Ever wondered what happened to the little girl who lived in the White House when Jimmy Carter was president? Amy Carter, once a familiar face in the media, stepped away from the spotlight to forge her own path as an artist, advocate, and devoted mother. Today, at 57, she leads a life far removed from the political arena, but her story remains compelling.

Born Amy Lynn Carter on October 19, 1967, in Plains, Georgia, she was the youngest of four children born to Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. Interestingly, her arrival into the world was preceded by a family vote a testament to the Carters' unique approach to family decisions. They even selected her name from a Websters dictionary before she was born, suggesting a thoughtful anticipation of her arrival. Her early years were spent in Plains until 1970, when her father's election as Governor of Georgia propelled the family into the public eye.
