Amanda Bynes
Biography:
Popular, conventionally attractive
young actress Amanda Bynes rose to
fame on Nickelodeon as a preteen
starlet and moved on to the WB
network for her teenage years. In
1996, she became a regular cast
member on the kid's sketch comedy
show All That, which first earned her a
growing fan base of adoring admirers.
Sticking with Nickelodeon-style broad
comedy, she was a panelist on the
game show Figure It Out as well as
host for the popular variety show The
Amanda Show, which won several Kid's
Choice awards. After lending her voice
to the long-running cartoon Rugrats,
Bynes made the big switch from the
PG world of Nickelodeon to the PG-13
world of the WB with a part on the
short-lived series The Nightmare
Room, narrated by author R.L. Stine.
The next year she made her feature
film debut in the comedy Big Fat Liar
as the best friend of fellow young
superstar Frankie Muniz. In 2002, she
launched the WB sitcom What I Like
About You, playing a comedic younger
sister who moves into the trendy Upper
West Side apartment of her
straight-laced older sister (Jennie
Garth from Beverly Hills 90210).
Widely released one day after her 17th
birthday, the romantic comedy What a
Girl Wants marked her first major
starring role and showcased her
Sandra Bullock-style pratfalls as lead
Daphne, a girl who goes to England in
search of her father (Colin Firth) and
finds romance. Andrea LeVasseur, All
