The Movie: Catch Me If You Can (2002)

Who She Played: Brenda, the nurse that Frank falls in love with but ultimately has to leave behind.

Why You Forgot: In the years leading up to her appearance in the film, Adams had turned up in a handful of low budget movies and popular TV shows like That '70s Show and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Though Spielberg himself has said her role as Brenda should've elevated her career, it didn't, but fortunately it only took a few years for her to truly get a foothold in Hollywood, with her work with directors like David O. Russell, Paul Thomas Anderson and Tim Burton and her status as the latest cinematic Lois Lane making it easy to forget her brief time with Spielberg.
