Vanity Fair July 2008, Pin-up, Amanda Seyfried

Age: 22.
Provenance: Allentown, Pennsylvania.

You know her… as the coming-of-age teen in everyone’s favorite polygamy-motif’d TV show, Big Love. But you’ll see her next as Meryl Streep’s daughter in the screen adaptation of Mamma Mia! “She’s the coolest human being ever,” says Seyfried of her on-camera mom. “She didn’t treat me like I was younger. She respected me. I couldn’t ask for anything better.” Diablo rising: Next up for Seyfried is Jennifer’s Body, the latest project from multi-tattooed Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody. “I play the nerdy best friend of Jennifer, who becomes a zombie,” says Seyfried. “I’m like the heroine of the movie. I have to try to save the small town we live in.”
