CHAMPAIGN – A few years ago, actress Joey Lauren Adams experienced an epiphany after meeting two horticulturists at a trendy bar in Los Angeles. They asked what she had been doing since she starred in Kevin Smith's "Chasing Amy" (1997), and they expressed surprise when she invited them, at 2 a.m., to a friend's house.
"I realized I didn't have a job to go to the next morning. I didn't have a script to read," Adams said Friday in Champaign. She woke up the next morning and saw "Notting Hill," starring Julia Roberts. Even though she loves Roberts, Adams said she didn't see in that movie a female character she could relate to.
