Amanda was a child actress in the 1990s and early 2000s. She had children glued to their screens watching the Nickelodeon show All That, and later her own spin-off series, The Amanda Show.

You may also recognize Amanda from her roles in the comedy films She’s the Man, Hairspray, and Easy A.

The star, now 39, quit acting in 2010. She told Paper Magazine that she was struggling with “self-esteem issues” and “couldn’t stand” to watch her own work.

In the years that followed, she experienced substance dependence issues and legal troubles, which led to an eight-year conservatorship from 2013 to 2022. She is now focused on her career in fashion design.
