Amanda Seyfried is an American actress who started her career as a model at a young age. Thanks to her vocal abilities, she was able to take place in musical films.

early years

Amanda Seyfried was born December 3, 1985 in Allentown, eastern Pennsylvania. Her middle name is Michelle. The actress has an older sister, Jennifer, who later also chose a career in show business: she sings in the Love City group, which gravitates more toward the rock style. But Amanda's parents have nothing to do with the stage: Ann's mother is a psychotherapist, and Jack's father worked as a pharmacist.


Seyfried debuted as a model at the age of 11. The professional agency Image quickly signed a contract with her, which also arranged for Amanda a number of photo shoots and an advertising contract for several brands of clothing for children. Subsequently, the young model changed representatives twice, found herself on the cover of several Francine Pascal romance novels and put an end to her modeling career even before receiving a certificate. The reason was largely a change of priorities and the desire to be realized in the acting field.


In 2003, the future actress graduated from high school and moved to New York, where she entered Fordham University.

Actor career

Amanda's first role was Lucy from As the World Turns (1999). After finishing this job, Seyfried quickly received a new offer for the long-running soap opera All My Children: it appeared in three episodes in 2003.


Then there were short appearances in Law & Order. Special Corps (2004) and C.S.I. Scene of the crime "(2006). Between these events, Amanda managed to get a role in "Veronica Mars" (2004), where Kristen Bell shone in the foreground, and also made her debut in a big movie in a comedy with Lindsay Lohan "Mean Girls" (2004).


2005 can be considered a turning point in the career of the actress: several films were released, where she was no longer in episodic and secondary roles. These include Nine Lives by Rodrigo Garcia and Alpha Dog with Justin Timberlake and Sharon Stone. For her role in the first, Amanda received an award at the Locarno International Film Festival, and the MTV Movie Awards in the same year noted the acting ensemble of Mean Girls.


Since 2006, Seyfried has starred in Big Love for several seasons. This did not prevent the work on feature films and other TV projects. The brightest role of this period is the musical "Mamma MIA" (2008) based on the songs of ABBA. Amanda joined the stellar cast of artists led by Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth.

Since that moment, passing projects have practically disappeared from Amanda's filmography, and the number of genres has increased. The tense horror films Jennifer's Body (2009) and Chloe (2009) were followed by the romantic Dear John (2010) and Letters to Juliet (2010).


Amanda returned to musicals in Les Misérables (2012), where the actress worked with stars such as Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman.


She did not refuse even small roles if the film itself seemed interesting. So it was with "A Million Ways to Lose Your Head" (2014) by Seth MacFarlane, later the director called Seyfried in "Ted 2" (2015).
