Bynes, who was 13 when she landed her own hit variety program, "The Amanda Show" on the Nickelodeon cable network, went on to star in the TV series "What I Like About You" and several movies, including "What a Girl Wants," "Hairspray" and "She's the Man." She has publicly stated that she has retired from acting. Her last film credit was 2010's "Easy A," which starred Emma Stone. Bynes amassed $4 million in savings but has spent $1.2 million in a short amount of time, her parents' petition states. They state they suspect some of the money has been spent on drugs and plastic surgery, citing bills they have received from doctors and large payments their daughter has made to people they don't know. "Amanda has profound issues with her body image and is obsessed with the idea that she (and others) are
'ugly,'" the petition states, adding that some of the statements have been made about members of her own family. "She talks incessantly about cosmetic surgeries that she wants to have completed," the filings state. "We are concerned that the surgeries she wants to have are dangerous and detrimental to her health."
