Amanda Bynes is a 21-year-old actress who is known for her comedy roles in movies like She’s the Man and What a Girl Wants. She says that she got into comedy because she was very shy growing up and did not think of herself as pretty. She plays this up by portraying the nerdy Penny Pingleton in Hairspray. She is a fashionista with her own clothes line, and her nightmare is being stranded without her makeup bag.
