MANDY MOORE - MOORE SNUBS GOOD GIRL ROLES

Singer-turned-actress MANDY MOORE is desperate to turn her back on teen movies to star in gritty, dark dramas.

The CANDY beauty, who turned 21 yesterday (10APR05), has starred in a string of hit teen films, including SAVED!, A WALK TO REMEMBER and THE PRINCESS DIARIES.

Moore is looking forward to introducing herself to an adult audience in forthcoming adultery musical ROMANCE AND CIGARETTES, in which she stars alongside KATE WINSLET, SUSAN SARANDON and JAMES GANDOLFINI.

Moore admits she is constantly receiving "crap" scripts.

She says, "Everybody thinks, 'Oh Mandy Moore, she seems so wholesome and sweet. I don't want to play myself all the time."
