At only 22 Amanda Bynes is considered a veteran of the biz, working since the tender age of seven. 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," where she performed in almost every sketch as a multitude of characters. After honing her acting chops she starred in hit TV show What I Like About You and with her star power on the rise segued to the big screen. Amanda appeared in several films including Big, Fat Liar, What a Girl Wants and Hairspray. Her first starring role was Sydney White, where Young Hollywood was lucky enough to hang out with Amanda at the premieres 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.
