Amanda Bynes is a beautiful actress that had an amazing career in the 90s and 2000s. She started off as a child star and made it to big banner films in Hollywood.

Thankfully, she managed to call 911 and the authorities got her admitted to a suitable institution. The latest reports indicate that Bynes is making good progress at the facility and things look good for the star.
