It's always nice to find a new face on the screen. And if the rising star is also talented, then you begin to closely monitor the development of her career. One of these amazing discoveries was Amanda Seyfried, whose filmography is replenished with new successful paintings, pleasing both fans (and there are already a lot of them) and critics. The latter note the obvious talent of the actress, as well as her amazing, bright appearance.
Modeling career
The future star was born in a family very far from show business. Her mother was a general practitioner, and her father was a pharmacist. But when one of the daughters showed a craving for creativity, parents tried to do everything so that her career wondered. Amanda has become a model. At that time she was 11 years old. The older sister Jennifer did not want to support the initiative of the younger. And she, in turn, after four years already tried her hand at the series.
However, study was not forgotten. In addition to graduating from high school in Allentown, Amanda Seyfried (the biography of the actress confirms the following facts) took lessons from Broadway teachers and even spent two years in classical opera.
TV series
As already mentioned, the actress made her first steps on the set of TV shows. The projects “While the world rotates” and “All my children” have become a launching pad. True, it was possible to light up only in episodic roles. An attempt to get on the main role in the youth “soap” “Veronica Mars” was also unsuccessful. Again, only a minor character got.
In addition, there were minor roles in the incredibly successful series Doctor House and Law and Order.
Movies with Amanda Seyfried
Strange as it may seem, the list of successes began with failure. Attempts in the movie "Mean Girls" were again a failure, instead of the coveted roles of Cady or Regina, Amanda again caught the wrong character. But the stupidest of the three girlfriends gave her creator the first prize from MTV. Not for nothing that the young actress refused for the sake of filming from entering Fordman University in New York.
Next was another strong project, which hit Amanda Seyfried. Her filmography was replenished with the drama "Nine Lives" by Rodrigo Garcia. Working alongside Sissy Spacek, Holly Hunter, Glenn Close is a more serious application than a small role in youth comedy. Moreover, the girl starting a film career was not lost, she managed to gain the attention of critics and spectators. For her game, she received an award from the jury of the international festival in Locarno.
So that no one could doubt her bright dramatic talent, Miss Seyfried starred in two “strong” films. In her personal piggy bank were two dramas: "Alpha Dog" and "American weapons." The director of the first film was Nick Cassavetes.
It's a breakthrough
In 2008, the next incredible breakthrough happened. Screen version of the Broadway musical "Mamma Mia!" made me remember vocal lessons. To say that after the release of the film world fame fell on its creators is to say nothing. It was, perhaps, the brightest moment of fame that Amanda Seyfried experienced. Her filmography, of course, and then replenished with good work, but such a flash of universal admiration was no longer repeated. Although still ahead.
After the comedy horror "Jennifer's Body" a real thriller appeared. Thin, psychologically verified, with a chic cast. Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore starred in Chloe next to Amanda.
After this came the period of melodramas. Mention should be made of the Letters to Juliet and Dear John.
In 2011, a new “Little Red Riding Hood” was submitted to the audience for an amazing mystical scenery. From a cute children's fairy tale, only the name remained in it, and the scarlet cloak of the main character performed by Amanda.
The fantastic thriller Time, in which Justin Timberlake was a partner of the actress, was also favorably received by fans.
The second musical, in which Amanda Seyfried participated, did not go unnoticed. The filmography of the actress replenished with the film adaptation of Les Miserables.
In 2013, the actress again starred in a drama. This time a biographical. The main character became an ambiguous personality - porn actress Linda Lovelace. Moreover, she earned the title of a pornstar by starring in just one film. Her contribution to the struggle for the rights and freedoms of women is much more significant.
Data
And now a little interesting facts.
Let's start with the most asked question. What is Amanda Seyfried's height and weight? Well, there is no secret. Height is 161 centimeters, but weight is 52 kg. The actress does not hide that she is on strict diets.
The girl has repeatedly appeared in the ratings of "The most beautiful and sexy people."
And the star claims that it was her father who gave impetus to her acting career. He was so fascinated by the film "Romeo + Juliet" that he convinced her daughter to take acting classes seriously.
It is also interesting that music lessons have become part of the life of Amanda's older sister - Jennifer, who plays in the Philadelphia organ group.
