- The director noted Bynes' professional conduct on set despite challenges.
Will Gluck, director of the 2010 comedy Easy A, has spoken about Amanda Bynes' professional conduct during her final film role. Gluck stated that Bynes was "100 percent a pro" on set and did not audition for her part, unlike many other actors. Despite Bynes being a "huge star" at the time, Gluck noted that her role as Marianne Bryant was secondary to Emma Stone's character.
Bynes retired from acting shortly after Easy A's release in 2010. She subsequently faced public struggles with mental health, substance abuse, and legal challenges. From 2013 to 2022, Bynes was under a conservatorship managed by her parents. Gluck expressed surprise at her later difficulties, emphasizing that he observed no issues during filming, with her parents present on set.
In recent years, Bynes has explored other creative ventures, including podcasting, fashion design, and music. In April 2025, she launched an OnlyFans account. This past April, she released a song titled "Girlfriend" in collaboration with Zabba and Fenix Flexin.
