AMANDA BYNES

Working since the tender age of seven, Amanda Bynes is considered a veteran of the biz even in her early twenties. Her incredible career has even helped her snag a Hottest, Coolest Young Veteran Award. Her comedic talents were visible right away. At only 13, Amanda began hosting her own variety hour, "The Amanda Show." She was also featured prominently on Nickelodeon's "All That." After honing her acting chops she starred in hit TV show "What I Like About You," and with her star power on the rise, she segued to the big screen.

Amanda appeared in several films including Big, Fat Liar, What a Girl Wants and Hairspray. She had a standout role in the comedy She's The Man. Another great role came in the modern retelling of Snow White called Sydney White, where Young Hollywood was lucky enough to hang out with Amanda at the premiere's after party.

In addition to acting, Amanda is a budding fashion designer with her own fashion line, Dear. Already hailing comparisons to the likes of Lucille Ball, Amanda continues to break the mold of the Hollywood stereotype. She's down-to-earth yet incredibly motivated and ready to keep the hits (and laughs) coming.
