Biography
Education: High School for the Performing Arts (New York) and School of
the American Ballet (New York) Former juvenile stage actress whose
adult movie career took off with a well-received performance, opposite
Richard Gere and Sam Shepard, in Terrence Malick's DAYS OF HEAVEN
(1978). Although she has starred in Philip Kaufman's INVASION OF THE
BODY SNATCHERS (1978), and repeated her off-Broadway role in the film
version of Kevin Wade's romantic comedy KEY EXCHANGE (1985), Adams's
recent work has been sidetracked to mostly horror films and
supernatural thrillers. Author: Anonymous
