Biography

Miranda Taylor Cosgrove (born May 14, 1993) is an American actress, singer-songwriter, and producer. A teen idol of the 2000s and early 2010s, she was listed as the highest-paid child actor of 2012 by Guinness World Records and appeared on Forbes' "30 Under 30" list in 2022. Her accolades include four Kids' Choice Awards and an Emmy nomination. Cosgrove began her career at the age of seven, making several appearances in television commercials. She made her acting debut as Summer Hathaway in the film School of Rock (2003). She had her breakout role as Megan Parker on the Nickelodeon sitcom Drake & Josh (2004–2007) and achieved mainstream breakthrough success as Carly Shay on the Nickelodeon sitcom iCarly (2007–2012). She made her musical debut in mid-2008 with the soundtrack for iCarly, in which she performed four songs, including the show's theme song, "Leave It All to Me". In early 2009, she released her debut extended play, About You Now. The following year, she released her debut studio album, Sparks Fly, which peaked at number eight on the Billboard 200 chart while its lead single "Kissin U" peaked at number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified gold. Cosgrove began voicing Margo in the Despicable Me franchise in 2010, which are her highest-grossing films. She released her second extended play, High Maintenance (2011) and embarked on the Dancing Crazy Tour. She starred in the independent films The Intruders (2015), 3022 (2019), and North Hollywood (2021), and hosts the CBS series Mission Unstoppable with Miranda Cosgrove (2019–present). She then reprised her role as Carly Shay in iCarly's Paramount+ revival (2021–2023), which she also executive produced. She has since starred in the films Drugstore June, Mother of the Bride (both 2024) and The Wrong Paris (2025).
