Adrienne Frantz (born June 7, 1978 in Mount Clemens, Michigan) is an Emmy Award-winning American actress, best known for her role as Ambrosia "Amber" Moore Ashby on the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful, which she now plays on The Young and the Restless. While on B&B, she also played Amber's sister, April Knight, briefly in 2003.
First breaking into the soap opera genre in 1997 as Tiffany Thorne on Sunset Beach, she left the show later that year for her role as the villainess turned sympathetic heroine Amber on The Bold and the Beautiful. In 2001, she won a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Younger Actress. Frantz played the role on B&B until 2005, when she left to focus on a music career.
As of May 2006 she is currently recording her debut album with producer Daniel Wise (Scissor Sisters, Maceo Parker, Secret Machines, John Mayer) at The Shed Recording studio in New York. The album, titled ANOMALY, is slated for release in Fall 2006 on Wrong Records, and is available for pre-order at www.wrongrecords.net.
B&B Head Writer Bradley Bell has also informed Soap Opera Digest that he is ready to bring back the character of Amber Moore whenever Adrienne is ready to return, which may be likely since she has turned down offers from other shows.
Outside of B&B, one of her guest roles was as a popstar named Emica in the 2001 Rugrats episode "All Growed Up", which later was the basis for the spinoff All Grown Up!. She also played Claire Redfield in the commercial of Resident Evil 2 which was directed by the legendary George Romero and was released prior to the games' release. However, the commercial was only shown in Japan (and most distinctively, the game was known as Biohazard 2- in which Resident Evil is really known as in Japan)
She was the long time girlfriend of Johnny Rzeznik, lead singer of The Goo Goo Dolls but they broke-up in 2005.
Adrienne also guest starred in an episode of That 70's Show playing Fez's girlfriend.
