Mandy was born on April 10, 1984 in Nashua, New Hampshire as Amanda Leigh Moore.

For me, she is one of those names that kept popping up, most recently in "Tangled," and I always wondered who she is... now I know. She is definitely more than meets the eye. If she is truly like what she says about herself, she'll be happy and will go far, whether famous or not.

She is 5' 10" [1.78 m] tall.

Quotes:

• I'm a spiritual person and a religious person. But for me, it's all a personal thing. I'm not someone who'll say, 'This is what I believe, and you should too!' It's more of an internal, quiet, grounded, fulfilling thing for me.
• When two people - regardless of gender - long to care for each other, to protect each other, to treasure each other, we should do everything we can to foster that.
• I want to learn about a different religion. I grew up Catholic, but my grandfather was Jewish. Knowledge about other religions can help you understand your own better. I think it's kind of hypocritical to believe one thing and don't know about any others. A friend once told me it made her sad to think that if we were to pass away, I would go to heaven but our Jewish friend wouldn't because she doesn't believe in Jesus. That totally sent me over the edge! I'm happy with what I believe, but I'm open to the fact that there are people with different faiths, and they might be as passionate about theirs as I am about mine.
• A smile is so sexy, yet so warm. When someone genuinely smiles at you, it's the greatest feeling in the world.
• It would be completely uncomfortable to walk down the street and know that the person passing by had seen me without my clothes on. I've turned down several roles where the producers or writers wouldn't budge on that point. I'm not saying that it's wrong for someone else to do them, but I think there's a way to be feminine and sexy without posing half-naked.
