Miranda Taylor Cosgrove (born May 14, 1993) is an American actress, singer, producer and host. 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), and her breakthrough role was Megan Parker on the Nickelodeon sitcom Drake & Josh (2004–2007). She rose to prominence for playing Carly Shay on the Nickelodeon sitcom iCarly (2007–2012) and its Paramount+ revival run (2021–2023), the latter of which she executive produced. She also voices Margo in the Despicable Me film series (2010–present), appeared in the films The Intruders (2015), 3022 (2019), North Hollywood (2021), Drugstore June (2024), and Mother of the Bride (2024), and hosts the CBS series Mission Unstoppable with Miranda Cosgrove (2019–present).

Cosgrove made her musical debut in 2008 with the soundtrack for iCarly, in which she performed four songs, including Leave It All To Me. In 2009, she debuted her first extended play, About You Now. Her debut studio album, Sparks Fly, was released in April 2010 to positive reviews from critics. The album featured the single "Kissin U" which peaked at number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified gold. The extended play (EP) High Maintenance was released the following year. To support both her album and EP, she embarked on the Dancing Crazy Tour.

Early life

[edit]

Cosgrove was born on May 14, 1993[1] in Los Angeles to Tom Cosgrove, who owns a dry-cleaning business,[5] and Chris (née Casey), a homemaker.[5] She has said that she is of Irish, English, and French descent.[6] She is an only child and was homeschooled from sixth grade onwards.[7][8] She struggled with body image during childhood.[9][10] Before becoming an actress, she wanted to be a veterinarian.[11]

At the age of three, she was discovered by a talent agent[5] while singing and dancing at the Los Angeles restaurant Taste of L.A.[12] Cosgrove says that when the agent approached her and her mother, she had "never really thought of being an actress" and "was lucky".[13] She then appeared in numerous television commercials for McDonald's[14] and Mello Yello,[14] and also modeled for various brands.[15] At the age of seven, she began auditioning for theater and television roles.[13]

Career

[edit]

2000s

[edit]

Cosgrove's first television appearance was in 2001 when she provided the voice of young Lana Lang in the pilot episode of Smallville.[16] She made her film debut in School of Rock (2003), directed by Richard Linklater. In the movie, she played Summer Hathaway, a young girl with great ambition and discipline who finds herself adjusting to the free-spirited nature of her new music teacher (Jack Black). On working with Black, Cosgrove said that "He just acts [as] the most normal, nice guy. He doesn’t seem like he thinks he’s Jack Black at all."[17] She also cited the scene in which her character tries to sing as particularly difficult: "[I'd] been taking singing lessons for about five years, so getting to sing badly was new. The director kept saying, 'Try to sing even worse, Miranda,' so it was weird."[14] School of Rock was both a box office hit, grossing over $130 million worldwide,[18] and a critical success.[19] David Ansen of Newsweek described her performance as "spot on".[20]

In 2004, Cosgrove landed her first major role in a television series when she was cast in the Nickelodeon series Drake & Josh, alongside Drake Bell and Josh Peck. In the series, she portrayed Megan Parker, the mischievous younger sister of the title characters. In 2005, Cosgrove was awarded the role of Munch in the Cartoon Network film Here Comes Peter Cottontail: The Movie. In the film, Cosgrove portrays a female mouse who is rescued from a hawk by Junior and Flutter and who goes on to join them on their adventure.[21] Cosgrove also guest-starred on two episodes of the animated comedy, Lilo & Stitch: The Series. She won her second major role in a theatrical film when she cast alongside her Drake & Josh co-star Drake Bell in the comedy film Yours, Mine & Ours.[22] The film performed mildly at the box office. Yours, Mine & Ours opened in third place, earning $17 million at the U.S. box office during its first weekend.[23] Cosgrove's third theatrical release, Keeping Up with the Steins, was released in 2006. It received generally negative reviews from critics and performed poorly at the box office.[24][25]

