The Transformation Of Mandy Moore From 17 To 36 Years Old

Publish date: 2024-04-22

Born Amanda Leigh Moore on April 10, 1984, in Nashua, N.H., Moore was born into talent. Moore was inspired to seek out opportunities in show business by her ballerina grandmother, Eileen Friedman. "She was always an encouraging force in my life," a 23-year-old Moore told Seminole Magazine. "I guess I had a bit of the performer in my blood because of her...she was always thrilled to see me on stage." With the encouragement and support from her family, Moore went after her dream by enrolling in acting and vocal lessons. With some training under her belt, Moore joined local musical theater performances and even became a national anthem girl at different events in Orlando, Fl., where her family was living at the time.

"I actually broke into the business by being in the right places at the right time," Moore told a House of Pop audience in 2000. "I did a lot of musical theater and TV commercials and sang the national anthem, anything to get my voice out there and finally, I was just singing around town." Moore's right. She was in the right place — just in time for her big break into music.
