Bynes would capture the world’s heart in hit films such as She’s The Man, What a Girl Wants and Hairspray before shocking everyone in 2010 when she announced she was retiring from acting and was done with the spotlight.

In 2001, Bynes was fresh off the success of her hit Nickelodeon series and landed a recurring role voicing the character of Taffy on the iconic cartoon Rugrats.
Following her roles in Hairspray and Sydney White, the actress stunned in a gorgeous blue gown at the SAG Awards in 2008.
The fresh-faced star looked incredible wearing a lime green formed-fitting dress in 2009, a year before she abruptly quit acting.
In 2012, the troubled starlet's world began to crumble as she was spotted leaving the drunk tank after getting arrested.
The infamous blonde wig she wore to court in 2013 spelled real trouble for the once promising young actress.
After a years-long social media hiatus, Bynes looked unrecognizable in a selfie her fiancé, Paul Michael, posted of her in 2020 — sporting a heart tattoo on her cheek and a nose ring.
The latest picture her fiancé posted on January 11 had many fans begging for the starlet to reach out for help.
