In 1999, we were introduced to Mandy Moore<\/a><\/strong> thanks to her debut record So Real<\/em> and hit single “Candy.”<\/p>\n

A few years later, fans learned that not only was the singer not just a one hit wonder, but she actually had a lot of other talents in her basket.<\/p>\n

In 2001, Moore proved that singing was just one of her skills when she portrayed mean girl Lana in The Princess Diaries<\/em>, which was her first big screen role. Nearly two decades later, the New Hampshire native<\/a> has a career that most actors would kill for.<\/p>\n

She has appeared in numerous movies, including A Walk to Remember<\/a><\/em> and Because I Said So,<\/em> and has been on a lot of different TV series as either a recurring character or as the lead AKA her role on This Is Us<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Oh, and she’s a Disney princess! <\/p>\n

Now that Moore is turning 35 years old\u2014today is her birthday!\u2014we’re taking a look back at all of her roles that have made an impression on audiences over the past 20 years. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

While we patiently wait for Moore to make a music comeback<\/a>, we can all revel in the fact that when it comes to acting, she’s not going anywhere.<\/p>\n

Whether you love the brunette beauty<\/a> as Jamie in A Walk to Remember<\/em> or were totally obsessed with her in Saved!<\/em> Moore has a role for everyone to love. Just look at her time on This Is Us<\/em> as Rebecca Pearson. She’s so freaking lovable and that’s just one<\/em> of her memorable roles.<\/p>\n
