From Big Fat Liar and What a Girl Wants to She's the Man, Amanda continued to reel in the hits before bowing out of Hollywood in the late 2000s to work on her mental health and to battle her struggles with drugs.

Amanda, 35, would enter and complete rehab, and late last year was seen in LA with fiancé Paul Michael.
