Born in Thousand Oaks, California, Amanda Bynes began appearing in television ads at the age of seven, as well as acting on stage in various musicals. Beginning in 1996 she was cast in what would be a 70-episode-run on the sketch-comedy series All That, in1997 she became a regular panelist on Figure It Out, and in 1999, at age thirteen, she began hosting her own variety show, The Amanda Show. With these jobs drawing to a close in 2002, she was still much in demand, and in 2006 was named one of Teen People's '25 Hottest Stars Under 25'. Her final credit was the 2010 film Easy A, after which she announced that she would be taking an indefinite hiatus from her acting career.