Cosgrove, c. 2009, on the set of iCarly

Cosgrove made guest appearances in a number of Nickelodeon series, the first of which was Zoey 101. Cosgrove later guest starred on an episode of Unfabulous, which starred Emma Roberts. Cosgrove was cast as the titular lead character in the sitcom iCarly,[26] which premiered on September 8, 2007. Creator Dan Schneider tailored iCarly around the interest young people have in the internet; viewers could submit their own videos and be included in the sitcom.[27] The final Drake & Josh episode was aired on September 16, 2007. By the summer of 2008, iCarly was the third highest rated series in the 9–14 demographic. The "iCarly Saves TV" special became the most-viewed entertainment show on cable television in June 2008.[14]

Her debut as a recording artist began with the iCarly theme song "Leave It All to Me",[28] which featured Drake Bell and was released as a single on December 2, 2007.[29] In June 2008, Columbia Records released the iCarly soundtrack, which featured four songs performed by Cosgrove and debuted at number one on the Billboard Kid Albums chart.[30][31] "Stay My Baby" was released as a promotional single from the album. In December 2008, a cover of the Christmas song "Christmas Wrapping" was released to promote the hour-long special Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh.[32] On January 28, 2009, Cosgrove released "About You Now" as the lead single from her upcoming debut extended play of the same name, that was released on February 3, 2008. "About You Now" peaked at number 47 on the Billboard Hot 100.[33][34][35] To promote the 2009 animated film Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Columbia Records released the promotional single "Raining Sunshine" with an accompanying music video in August 2009.[36][37] Cosgrove became one of MTV's Female Pop Rookies of 2009.[38] The same year, Cosgrove had a role in the straight-to-DVD film The Wild Stallion (2009).

2010s

[edit]

On March 17, 2010, it was reported that Cosgrove signed a deal, reportedly in the "low- to mid-seven-figure range" to do 26 additional episodes of iCarly.[39] Cosgrove also voiced Margo in the Universal Studios animated feature Despicable Me, released in July 2010. In 2010, Cosgrove worked with songwriters The Matrix, Dr. Luke, Max Martin,[37] Leah Haywood and Daniel James for her debut studio album, Sparks Fly. "Kissin U" was released as the sole single from Sparks Fly and premiered on Ryan Seacrest's radio show on March 12, 2010.[40] "Kissin U" became Cosgrove's best-selling single release, peaking at number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100 and being certified gold.[41][42] Sparks Fly was released in April 2010[43] and peaked at number 8 on the US Billboard 200 chart. In March 2011, Cosgrove released her follow-up EP High Maintenance.[44] It was preceded by the single "Dancing Crazy", which was written by Max Martin, Shellback and Avril Lavigne, and produced by Martin and Shellback.[45] The single peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 100.[44]

On January 24, 2011, she embarked on the Dancing Crazy Tour. The tour began in Missouri, traveled throughout the United States, and ended in Ohio. On July 15, 2011, the tour continued with the title, Dancing Crazy Summer Tour; Cosgrove traveled the United States and Canada and performed at music festivals and state fairs.[46] On May 17, 2012, it was announced that iCarly's sixth season would be its last.[47] The series finale, "iGoodbye", aired on November 23, 2012.[48] On January 24, 2012, Cosgrove was featured on the iCarly soundtrack, iCarly: iSoundtrack II.[49] Following the filming of iCarly's finale in June 2012, Cosgrove embarked on a new tour dubbed the Summer Tour in July and August 2012.

