AMANDA BYNES RETIRING FROM “ACTING”
June 21 2010
Hollywood, CA – Early retirement is the dream of just about every working slob. The ability to sit back and enjoy life rather than slaving away at a miserable job day after day is something most if not all of us would rather be doing. In the realities of the
modern economy though not only is early retirement out of the question but even old age retirement is gradually becoming a fantasy. For a rare handful however who have had a great deal of success retirement is not a dream, even when it comes at the age of 24.
Such is the case for former child star Amanda Bynes who on Sunday announced her retirement from showbiz. Making her mark in diverse projects such as ‘The Amanda Show’, ‘She’s the Man’, and ‘Big Fat Liar’, Bynes was a prototypes for a successful child star. Well balanced and intelligent, Bynes never gave into the indulgences that had beset many of her predecessors and peers such as Lindsay Lohan. Though she may eventually mount a comeback at some point, the reality of her retirement is upon the entertainment world. Her departure may not have the same kind of impact of a bigger star, but the loss is still tangible for an entire generation of moviegoers who had one dreamed of seeing her lose her clothes on the big screen.
“I've never written the movies & tv shows I've been apart of I've only acted like the characters the producers or directors wanted me to play. Being an actress isn't as fun as it may seem. If I don't love something anymore I stop doing it. I don't love acting anymore so I've stopped doing it. I know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first I've #retired,” Bynes announced on her Twitter account sending off a flurry of activity amongst her many followers and the media at large. She did not immediately state what new plans if any she has for the future.
“There are a handful of actors whose loss would be a huge blow to the entertainment community and the art of film. Amanda Bynes is not one of those people but there will undoubtedly be a handful of people who will lament this loss. People who grew up watching her shows and movies and dreamt of seeing her jiggle on the big screen for a number of 
years to come will no doubt feel this pain very significantly even if the rest of us could
care less,” said Scrape TV Entertainment analyst Tracey Temple. “I’m sure she’ll be back in very short order though I have to say that there may not be spot for her. Anthony Hopkins has retired a number of times, as has Michael Caine, but Bynes is neither one of those people. They will always have a home but that may not be the case for her. Her style just has a limited appeal.”
Though she has appeared in almost 20 separate projects it’s not clear in which of them she did the acting she was referring to in her tweet.
“I’m sure that for anyone between the ages of 20 and 25 had a serious crush on Bynes and had hoped that she would have gone onto more 
significant and less clothed roles in the future but that seems to at least be on hold. Of course if she doesn’t come back for a few years she will have started to sag and they will have gotten wives so her
appeal might be limited,” continued Temple. “Of course there’s always the sex tape route. Those do well for people who are barely celebrities but for someone who has been in the public eye and already made a mark that would be a huge boon to the career. I guess we’ll have to wait and see, or not, no biggie.”
Bynes final role will be in ‘Final A’. No one involved with the production had anything to say about her performance at all.
