Born: Thursday, April 3rd, 1986

Amanda Laura Bynes is an American actress, former show host on Nickelodeon, and fashion designer. After appearing in several successful television series on Nickelodeon in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Bynes has moved into a film career, starring in several films aimed at teenage audiences, including her latest, She's the Man, and her upcoming role in the film version of the musical Hairspray. She was on the 2007 Forbes list as the 5th highest paid celebrity under 21 earning $2.5 million.

Bynes has been described by The Boston Globe as having an "Everygirl" appeal, embodying "both everything her teen fans dream of being and everything they know they really are, and they love her for it." In 2006, she was named one of Teen People's "25 Hottest Stars Under 25".

Bynes was born in Thousand Oaks, California to Rick Bynes, a dentist who also practiced stand-up comedy, and Lynn Organ, a dental assistant. She has two older siblings, Tommy, a chiropractor, and Jillian, who has a B.A. in history from UCLA. Bynes' father is Catholic and her mother is Jewish, and Bynes has referred to herself as Jewish.

Bynes, who has a dog named Midge and drives a white Lexus SC430, graduated from Thousand Oaks High School's independent study program and has expressed a desire to attend New York University in the near future. She briefly moved into an apartment in Hollywood, California, but has since returned to her family home. She also wears contact lenses.

Bynes is interested in drawing (she once painted a portrait of David Letterman as a gift to him) and fashion design, having commented that she is "the girl whose biggest nightmare would be to lose my makeup bag while traveling".

Bynes turned 21 on April 3, 2007. Asked if she would be hitting the hot spots, Amanda replied, "I think I'll go out as much as I've ever gone out...which is not a lot. I like to dance and stuff, but drinking isn't good for you in every way. It's not good for your skin; it makes you feel horrible. So, drinking-wise, no."

Authors Kathryn and Ross Petras included Amanda in Unusually Stupid Celebrities: A Compendium of All-Star Stupidity , a collection of dimwitted quotes from celebrities like Paris Hilton and Simon Cowell. Bynes was quoted, "That is really nice when they are nice. When they are not so nice, it's not nice."

In an interview with Orlando Sentinel, Bynes hinted that college could be in her future. On the set of Sydney White she said, "[The film is] the closest thing I'll have to college [at the moment]. You never know, I'm thinking about [it] in the future."
