Conservatorship of Amanda Bynes, who has been under it since 2013, will be terminated after the actor and her mother have worked together to improve the star’s mental health.
Bynes rose to fame after acting in a number of successful television and film projects, including her own Nickelodeon sketch comedy series, All That, as well as the WB sitcom What I Like About You and the 2010 comedy picture, Easy A.
However, in 2013, at the age of 27, she was placed under a conservatorship after a series of bizarre episodes, including the suspected setting on fire of a driveway. According to her lawyer David Esquibias, her parents were worried about her and did what they thought was best for her at the time.
