She was first arrested for DUI in 2012 but avoided jail by completing treatment. Bynes was hospitalized for months after setting a driveway on fire in 2013.
In early 2014, she was placed on three years' probation.
Her second DUI in late 2014 could have put that in serious jeopardy and had Amanda facing jail time, but the case was tossed for unknown reasons.
Even more importantly, and positively?
Bynes and her parents, Lynn and Rick, are getting along these days. Just a few months ago, if you recall, Amanda threatened to kill her dad on Twitter.
"Amanda is doing much better from where she was months ago," says a family source, who says that the aspiring fashionista "has her own apartment."
Amanda Bynes was a delightful child star with a bright career whose hard-partying ways and obvious mental issues have made for many sad headlines in recent years.
Lindsay Lohan had a bright, bright future when she hit the scene. And then her star went completely out and now she can't even keep a reality show afloat.
Teen singing rival to Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera was also a Mouseketeer. She managed to keep her nose clean while growing up and landed a job on The Voice.
Daniel Radcliffe was only part of the way through filming the Harry Potter franchise when he decided to shed his child-star image by performing in the nude in Equus. Yep. That'll do it.
Rupert Grint might be Ron Weasley, but as an adult Rupert Grint is just sort of hot. While he's not making too many films right now, we certainly have hopes that will change.
