Born on December 3rd, 1985, in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Amanda Michelle Seyfried is an American actress who rose to prominence thanks to her appearance in the teen comedy Mean Girls. She started out her career as a model for clothing ads and book covers, until she decided to stop at the age of seventeen.

Afterwards, in 2003, she had a three-episode run on another soap opera, All My Children.
In 2004, Seyfried started to gain attention thanks to her debut film, Mean Girls (which has now become a cult classic) and her participation in television mystery drama series, Veronica Mars, as a recurring character (2004-2006.) During this time she also made guest appearances in House, Wildfire, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Justice. In 2006, Amanda was cast in HBO drama series Big Love, further propelling her rise to fame. She stayed on the show until 2011, when she left to concentrate on her film career. Following her departure from the show, her television roles were few and sporadic, as she took only voice roles in American Dad!, Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, and Family Guy, and did four episodes in 2017’s sequel to mystery show Twin Peaks.
In 2008, Seyfried played one of the lead roles in the romantic musical comedy Mamma Mia!, inspired by ABBA songs. The film was a big success at the box office, even though it received mixed reviews. Amanda reprised her role for the 2018’s sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. Her acting credits also include Chloe (2009,) Jennifer’s Body (2009,) Dear John (2010,) Letters to Juliet (2010,) Red Riding Hood (2011,) In Time (2011,) and Gone (2012.)
