From All Movie Guide: A specialist in still-waters-run-deep roles, the deceptively placid-looking Amy Wright is a graduate of Beloit College. After graduation, Wright worked as a drama instructor, then appeared in regional theater before establishing herself at New York's Circle Repertory. She made her off-Broadway debut in Strindberg's The Stronger, then took Broadway by storm in 1980 in a role especially written for her by Lanford Wilson in The Fifth of July. In films from 1975, Wright has been nothing short of brilliant as Sabbath Lily Hawks in Wise Blood (1979), creepy groupie Shelley in Woody Allen's Stardust Memories (1980), William Hurt's uptight sister, Rose, in The Accidental Tourist (1988), and strident beauty contestant Missy Mahoney in Miss Firecracker (1989). Making the transition to middle-aged character roles with élan, she has ... been seen as Goody Gotwick in Demi Moore's remake of The Scarlet Letter (1995). Amy Wright is the mother of two children by her longtime companion, actor Rip Torn.

"The State of Florida has, over the last few years, really taken an interest in the development of marine natural products," says Wright. One major initiative that Harbor Branch has been a part of is the Center of Excellence in Biomedical and Marine Biotechnology. This research consortium, based at Florida Atlantic University, provided two years of funding for expeditions, equipment, and research, to expand biotechnology in the state. The State of Florida has ... provided some direct funding to Harbor Branch to promote further exploration of Florida waters for drug discovery and to support associated research. Collectively, the state funding has provided the first opportunities ever for exploration of a number of Florida deep-water reefs, work that has led to a number of important discoveries. One particularly interesting area is known as the Miami Terrace.
