Amanda Bynes is back on Twitter, and it’s not to call Miley Cyrus ugly or to tell Drake to murder her vagina. Instead, it’s to celebrate her time spent as Penny Pingleton on Hairspray.
On Monday, the actress posted for the first time in seven months to share a photo of her and Hairspray producer Neil Meron, who she described as “incomparable.”
Bynes famously starred in the 2007 musical alongside Zac Efron, Nikki Blonsky, John Travolta, and Queen Latifah.

The tweet was one of the few personal moments Bynes has shared since being placed under a conservatorship in 2014 (A.K.A. the time of previously mentioned tweets and a series of involuntary psychiatric holds). She was eventually diagnosed as bipolar with manic depressive disorder.
Since then, Bynes has reportedly made big strides toward improving her mental health. “The fact that Amanda is living on her own, making her own decisions and future plans is something her parents are so proud of,” Bynes’ family lawyer Tamar Arminak told E! News. “Finally she is surrounded by friends and companions she can trust and really open up to. She feels free to be herself, which brings her so much happiness and excitement for the future.”
Bynes is currently enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, and expected to graduate in Decemeber. Afterward, she’ll reportedly launch her own fashion line.
