American noted daughter of President Jimmy Carter. At age ten her family moved into the White House. By the time she went to Brown University, she was a political activist a la the style of the '60s. In May 1987, she stood trial with 14 others on charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct stemming from a 24 November 1986 protest against CIA recruitment at the local university. As an art student, she graduated from Georgia State University in 1994 and played in a movie sci-fi comedy, "Slack Trek, The X-Generation," released early 1995. Carter illustrated a children's book that her dad wrote, "The Little Baby Snoogie-Fleejer," published in November 1995. On 1 September 1996, she married computer specialist James Wentzel, two years younger than she, whom she'd met several years before when they worked together at an Atlanta bookstore. They set up housekeeping in New Orleans where she was working on her master's in art history and he was a computer consultant for the University of New Orleans, Louisiana. They welcomed their first child, Hugo James Wentzel on 29 July 1999 around 9 PM at Atlanta, Georgia. This is the tenth grandchild for Pres. and Mrs. Carter. Amy Carter and Wentzel later divorced.
