HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Amanda Bynes apparently isn't retiring from showbiz after all.
Nearly a month after revealing her plans to quick acting at the tender age of 24, Bynes seems to have had a change of heart.
"I've unretired," she announced Friday evening on her Twitter page.
In June, Bynes shocked fans when she revealed her intentions to walk away from Hollywood.
"Being an actress isn't as fun as it may seem," she wrote on Twitter. "If I don't love something anymore, I stop doing it. I don't love acting anymore, so I've stopped doing it."
She added, "I know 24 is a young age to retire ... I've never written the movies and tv shows I've been a part of. I've only acted like the characters the producers or directors wanted me to play."
Bynes made her acting debut at the age of 13 on Nickelodeon's All That. That was followed by her own variety show, The Amanda Show, which ran for three seasons (1999-2002) on Nickelodeon.
In 2002, she began co-starring with Jennie Garth on the WB series What I Like About You, which aired for four seasons. Bynes then transitioned into a movie career, starring in such films as She's the Man and What a Girl Wants. Her last film role was Hairspray in 2007.
The actress next stars in the high-school comedy Easy A, which is scheduled to hit theaters in September.
