Amanda Bynes Hot PictureBiographyAmanda Laura Bynes was born on April 3, 1986, in Thousand Oaks, California. One could perhaps attribute her flair for comedy to her father, Rick, a dentist and comedy enthusiast who encouraged Amanda and her siblings to perform.

At the age of 10, she performed at a Laugh Factory kids' comedy showcase and was immediately approached by an executive from the Nickelodeon television network, and the laughs haven't stopped since.

She became well known for her spirited role in "Ask Ashley," a sketch about an advice columnist. Audiences began to remark -- as they still do today -- that she has a knack for comic timing, in the vein of female comedic greats like Lucille Ball and Tracey Ullman.
After four great years on the program -- during which time she won no less than four Kids' Choice Awards -- she was awarded her own show, appropriately titled The Amanda Show. Essentially, it was All That, with all Amanda. For three seasons it was the highest-rated live-action show on Nickelodeon.

Dan Schneider was the creator of both of her hit Nickelodeon shows, so it follows that he was the impetus and screenwriter behind Big Fat Liar, her 2002 film debut. Although Frankie Muniz from TV's Malcolm in the Middle was the movie's star attraction, audiences agree that Amanda's character was the funnier one, thanks to her physical comedy and hilarious impersonations.

In 2002, the WB network began airing the sitcom What I Like About You, which had been in the works for some time as a vehicle for Amanda. She stars as a teenage girl who moves in with her older sister in New York City and, naturally, turns her sister's world upside down.

Two years later, she appeared in the flicks Robots and Lovewrecked. In 2006, she had a role in She's The Man, and the following year Amanda appeared in Sydney White and the hit movie/musical Hairspray.
That same year, in 2007, Amanda Bynes signed a five-year deal with Steve & Barry's to create her own clothing collection, Dear.
