stanley Tucci). Read below as they talk about creating real people out of their characters, dealing with the massive amount of food they had to eat on camera, and Chris Messina’s early brush with fame– and Meryl Streep.

I’m not necessarily looking to play the bad girl specifically. If there’s a great role that’s written and she happens to be a little nasty…

Since her breakthrough role as Princess Giselle in Disney’s Enchanted, Amy Adams has gotten notice playing nice women – from the troubled nun in Doubt to Amelia Earhart in Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian and a poor chorine in Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day.

As Julie Powell, the frustrated housewife who finds personal satisfaction – and an admiring public – when she blogs about cooking like Julia Child in Julie & Julia, Adams adds another notch to her “nice girl” belt.

Does she ever long to return to the evil vixenhood she embraced in Cruel Intentions 2?

“Well, right now these are the roles that are coming to me and I’m not necessarily looking to play the bad girl specifically. If there’s a great role that’s written and she happens to be a little nasty,” Adams said nodding.

“But I don’t want to do it just for the sake of doing it. For me, it’s just about creating human beings the way that I see them, as opposed to creating a caricature of a human being.”

At least in Julie & Julia Adams was free of the baggage usually associated with portraying a real-life character.

Unlike Meryl Streep’s Child, a performance that will be measured against often vivid memories of the eccentric and beloved TV chef and author, Powell remains virtually unknown even though her blog became a best-selling book and now a movie.

“I still have not met Julie Powell,” Adams said. “For me, creating a character that was living in the world of our film was really important. My interpretation was based on ‘meeting’ (Julie) through her book and her blogs and through Nora (Ephron, the writer-director) who spent an extensive amount of time with her.”

I have one word for Amy’s dress: WOW!  She is of course at tonight’s New York premiere of Julie & Julia and she looks simply stunning.  I have added the first small batch of HQ photos to the gallery and will be up most of the night finding and adding more.
