Amanda Bynes Awards:
2007 Screen Actors Guild Awards: Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture - Nominee.

Amanda Laura Bynes was born on April 3, 1986, in Thousand Oaks, California. The youngest of three children, she became interested in acting and performing from the age of three, when she would say her older sister Jillian's lines with her while she performed in plays. It was from then on that her family and friends knew that she would be a star someday.

In 1999, 13-year-old Amanda was given her own variety show, "The Amanda Show" (1999), in which she starred in all of the skits except Totally Kyle. In 2001, she co-starred with Frankie Muniz in Big Fat Liar (2002) as Kaylee, Jason's friend who helps him prove that he really did write the essay "Big Fat Liar" and regain his father's trust. It was also in 2001 that she began dating Taran Killam from "The Amanda Show" (1999) and Big Fat Liar (2002), who is four years and two days older than she is. She also won a Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award and, at age 15, "The Amanda Show" (1999) ended its run.

In 2002, she began co-starring with Jennie Garth in "What I Like About You" (2002) as Holly, a 16-year-old girl who moves in with her sister after their father decides to move to Japan. She also celebrated her Sweet 16th birthday and got her driver's license on April 3, 2002.

In 2003, Amanda won two KCA Awards and starred as Daphne, a girl searching for her father, in What a Girl Wants (2003) with Colin Firth and Kelly Preston as her parents. She continued acting in "What I Like About You" (2002) and broke up with Taran.

She got another starring role in the film "What A Girl Wants" (2003), pushing the actress way ahead of the young Hollywood pack. It was a coming-of-age movie with romantic comedy elements, so Bynes was able to showcase both her versatile acting range, but also the fact that she was growing into a lovely young lady. With mature forethought, she planned to affect a Sandra Bullock and Meg Ryan film route - actresses who could not only act but were not afraid to do physical comedy either. At a time when animated movies were also box-office dynamite, Bynes voiced for Piper in 2005's "Robots

Never much of an athlete as a kid, Bynes had always preferred musical theater and acting over sports. When her next movie "She's The Man" (2006), called for the actress to learn how to play soccer - as a man - she did so with flying colors.

Talented and mature well beyond her years, Bynes set out for an entirely new and different direction with her career. She launched a fashion line called "Dear By Amanda Bynes" in August 2007, with fun and trendy pieces her teen fans loved to wear. The line was sold exclusively at department store Steve and Barry's nationwide.

Amanda Brooks Biography


Name: Amanda Brooks
Date of Birth: June 22, 1981
Place of Birth: London, England, UK
Occupatoin: Actress

Amanda Brooks has always been drawn to the adult industry. During her last year of college, she began cocktailing at a top Dallas gentlemen's club. Six months later, she advanced to stripping, dancing her way around the major clubs in Dallas and Las Vegas.

At 26, still curious, she decided to place an escort ad online just for a weekend. That experiment was a success so she hung up her heels and began building her business as an independent escort.

Brooks' next films are the upcoming feature My Best Friend's Girl (with Kate Hudson and Dane Cook) and Stiletto (with Tom Berenger and Tom Sizemore). Brooks' life was filled with the arts from an early age, (her father is Academy Award winning composer Joe Brooks, best original song "You Light Up My Life") and she initially became involved in acting as a way to interact with others and overcome her shyness. Bitten by the acting bug, Brooks felt most at home delivering the lines of William Shakespeare and Tennessee Williams and soon found herself cast for roles in stage performances of Romeo & Juliet, The Glass Menagerie and Daisy Pulls it Off to name but a few. When stage work wasn't enough to quench her thirst for the art of performance she turned to film and packed her bags and headed for Hollywood landing supporting roles opposite famed and respected actors such as Jodie Foster (Flight Plan), Faye Dunaway (Cut Off), Malcolm McDowell (Cut Off), and Anne Archer (Cut Off). Brooks soon proved that she could hold her own. Each character gave her a new challenge and opportunity to push herself as an actor. She was not just playing the "Beautiful Girl" or the "Ingénue" she was giving her characters depth and with a deep understanding of the material she brought those written words to life and gave them meaning.

