Amy Adams to play late rocker Janis Joplin in biopic
October 2nd, 2010 - 1:22 pm ICT by ANIWashington, Oct 2 (ANI): Amy Adams, usually known for playing characters with sunny dispositions, will now be seen in a darker role, that of Janis Joplin, in an upcoming biopic.
Adams confirmed at the week’s Variety Power Women’s Luncheon that she would play late rocker Janis Joplin.
“It’s there”, the New York Post quoted Adams as saying.
