Amy Adams has enchanted audiences with roles in everything from Disney musicals to the Oscar-nominated “American Hustle,” but it’s likely the ever-popular starlet just gained more fans—through a subtle act of kindness.
According to ESPN host Jemele Hill, Adams gave up her first-class seat on a flight so an American soldier could sit in the classy cabin.
Jemele Hill Just saw actress Amy Adams do something incredibly classy. She gave her 1st class seat to an American soldier.
Later, Hill told FoxNews.com, "I was on a flight from Detroit to Los Angeles...While I was in the boarding area, I noticed Ms. Adams and she was glancing at an American soldier, who was dressed in uniform. I saw her whisper something to the woman she was traveling with.
"I was upgraded to first class, where Ms. Adams was. I saw her leave her seat and then a flight attendant escorted the soldier to her seat. It was pretty obvious she'd given up her seat for him.
"I later asked a flight attendant if the soldier knew who had given up their seat for him and she told me that he did, and that Amy and the soldier met privately near the cockpit area.
"I just thought it was incredibly generous and thoughtful. I've been a big fan of hers, but now I'm an even bigger fan...
"The flight attendant even remarked to me that in all her years of service she has never seen a celebrity do something like that. Regular people, yes. But not a celeb."
Adams, whose father was in the military, settled into a coach seat for the flight.
"Ms. Adams did it so quietly and quickly that it speaks to her character," Hill added. "And somebody in coach just got a helluva seatmate!"

Classy lady..and the fact that she did this and didn’t want anyone to know about it also shows how classy she is
WA PingPatty Murray and Maria Cantwell probably do this all the time ...dontcha think?
...oh
Classy woman. Oh if only I wasn’t married.... And taller, better looking, and with more money.
“Once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy.”
My wife did that a few years ago. I was sitting in steerage, she’d gotten upgraded to business class (with lay flat seat pods). It turned out 2 soldiers were sitting on the bulkhead right behind her, on their way back from Afghanistan. She and another guy gave up their seats to them; after the flight, the soldier told her it was the most comfortable he had been in 6 months. The unit patch he gave her is around here somewhere.
She reminds me of June Lockhart.
Good girl.
She definitely went up a notch in my book.
I always thought she was a great Actress. Now I know she is a great person too. I really don’t think she was after accolades on this.
I think the soldier would have rather sat with her in the back on the couch.
What??? coach??? Never Mind!
I saw that movie. She is REALLY NOT GUILTY when she’s walking away from you in that outfit.
I would have been really classy if I never heard about it..just sayen
I = It