British actress Amanda Brooks premiered onscreen as an ingénue in her early twenties, in films of extremely diverse content. These included the Jodie Foster thriller Flightplan (2005), actor-turned-director William Katt's gentle family-oriented drama River's End (2005) and Korean director Shim Hyung Rae's effects-heavy monster saga Dragon Wars (2006).

Alyssa Milano is best known for her role as Phoebe in the series Charmed (1998-2006). Milano has been a familiar face on TV since co-starring in the hit sitcom Who's the Boss?, where she spent her childhood (1984-92) as tomboy Samantha Micelli, the TV daugher to star Tony Danza. In the early '90s she appeared in low-budget films and TV movies, and in 1997 she joined the cast of the primetime soap opera Melrose Place, where she spent two seasons as bratty babe Jennifer Mancini. Charmed, a series about three sisters with supernatural powers, debuted in 1998 and ran for eight seasons. Milano stayed throughout the show's many changes, including the departure of original star Shannen Doherty and the addition of newcomer Rose McGowan. She also sings (she released several records in the early 1990s), does charity work and appears in TV commercials (1-800-Collect and Veet). A longtime baseball fan, Milano writes a blog about her favorite team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and is behind the Touch line of ballpark apparel.

Her feature film credits include Fear (1996, with Mark Wahlberg), Hugo Pool (1997, with Patrick Dempsey) and Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star (2003).

Following her stint on "Charmed," which ended in 2006, Milano had a recurring role on "My Name is Earl" (NBC, 2005-09), playing the crazy third wife of the titular petty thief (Jason Lee), who hates the fact that he spends more time working on improving his karma by correcting the past than spending time with her. In 2007, the lifelong baseball fan served as a post-season correspondent for MLB.com's new broadband channel, "TBS Hot Corner." Back to television movies, she starred in "Wisegal" (Lifetime, 2008), playing a widowed wife and mother, who becomes involved with the Mafia and rises up the ranks, only to discover the danger it poses to her two sons.

One of the more popular "tweener" stars during the 2000s, Toledo native Alyson Stoner followed the path of many a 21st century ingenue by entering show business courtesy of Disney. Born in August 1993, Stoner began performing at the age of three, with jazz, tap, and ballet classes at O'Connell's Dance Studio in Holland, OH; she also modeled from the age of six, courtesy of Toledo's Margaret O'Brien Modeling Studio. Stoner's laurels in a number of related New York competitions convinced her parents to whisk her off to Los Angeles, where she signed with an agent and began landing acting parts in numerous productions.

While growing up, she studied ballet, tap, and jazz dancing at the O'Connell's Dance Studio in her hometown. She also modeled and trained at the Margaret O'Brien Modeling Studio there. She even attended the IMTA Convention in New York City with Ms.O'Brien's studio in 2000, and she won many awards in acting, modeling, and dance. After this, Alyson decided to try hip-hop dancing. She moved to LA and trained with such well-known choreographers as Wade Robson, Fatima, and Hi Hat. She auditioned and was cast to dance in the Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliott videos "Work It" and "Gossip Folks." Because of these videos, Alyson has been in demand by such media outlets as "Extra" (1994), "The Maury Povich Show" (1991), "Ellen: The Ellen DeGeneres Show" (2003), and magazines such as "YM" and "M." She performed on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" (1992), and with 'Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliott' at the 2003 American Music Awards, on "MTV's Fashionably Loud," and Seattle's Radio Concert. Not only is Alyson a talented dancer, she is also the co-host of the Disney Channel's "Super Short Show" (2002), an infomercial segment that sells upcoming DVD and Video releases of Disney features.

Stoner has also recently gone into voice acting, providing her voice for characters in the 2004 film Garfield, as well as on the animated series Lilo & Stitch: The Series and, more recently, as Isabella on Phineas and Ferb. Her recent credits include the lead role in the straight-to-DVD film Alice Upside Down, and the Disney Channel television film Camp Rock, where she stars alongside the Jonas Brothers.

