Date of birth: September 14, 1945

Amanda has contradictory relationships with her father. In her early interviews, she told, that her daddy was that person, who inspired her to become an actress. But later she wrote through Twitter that her dad was abusive and called her “ugly” when she was still a kid. After that, the actress printed a retraction. Probably, such cruel words were the result of Amanda’s meltdown, which she faced in 2013. After that, her father and mother applied for power of attorney over the TV star.

Jillian Joyce Bynes is Amanda’s older sister. Their age difference is just three years. Jillian tried her hand as an actress, too. She was busy at the set of “Amanda Show”. She left the movie industry in the middle 2000s and started a family with Brandon O’Keefe. She chose her sister Amanda as a bridesmaid. Jillian and her husband parented two kids.

She is a famous American actress, whose films are worth watching at least twice. She started in “She’s the Man”, “Big Fat Liar”, “What a Girl Wants” etc. Since 2010 Amanda’s acting career is in a slow face.

She is the daughter of two medical specialists, but acting has been the inseparable part of her life since childhood. Her father, a gifted dentist, practiced standup comedy after work at the night clubs. He taught his daughter to love and understand the art of acting. The girl decided to become an entertainer at a very early age.

Like many other stars, she started from commercials. The cute girl appeared in Nestle’s advertisement. Her cute smile attracted lots of people to the screen. She guested at the meetings of the humorous club “Comedy Store” at a tender age of 7. She acted at the theater stage, too. The girl demonstrated all the sides of her talent after appearing in several serious plays, like “To Kill a Mockingbird”, “The Mysterious Garden” etc.

Her first TV project was the sketch comedy series “All That”. She was a regular on the show during its 3-6 seasons. At the set, she cooperated with many child actors, who later turned into TV stars. Jamie Lynn Spears, Gabriel Iglesias, Drake Bell are among them.

The show has become a great start for her. At the age of 13, Amanda launched her TV program “The Amanda Show”. That project brought her incredible popularity and lots of prestigious nominations. After the end of the show in 2002, Ms. Bynes moved her way to the big screen, after Shawn Levy had invited her to his film “Big Fat Liar”, which again showered the young actress with people’s love and admiration. Her next screen work – “What a Girl Wants” just cemented her position of the aspiring Hollywood star.

Probably, Amanda could develop her versatile talent and demonstrate all its facets, but in 2009 she announced the end of her acting career. Now Ms. Bynes tries her hand as a fashion designer. In 2018 she graduated from the “Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising”.

Amanda Bynes is single as of 2019. She used to date the actors Drake Bell and Taran Killam, the rapper Kid Cudi and some others.

Ms. Bynes tells that she didn’t drink alcohol beverages at all and didn’t go out in her teens. But at the age of 16, she started to smoke marijuana and kept it secret from her family members. “They thought, I was a good girl”, she tells. Later she started to use pills to get slimmer because she thought; she looked too fat on the screen. Finally, she ended up using various kinds of drugs, including cocaine and Adderall.
She has two main passions in her life – acting and fashion. In 2007 she presented her fashion collection, which she did for Steve & Barry’s brand. Its name was “Dear by Amanda Bynes”.
Her height is 173 cm, and her current weight is not known. But the fans noticed that at the recent photos their favorite star had gained some extra kilos.
