Amanda Seyfried, Vanity Fair's "New Wave"

After playing backup characters on Big Love and in Mean Girls, All My Children alum Amanda Seyfriend is about to "make it big" with the July 18 premiere of Mamma Mia, the big screen adaptation of the hit musical, starring opposite Hollywood legend Meryl Streep and former Jame Bond star Pierce Brosnan, among others.

Hollywood is hoping Mamma Mia is this summer's Hairspray styled success and though that has yet to be seen it has been great for Amanda who was named Vanity Fair's July Pin-up girl and appeared on this month's cover with Gossip Girl's Blake Lively, Panic Room star Kristen Stewart and Nancy Drew star Emma Roberts.