These initial projects laid down a pattern that Stoner followed in successive years, wherein she alternated between vocal work -- on several Holly Hobbie & Friends releases and various other projects -- and live-action parts, such as a supporting role in the Disney Channel telemovie musical Camp Rock (2008). In summer 2008, she starred in the "dance video hybrid" The Alyson Stoner Project. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi.

Alyson began acting at the age of five in stage productions by churches her family attended outside Seattle, Washington, and in Thousand Oaks California.

Alyson Hannigan Boigraphy


NAME: Alyson Hannigan
OCCUPATION: Film Actress, Television Actress
BIRTH DATE: March 24, 1974 (Age: 37)
EDUCATION: Northside School of Performing Arts, North Hollywood High School, California State University, Northridge
PLACE OF BIRTH: Washington, D.C., D.C.

Actress. Alyson Hannigan was born on March 24, 1974 in Washington, D.C. Of mixed Irish and Jewish descent, her father, Albert, was an overnight truck driver, and her mother, Emilie, was a real estate agent. Her parents divorced when she was only two years old, and Hannigan and her mother moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Hannigan got her start in show business at a very young age, appearing in her first film — an instructional video for new parents called Active Parenting — before her first birthday. While still a toddler, she appeared in dozens of print advertisements and developed a love for posing before the camera. "Whenever they needed a baby, they would put me in front of the camera, and I loved it," she says. Hannigan then moved into commercial acting. At the age of four, she appeared in her first commercial for Duncan Hines, and she later appeared in national TV commercials for Oreos and McDonald's as well.

Hannigan attended the Northside School of the Performing Arts in Atlanta, where she played clarinet in the band and also featured for the soccer team. At the age of 11, she and her mother moved to Los Angeles so she could pursue her budding acting career more seriously. Three years later, in 1988, a 14-year-old Hannigan made her film debut in the sci-fi comedy My Stepmother is an Alien. For the next two years, she had a small but recurring role on the ABC fantasy sitcom Free Spirit. Still, at this point in her career parts were hard to come by, and Hannigan worked at a video store and as a babysitter to supplement her acting work. For a time she babysat the real-life daughters of Bob Saget, the legendary comedian and TV dad who would become her future costar on How I Met Your Mother. Hannigan graduated from North Hollywood High School in 1992 and enrolled at California State University, Northridge to study psychology. While taking classes at Northridge, Hannigan also continued to act, appearing in TV series such as Almost Home (1993) and Touched by an Angel (1994).

With her newfound recognition, Hannigan started landing roles in a number of films geared towards a teenage audience, including "Dead Man on Campus" (1998), in "Boys and Girls" (2000), her biggest film to date - the unexpected teen sex comedy hit, "American Pie" (1999). Playing off her natural geekiness, Hannigan portrayed the sweetly perverted flute-playing band geek Michelle Flaherty opposite Jason Biggs. Hannigan uttered the film franchise's most infamous line: "One time, at band camp " culminating in a hilariously x-rated explanation of what really did happen at band camp with that flute. The actress reprised her "Pie" role in the sequels "American Pie 2" (2001) and later, more prominently in the disappointing "American Wedding" (2003).

Crossing over to the "Buffy" spin-off, "Angel" (WB, 1999-2004), Hannigan reprised her role as Willow Rosenberg, appearing on the series in a number of episodes. In 2004, Hannigan made her stage debut opposite Luke Perry, starring in a stage adaptation of "When Harry Met Sally" at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London's West End. Returning to series television in 2005, Hannigan guest-starred on "Veronica Mars" (UPN, 2004- ) and landed a regular spot on the CBS sitcom hit "How I Met Your Mother" (2005- ) portraying kindergarten teacher Lily Aldrin. With such a workload, Hannigan found time to return to the big screen in the 2006 send-up of cheesy romantic chick flicks, "Date Movie," a modest hit.

In the aftermath of the show, Hilfiger went to rehab and she and Gleicher are no longer friends.Hilfiger has said since making the show that "If anyone asks me to drop my name to get them in someplace — no. I still work on picking those people out of my life."

She is currently attending the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York City and running her own vintage-accessories business, according to a 2006 British Vogue article on fashion designers' children.
