Amy Irving (born September 10, 1953 in Palo Alto, California) is an American actress.

Life

Amy Irving was born on September 10, 1953, to film and stage director Jules Irving and actress Priscilla Pointer. (Her father is Jewish and her mother is a Christian Scientist). Amy Irving's brother is writer/director David Irving (not the British historian of the same name), and her sister is singer Katie Irving.

In the late '60s and early '70s, Irving attended acting school at the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco where she appeared in a number of their theatrical productions. She also trained at LAMDA, (the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) and made her off-Broadway debut at the age of 17.

Irving was married to the American film director Steven Spielberg from 1985 to 1989. (She received an estimated $100 million divorce settlement). In 1990 she became romantically and professionally involved with the Brazilian film director Bruno Barreto, and they were married in 1996. She has two sons, Max Samuel, (with Spielberg), and Gabriel (with Barreto). Irving and Barreto were divorced in 2005.

Performances

Amy Irving's screen performances include roles in the Brian DePalma-directed films The Fury as Gillian Bellaver, and Carrie as Sue Snell (in which she co-starred with her mother), as well as in the 1983 film "Yentl" (for which she was nominated for an Oscar), in Susan Sandler's 1988 film, "Crossing Delancey" (for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe) as Isabelle, and Woody Allen's 1997 film Deconstructing Harry. Micki + Maude, directed by Blake Edwards and starring Dudley Moore was a hit for her in 1984. She supplied the singing voice for Jessica Rabbit in the animated film Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Irving also appeared in the television show Alias as Emily Sloane.

Irving's stage work includes The Heidi Chronicles, The Road to Mecca, Celadine, a world premiere at George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick, NJ and, more recently, the 2006 one-woman play, A Safe Harbor for Elizabeth Bishop, by Marta Góes, which was a Primary Stages production at the 59E59 Theaters.

Irving is currently starring in the American premiere of Tom Stoppard's The Coast of Utopia at New York's Lincoln Center.

Awards and honors

Amy Irving received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the film Yentl, Golden Globe nominations for her performances in the films Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna and Crossing Delancey, and an Obie Award for her stage performance in The Road to Mecca.

Irving holds the dubious distinction of being one of only two people to be nominated for both an Oscar and a Razzie Award for the same performance. Irving was nominated for both Best and Worst Supporting Actress for her work in Yentl. Only James Coco achieved the same feat for his work in Only When I Laugh.
