Abstract: Suppose that H is a complex Hilbert space and that B(H) denotes the bounded linear operators on H. We show that every abelian, amenable operator algebra is similar to a C*-algebra. We do this by showing that if A is an abelian subalgebra of B(H) with the property that given any bounded representation $varrho:AoB(H_{v}arrho)$ of A on a Hilbert space $H_{v}arrho$, every invariant subspace of $varrho(A)$ is topologically complemented by another invariant subspace of $varrho(A)$, then A is similar to an abelian $C^{\ast }$-algebra.
