Brenda Strong (Amy Adams) is the naive nurse who falls for con-man Frank Abagnale Jr.
To play the role Amy Adams had to wear a full set of upper and lower fake dental braces. She didn’t find these too difficult to work with:
It’s not too bad. I had a mouthpiece that I just pushed in and out so it wasn’t too bad at all. It was . . . kind of like a white thing with brackets glued on, and it had such big brackets that you really couldn’t tell that they were real . . . When I was wearing them, um, I felt a lot younger which helps me get into her vulnerability and her naiveté.
The braces were by GA Enterprises. Moviemistakes.com complains that the stick-on braces portrayed are anachronistic: ‘The only type available had wrap around bands.’
