Amy was born March 25th, 1976 in
Topanga Canyon, California. She was a relatively new arrival when she
first gained notice for her supporting roles in the 1999 hit teen films
"Varsity Blues" and "Outside Providence." With her blonde, carefree
California girl good looks, the Los Angeles native got her start in
TV-movies and made her feature debut in Stephen Kay's "The Last Time I
Committed Suicide" screened at 1997's Sundance Film Festival. She was
briefly seen in Paul Verhoeven's big-budget sci-fi actioner "Starship
Troopers" and had an impressive turn in the vastly different, quirkily
independent "How to Make the Cruelest Month." In the latter she played
Dot, the graceful golden girl who seduces the one-time boyfriend of her
sister, the troubled protagonist, Bell (Clea DuVall). The by-the-numbers
horror film "Campfire Tales" followed in 1998, along with the topically
chilling but clumsily executed internet stalker thriller "Dee Snider's
StrangeLand," written, produced and starring the titular Twisted Sister
frontman as a deranged torturer who meets his victims in web chatrooms.
Amy would reach her widest audience with a co-starring role opposite James
Van Der Beek in Brian Robbins' surprise box office hit "Varsity Blues."
The actress played Jules Harbor, a girl who longs for life beyond her
small town's high school football-obsessed culture but who, as sister of
the injured star quarterback (Paul Walker) and girlfriend of his
idealistic replacement (Van Der Beek), is tied to it. With her darkened
hair, sad eyes and intelligent portrayal of the strong-willed Jules, Smart
reminded audiences of Van Der Beek's "Dawson's Creek" co-star Katie
Holmes. She would next be featured as Shawn Hatosy's upper-class love
interest in Michael Corrente's poignant 1970s era comedy "Outside
Providence." Based on Peter Farrelly's novel, the film followed a
working-class teenaged boy (Hatosy) sent by his abrasive but loving father
(Alec Baldwin) to a tony prep school after running into trouble at home. |

"There's something about
blonds that triggers a lightheartedness. People can't take you
seriously. Brunettes are more mysterious."
"I keep seeing the Backstreet Boys on TV and all of their fans and
I'm thinking, 'I was one of those girls when I was little,
ohmygod.'" |
