Mandy Moore

Amanda Leigh "Mandy" Moore (born April 10, 1984) is an American pop singer and actress. She was born in Nashua, New Hampshire, but grew up in Seminole County, Florida, outside Orlando. In between releasing albums, she attended Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs.

Career

The first single, "Candy", from the CD So Real (1999), was released when Moore was only 15 years old and is an example of the kiddy-Britney-Spears-pop-wave that dominated most of the charts in 1999 and 2000. The second single was "Walk Me Home". Her second CD effort, I Wanna Be With You (2000) featured both new material and a few tracks from "So Real". I Wanna Be With You spawned the hit "I Wanna Be With You", which was featured in the movie Center Stage.

Moore ventured into Hollywood when she appeared in a small part as a mean, blonde, popular cheerleader Lana Thomas opposite Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews in the movie The Princess Diaries (2001). (Previously she had appeared in the straight-to-video children's movie "Magic Al and the Mind Factory" and had done a voice role for "Dr. Doolittle 2".) In the movie, Moore, as Lana, performs with friends Anna and Fontana. The song, "Stupid Cupid," can also be found on the movie's soundtrack.

Next, Moore released a self-titled album. The singles from Mandy Moore (2001) released in the U.S. were "In My Pocket," "Crush," and "Cry." The songs "17" and "Saturate Me" were both released as singles overseas. This album also showed her more mature and developed voice, in comparison to her past releases.

Shortly after the release of her album, Moore portrayed Jamie Sullivan, her first starring role, opposite Shane West in A Walk to Remember (2002). The movie, based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, revolves around the developing romance between social outcast and devout Christian, Jamie, and West as bad boy Landon Carter. Although the movie was by no means a critical hit, it did cement Moore's status as a genuine actress. The soundtrack featured four songs by Mandy (Cry, Someday We'll Know, It's Gonna Be Love, and Only Hope).

In her fifth movie release, she stars as Halley Martin in How to Deal (2003). Allison Janney, Peter Gallagher, Alexandra Holden, and Trent Ford also star. Halley is a troubled teen who decides to abandon love after witnessing her parents' (Janney and Gallagher as Lydia and Len) divorce, her best friend's (Holden as Scarlett) unexpected incident, and her sister's rocky engagement. Macon (Ford) comes along and restores Halley's faith in finding happiness when in love. Her other movies include box office flop Chasing Liberty (2004) and religious satire Saved! (2004). Upcoming roles include the movies Romance & Cigarettes and Racing Stripes (voice).

Moore returned to her music and released a fourth album titled Coverage (2003), an album consisting entirely of covers of old songs that Moore was influenced by as a child, and songs she recently discovered. Her first single off the album is "Have a Little Faith in Me." A video was made for the song "Drop the Pilot", and supposedly released as a single somewhere in South America. When she was dumped by her record company Epic Records, Mandy signed with Warner Brothers Records. Apparently, she has been working on a new album since August 2004.

Sony released a "Best Of" compilation in November of 2004 consisting of the best songs off her 4 previous albums and various soundtrack contributions. It featured her six TOP 40 and two HOT 100 hits. Overall, Moore has had a successful musical career in North America. She has sold about two million albums during her career. However, her single releases did little in other parts of the world. The same goes for her movies. None of them, except for The Princess Diaries, Racing Stripes and Dr. Dolittle 2 (where her voice was dubbed), were released in Europe.

Trivia
