Amanda seeked advice from John Travolta

National Ledger reported that Amanda turned to John Travolta for advice on the set of Hairspray:

"He's such a nice guy, and he's such a legend that you want to take notes and sort of pick his brain," says the gifted 21-year-old comedic actress. She adds, "We were totally singing all of the 'Grease' songs with him, and then we were all texting our friends afterwards."

Amanda is "very excited about the movie because I got to sing and dance. It was like a dream come true," she says. She also recently wrapped "Sydney White," a modern-day take on "Snow White," in which she plays a college coed who befriends seven campus "dorks."
