These throwback snaps are amazing

It has been 16 years since the Mean Girls film was released back in 2004, making Amanda just 19 at the time of filming. Speaking about making the film to Variety, she said: “I only knew one very specific genre, one medium — that being, shooting an episode a day of a soap opera. Just hitting my mark, and all these other bells and whistles that I had never seen before, it just felt really daunting and exciting.”

She added that she didn’t have any clue that it would become such a huge success, explaining: “Because it was produced by Lorne Michaels and starring Tina, and written by Tina, it just felt like just another ‘SNL’ comedy. And I had no idea.

The cast all enjoyed doing karaoke

"But I never had any expectations of anything. I was just glad to be working as an actor, getting paid to speak actual dialogue — as opposed to being in the background.” Amanda has gone on to have a star-studded career, and has appeared in Les Miserables, Mamma Mia, Dear John and Mank.
