Actress Amy Adams Gives First Class Airline Seat to Soldier

Oscar-nominated actress Amy Adams' first-class act of respect and kindness is setting the internet abuzz.

According to ESPN columnist Jemele Hill, Adams was boarding a flight out of Detroit when she noticed a uniformed soldier at the gate and privately requested to trade seats with him. Adams, whose father was a serviceman, took the soldier's seat in coach.

"I noticed Ms. Adams was in first class and as I was getting seated, I saw the flight attendant guide the soldier to Ms. Adams' seat. She was no longer in it, but it was pretty clear that she'd given up her seat for him," she said. "I was incredibly impressed, and I'm not even sure if the soldier knew who gave him that seat. I guess he will now!"

Adams' father, Richard, was stationed in Aviano, Pordenone, Italy when the actress was born. The family moved to several bases before settling in Colorado. Adams has yet to comment on the story.
