Amanda Bines: biography
Amanda was born on April 3, 1986 in the city of Thousand Oaks in California. Mother Lynn then worked as a dental assistant, and father Rick worked as a dentist. By the way, it is the girl’s father that can be thanked for the appearance of such an extraordinary star. After all, Rick Baines is simply a master of humorous improvisations, who always encouraged children to develop creative talent and improve stage abilities.
By the way, Amanda is the youngest of three children. Her brother Tomia (born in 1974) works as a chiropractor. Sister Gillian (born in 1983) is also engaged in acting, but in addition to this, she managed to get a bachelor's degree in history, studying at the University of California.
