LIKE THERE’S ANY OTHER KIND OF LIFEGAURD: Amy plays Porcelain Bidet, the bitchy, backstabbing lifeguard, on Son of the Beach.
LIFE BEFORE THE BEACH: Once upon a dark and gloomy time, Amy was relegated to choice roles like “Housewife” on Melrose Place or “Waitress” on L.A. Heat.
WE PRETENDED TO BE POPULAR:“I pretended to be the study-duddy because I got good grades. But then I’d sneak out my window and let loose. Basically everyone met up in the middle of undeveloped land and just drank.”
A PHOTO SHOOT GONE WRONG: “When I first moved out here, this guy [photographer] took me out to a flower field. He was really odd because he wore this black trench coat and leather pants—and it was the middle of summer. He had me lying in all this grass, and then he started saying things like, ‘Spread your legs,’ and ‘Open up like a flower.’ I ran. I was on the side of the highway, trying to call a cab.”
“I feel very comfortable in my own skin. I’m proud of my body.”
