Amanda Bynes – Good Girl
August 16, 2007 by Nikki Katz
What makes Amanda Bynes a good girl? MTV tells us!
Rap sheet: Broke out from the TV variety show “All That” to standout stardom on “The Amanda Show” in the late ’90s; went mainstream with “What I Like About You” on the WB; established herself in Hollywood with films like “She’s the Man” and “Hairspray”; and managed to maintain a squeaky-clean profile while transitioning from kid star into young adulthood.
What makes her a “good girl”: From the gender-bending comedy “She’s the Man” to the high-energy musical “Hairspray,” Bynes has brought her comedic appeal and likable girl-next-door charm to a multitude of projects. And throughout, she’s shown that the road from child star to adulthood doesn’t have to run through rehab or the county jail. She’s quick to credit her supportive yet strict parents for keeping her out of trouble. “I like being with my family and friends, and I don’t need to be out at the clubs,” she told “Access Hollywood.” “If you’re hanging out with the partying people or your parents don’t care, then it’s going to be harder. For me, I’m really close with my parents.”
Thats what I’ve always liked her, (and hate the media for) she seems to be ignored and others who in no way exemplify values you’d actually want your kids to have are glorified.
Yeah, I love her wholesome, fun-loving personality. I hope she can keep it up. Hollywood has a way of vomiting all its self-indulgent puke all over every rose petal that comes its way.
I’ve got a female friend that’s a clone of Amanda, only shorter. Her name is Monica. You’d swear they were separated at birth. She’s got the same personality, so I get the fun of pretending I’m hangin’ with Amanda.
