Amanda Michelle Seyfried was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania on
December 3, 1985. Her heritage is German. After watching Romeo + Juliet
with her father at the age of 10, she decided she wanted to become an
actress. To get there, she began her career as a model when she was only
11.

2. At that time, Amanda also had a love for Leonardo DiCaprio and probably
figured that becoming an actress was the way to meet the celebrity. She
said that she was kind of skinny and had braces, and she admits to being
not that pretty, but being a model was a fun experience, and she got a nice
paycheck with she used to buy sweets. At the age of 15, she started her
career as an actress, having acquired roles on the daytime soaps As the
World Turns and All My Children. At the age of 17, she ended her modeling
career and started taking voice instruction.

3. In 2003, Amanda graduated from high school, after having missed around
70 days of school during senior year due to her acting career. In 2004,
instead of going to Fordham University in New York, as she had planned,
Amanda made her theatrical debut in the motion picture Mean Girls, in
which she played Karen Smith. She initially auditioned to play Regina
George and had also been considered for the role of Cady Heron, but she
ended up with the role of Karen Smith. Seyfried then went on to pictures
such as Nine Lives and Alpha Dog and television series such as Veronica
Mars. She originally tried out for the lead role for that series, but eventually,
she was chosen to be another character. Her portrayal as Lilly Kane was
so compelling, they decided to use Seyfried more times than they had
initially planned.

4. In 2009, Seyfried was cast as the character Savannah Curtis in the
Nicholas Sparks penned movie Dear John. She also penned one of the
songs for the soundtrack. The movie tells the story of a soldier making
his way back home to reunite with his love during the waning days of
the American Civil War. Later in 2009, People Magazine voted Amanda
Seyfried one of the most beautiful people in their special issues.

5. In 2010, Amanda appeared as the title character in the theatrical film
Chloe, release by Sony. The role in that film won her favorable remarks
from critics. Then, in 2011, she was ranked #1 on People Magazine’s list of
25 Beauties at 25.

6. Seyfried’s latest film will be Les Miserables, which she states is her most
favorite musical, having seen the Broadway production while still in high
school. This theatrical film will be released late this year (2012).

7. When not acting, Amanda Seyfried lends her image to other roles of
importance. To give you an example, she appeared on the cover of three
Francine Pascal books. She was also dressed up as Alice of Alice in
Wonderland for a special spread in the Italian Vogue Magazine. If not for
her acting career, Amanda admits she would have most likely gone into
meteorology.
