Diane Lane's maternal grandmother, Eleanor Scott, was a three-times married Pentecostal preacher of the Apostolic denomination, and Diane Lane was influenced by the theatricality of her grandmother's sermons. Diane Lane began acting professionally at the age of six at the La MaMa Experimental Theater Club in New York, where she appeared in an production of Medea. At 12 Diane Lane had a role in Joseph Papp's production of The Cherry Orchard with Meryl Streep. Also at this time, Diane Lane was enrolled in an accelerated program at Hunter College High School and was put on notice when her grades suffered from her busy schedule.
Amanda Bynes appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair's July 2003 edition with nine of Hollywood's other female young stars, including Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff, Alexis Bledel, Raven-Symoné, Evan Rachel Wood, the Olsen Twins, and Mandy Moore. Although Amanda Bynes is often compared with them, Bynes has said that "It's like being the hot girl at the high school party. I was never that girl. I grew up with terrible acne and feeling insecure. I was tall and skinny. I didn't feel pretty at all, and guys didn't even like me. That's why I got into comedy." Amanda Bynes has also said that her relatability to teenage audiences may stem from the fact that she is "more similar to them than some... socialite or whatever".
