The good thing about Hollywood is actually it’s a very forgiving place. As much as the media might like to document celebrities personal struggles, when they manage to get themselves back on track, Hollywood is usually ready to welcome them with open arms. Think of how Drew Barrymore managed to turn her career around after, like Amanda being a successful child star and then battling some very public demons. Then there’s Robert Downey Jnr. who really managed to do a complete 360 with his career and has now become a major box office star thanks to Iron Man. Whilst Amanda’s problems, wether they are due to a mental illness as first reported or due to marijuana, are different from the two aforementioned stars, she can still look to them as an example of how any career problems can eventually be overcome.


For us who grew up watching Amanda Bynes on Nickelodeon, a return to what she does best would be surely welcome. However the most important thing is that Amanda gets healthy and happy again, from the looks of things she is on the road to recovery, but its not something that happens overnight. For now any idea of a career comeback should be put on the back burner until Amanda is sure she’s ready to take the spotlight again.
