If not all, then many people know the actress Amanda Bynes. At the beginning of the 2000s, she was one of the brightest and most promising young stars in Hollywood. The secret of her success, colleagues believed, was that she was not afraid to laugh at herself.

“Amanda is not shy about clowning, she has a very attractive appearance, but if necessary, she will not hesitate to become strange and ugly. Being funny is the most important thing for her."

The girl was distinguished by an enviable diligence. In addition to cinema, she was often invited to various television shows. However, in 2009 everything went downhill. The girl was addicted to drugs and alcohol. In 2012, she was the culprit of several accidents (including in a state of alcohol intoxication), and then ended up in a psychiatric clinic.

Amanda was born on April 3, 1986 in Thousand Oaks, California. The girl was born in a family of dentists. Her father encouraged Amanda in every possible way in her passion for the theater.

At the age of 7, she first appeared on stage at the Los Angeles comedy club Comedy Store. Bynes made her screen debut in 1996 in the television series Stuff.

At the age of 13, the actress became the host of her own show, The Amanda Show. The girl 4 times became the winner of the children's award " Kids Choice" in the category "Favorite TV Actress".

The picture "Big Fat Liar" brought her another award - this time in the category "Favorite Movie Actress".

The next series, in which the actress starred, was "All the best in you" (Another name is "For what I love you"). It enjoyed great success for four seasons.

Then Amanda starred in such successful films as "What a Girl Wants", "Love on an Island", "She's a Man", "Hairspray", "Sidney White".

In "She's the Man"

In 2008, she was ranked 46th on the Hot 100 by Maxim. At that time, she was considered one of the most talented comedic actresses, but dreamed of trying her hand at dramatic roles. “Unfortunately, I have a reputation as a comedian,” she said. - It is difficult for producers to imagine me as a serious heroine. But I don't lose hope...

In the same year, Amanda first got into an accident. The girl was driving her BMW and made an unsafe maneuver, which resulted in a collision with another car. Fortunately, no one was hurt, and no alcohol or drugs were found in the actress's blood. After that, a whole “bouquet” of extraordinary actions began with the participation of Bynes, about which the press wrote.

In 2010, the girl announced that she wanted to finish her acting career. Amanda tweeted that "being an actress is not as fun as it sounds." She last appeared in the film "Easy A" in 2010.

In April 2012, Amanda was arrested for drunk driving. The girl crashed into the car and fled the scene of the accident. Even before the charges were filed, she wrote to Barack Obama himself, complaining that she was not guilty of anything.

Just a few days later, she again crashed into the car, while it turned out that the girl was driving a car without a license. Miraculously, she managed to avoid severe punishment.

That same year, she was photographed holding her phone, which is illegal while driving in California.

In August, the actress was accused of running away from the scene of the accident, and in September the girl was deprived of her driver's license.

However, shortly after that, she was again behind the wheel of a car, moreover, she was driving without headlights on.

Over time, she began to behave strangely, changed outwardly, made her cheeks pierced.

The actress began to behave inappropriately in public. The waitress of the Hollywood restaurant “Mel's Drive-In” said that once Amanda visited their establishment, she ate alone and behaved quite strangely. She clearly spoke with an imaginary person: it was about plastic surgery, then the actress got up several times and walked around the restaurant, continuing to carry on a conversation with an invisible interlocutor.

Another trick of Amanda was an insult to the singer Rihanna. On her Twitter page, Amanda told Rihanna that she named her dog after her, and that Chris Brown beat Ranna because she was not attractive. But literally after a while, Bynes deleted all statements from the blog.

And in the summer of 2013, Amanda tried to set fire to a canister of combustible material near someone else's house, right on the path leading to the owner's garage. The scene of the incident was near the home of the parents of the former actress in Los Angeles. For what purpose she set fire to the canister remains unclear, but in the course of these actions, Amanda accidentally splashed herself with a combustible substance and part of her clothes caught fire, which she managed to extinguish. Noticing the man, Bynes started to run, hailing a cab as she went. Jumping into the car, she drove to the nearest liquor store to wash off the remaining flammable liquid. The police soon found her, and Bynes was placed in a psychiatric hospital under 5150 (the patient is kept in the hospital for safety reasons, possibly even against his will, if there is reason that he is behaving very strangely, and is capable of harming his own health or others ).

did not go unnoticed and candid photos Amanda, which she posted on Twitter.

And a weird video.

On October 10, 2014, Amanda was again involuntarily admitted to a psychiatric clinic in Pasadena, California.

In 2015, Amanda left the psychiatric clinic. According to sources, after leaving the clinic former actress returned to study at the Institute of Fashion, Design and Merchandising, from where she had previously been expelled. According to some of her classmates from the institute, the former movie star was expelled for smoking cannabis. One student said that Amanda rarely attended classes. When she did appear in pairs, she was in a smoky state. Came in tinted glasses and laughed at inopportune moments. Sometimes she would make terrible arguments. In addition to all this, Bynes did not do her homework, but paid other students to do it for her.

In June 2017 she gave the first long years silent interview on Good Morning America. She said that last years studied and lived the life of an ordinary student.

The host of the program raised the issue of Amanda's return to the cinema. Here is what Bynes had to say about it:

“I dream of returning back to the big screens. I really miss my acting career. During the time that I was not filming, and this is already 7 years, I have accumulated a lot of information and emotions inside me. I would love to share them with the audience. I really hope that pretty soon I will be invited back to shoot, but for now, I decided to return to television in some kind of entertainment show. Despite the fact that I have changed in appearance, my ability to joke and entertain the viewer has not gone away.

Insiders report that the actress's new agent is now actively working on her return to the screens.

It's a pity that one day Amanda took the wrong road. Personally, I sincerely wish her to recover as soon as possible, finally come to her senses and live normal life. After all, not everything is lost, there is time to catch up. Moreover, she herself wants this, and this is the main thing.

Amanda Bynes, star of the teen comedies She's the Man and Hairspray, rarely appears in public, and each of her appearances is widely discussed by the public. Yesterday, the actress was spotted shopping in Los Angeles, where she went with her personal growth coach. Amanda behaved in the presence of photographers with restraint and calmness, she did not get into fights, as she used to. Attention in this case attracted the changes in appearance that happened to her for recent months, - the actress became very stout.

The last time fans could watch Amanda in the studio of the TV show Good Morning America, in June of this year, she gave her first interview in four years. The actress looked fresh and rested, she frankly talked about how her life has changed, and told about her creative plans.

I miss acting! I have something to say, and I really want to go back. I want to work on television, maybe soon I will become a member of one of the television shows,

Amanda then told, however, it has not yet been possible to see her on television screens.
