Amanda Bynes
Amanda Bynes began her career as a child actress, appearing on Nickelodeon’s All That and The Amanda Show before starring on The WB’s sitcom What I Like About You from 2002 to 2006. Bynes starred in films Big Fat Liar (2002), She’s the Man (2006), Hairspray (2007), Sydney White (2007) and Easy A (2010) before retiring from acting at 24 years old.
Bynes’ mental health, substance abuse and legal issues have been highly publicized since she was charged with driving under the influence in 2012. The actress was under a conservatorship, filed by her mother, from 2013 to 2022. Bynes earned a fashion design degree from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in 2019 and launched a podcast with Paul Sieminski in 2023.
Bynes has been romantically linked to Doug Reinhardt, Frankie Muniz, Taran Killam and Drake Bell. She went public with on-off partner Paul Michael in 2020.
