However, she gained recognition in 1978 after starring in leading roles in "Invasion of Body Snatchers" and "Days of Heaven."

At the age of 6, Adams made her first acting debut. Eleven years later, she was cast as a teenage daughter in the television comedy series "O.K. Crackerby."

However, she deliberately avoided the status of a celebrity, preferring to measure her achievements by her own standards rather than Hollywood's.
