A child star who carried two Nickelodeon sketch shows, All That and her own The Amanda Show, before moving into teen comedy leads in Big Fat Liar, What a Girl Wants, She's the Man and Hairspray. She announced her retirement from acting in 2010 at the height of her visibility. The years that followed brought well-documented public struggles with mental health and substance abuse and a conservatorship under her parents from 2013 to 2022, which has since ended.