On February 15, 2013, Deadline reported that Cosgrove would star in Girlfriend in a Coma, a television series written by Liz Brixius for NBC and adapted from the novel of the same title by Douglas Coupland.[50] However, following production difficulties, the project was canceled.[51] Cosgrove again voiced Margo in Despicable Me 2, released on June 5.[52] In 2013, she appeared in the animated short films Training Wheels as Margo and Gru's Girls as Savana. In December, she announced on The Today Show that she was recording a new album.[53][54] In 2014, Cosgrove performed voice work in the animated film A Mouse Tale, which was released on February 10, 2015.[55] Cosgrove also starred in the horror film The Intruders with Austin Butler, portraying the role of Rose Halshford.[56] She was cast in the NBC sitcom Crowded, which aired from March 15 to May 22, 2016.[57]

In 2017, Cosgrove reprised her role as Margo once again in Despicable Me 3, which was released on June 14, 2017.[58] In 2019, she appeared in the limited budget Netflix science fiction film 3022.[59] Since 2019, she has been the host of Mission Unstoppable with Miranda Cosgrove, a show which airs on CBS[60] and earned the actress a Daytime Emmy Award nomination in 2020.[61]

2020s

[edit]

In 2021, Cosgrove played Rachel in the independent film North Hollywood.[62] She reprises her role as Carly Shay in an iCarly revival, which premiered on Paramount+ in June 2021, and its second season premiered in April 2022.[63] She additionally serves as an executive producer for the series,[64] on which Cosgrove stated "I knew from a really young age how the executive producer of the show pretty much got to decide almost every aspect, now I get to have a say in everything."[65] The first season received a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[66] She won the award for Favorite Female TV Star at the 2022 Kids' Choice Awards,[67] marking her second win from the association.

Cosgrove told Yahoo! Lifestyle in 2022 that she has no plans to return to music.[68] She had a starring role in the comedy film Drugstore June, which earned a limited theatrical release in February 2024.[69][70] She next starred in the Netflix film Mother of the Bride opposite actress Brooke Shields,[71] which was released in May 2024. Of her experience with the film, Cosgrove said that "all the people in this movie were so nice, from the crew to all the actors. It couldn’t have come at a more perfect moment in my life."[72]

Cosgrove reprises the role of Margo in Despicable Me 4, which was released in July 2024.[73]

Public image

[edit]

Cosgrove is considered a teen idol of the 2000s and early 2010s, both for her Nickelodeon roles and her musical career.[74][75] She found this challenging, telling People magazine that "when you're a little kid and someone's calling you a role model, it's like, "Oh no, I don't want to let anyone down," but you also aren't fully formed and you don't really know how to be a role model. So there are nice things about it but it's also challenging."[76] On how she is perceived in the media, Cosgrove told Bustle that "there’s still a little part of me that’s like, 'It’d be nice if people could see me in a different light.' I like my little bubble and my life, so I’m torn a lot because I’m like, how much should I put out there on social media? How much should I really want people to know about me? Maybe it’s nice that I just have one thing people think of me [for], and at least it’s a nice thing, and then I can live my life on the inside."[72]

Cosgrove was chosen by Common Sense Media as the role model of 2011, being the youngest artist honored at the time.[77][78] In the 2012 edition of the Guinness World Records, Cosgrove was listed as the highest paid child actress.[79][80] Cosgrove was included on Forbes magazine's "30 Under 30" list in 2022.[81][82]

Cosgrove hosted the 2022 Kids' Choice Awards alongside Rob Gronkowski.[83] She appeared on Whitney Cummings' Good for You podcast in 2022, and a clip of her cursing went viral on TikTok.[84][85]

Personal life

[edit]

Cosgrove attended the University of Southern California in 2012.[86][87] She does not drink or smoke.[88][89]

Cosgrove is an active supporter of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.[90] She also visits other children's hospitals and considers Education Through Music one of her favorite charities.[91] She is a national spokesperson for Light the Night Walk, an organization that creates awareness for blood cancer.[92]

In 2014, Cosgrove was granted a restraining order from a Los Angeles court against a stalker who had allegedly followed her, sent her unsolicited gifts and threatened suicide.[93] The man was subsequently arrested for violating that order and sentenced to three years of probation.[94]

In 2016, a man who had been stalking Cosgrove shot at a woman in a car near Cosgrove's home before lighting himself on fire and shooting himself in Cosgrove's yard. The man was found dead at the scene.[95]
