Will she come back?

I guess it depends on if TMZ or the Inquirer go broke or the public loses interest in the latest mud about her or not.

Amanda Bynes can clean that mud right off of her and get back if that's What a Girl Wants.

Talent like that does not just disappear into thin air. You have to be a little mad by ordinary standards to have that kind of genius at such a young age.

She just needs to be focus and dedicated to making her life the best it can be.

This might sound bad, but in a way I hope she doesn't. Let me explain.

The Hollywood lifestyle is rough. You're constantly in the limelight, constantly being picked on, constantly being told you have to act a certain way, that kids are looking up to you and you have to be a good role model for them, blah blah blah. Not to mention that film acting isn't exactly the cake walk people think it is. It's 12 hour days, 6 day weeks on set where you're expected to always be "on". All to make a movie that people may not even see or like. It's honestly a wonder more actors don't break down.

I think she said one time "Acting isn't as fun as people think it is" (probably not the exact quote but whatevs). Why should she continue in a career that isn't making her happy? It's not like she has to for financial reasons. I don't know if she'll ever be completely out of the limelight, but I hope she can spend her time doing something she loves, something that will put her mind at ease.

And for those of you saying "we want Amanda!"- you still have her old movies and shows you can watch. Be glad we got this talented young woman as long as we did.

Amanda seemed to me to be a most incredibly relaxed person who actually enjoyed what she was doing, especially in her later Movies. I was really surprised at the direction in which her life went.

Sadly, this sort of thing happens to even the most talented people. Perhaps even more often to the most talented people.

Very good point.....and I remember the "Acting isn't as fun as people think it is" well.

Amanda Bynes is hot and Lindsay Lohan is not.

I guess she grew tired of it and lost that passion within her.

Sounds similar to a doctors work. Yet, you do not tell people not to be doctors. If she comes back, she comes back. I would love to see her in more movies.

There seems to be a shortage of new projects for a grown or mature Amanda..a stage in life she couldn't adapt to very well anyway.
