Maura Flanagan Mr. Langsten Sponts Ent.& Marketing 27 March 2019 Biography Miranda Taylor Cosgrove, more commonly known as Carly on ​iCarly​ or Megan on ​Drake and Josh​, was born on May 14, 1993 in Los Angeles, California. She is now 25 years old, but was first discovered at the age of three. Her parents, Christina Cosgrove and Tom Cosgrove, raised her in Los Angeles and spent much time focusing on her since she was their only child. As she danced and sang around a restaurant table in a city full of opportunity, an agent immediately signed her. SInce her career began so early, making friends was difficult, so Miranda’s mom became her best friend, traveling with her and helping her keep in contact with others.

Miranda’s career started with commercials such as Burger King and McDonald’s, until her first film debut in 2003 as Summer Hathaway in ​School of Rock. ​Just one year later, in 2004, she was the co-star of ​Drake and Josh,​ as well as making appearances in other Nickelodeon shows. Her career continued, she was the the star of Nickelodeon’s show,​ iCarly,​ playing the role of Carly Shay, and then expanded past Nickelodeon to CBS. Miranda was listed in the 2012 Guinness World Record Book as the highest paid child actress. She also won awards such as the Best Example to the Youth and Outstanding Female Rising Star in a Comedy. With her career beginning while she was so young, starting in sixth grade Miranda was home schooled. However, she has just began college at University of Southern California of Cinematic Arts with the hopes to write and act in her own films in the future.

Miranda is looked up to by many children after seeing her be such a relatable character in iCarly. Children felt as if they could directly relate to her feelings and struggles. Now that she is in college, she talks about forgetting she is famous since she gets to fit in with all the other kids, no make-up and trying to get to class on time. While being in school she is also involved with charity work with Alzheimer's Association,

American Heart Association, Get Schooled Foundation, and many others. Miranda keeps herself busy and also endorses Neutrogena and Quaker Oats. It is interesting that Miranda has gone to college because of these facts: she made $180,000 per iCarly episode, her career was going very well, and she had the ability to sing too. However, at home her parents focused on more than just her acting life: considered education more important and is now going to college.

Miranda Cosgrove has gone through her life struggling with body confidence, and many other problems relatable to teens today. She claims to never going to the gym but really enjoy eating healthy. Miranda tries to fit in with the rest of the crowd and not stand out, as she tries to live her life similarly to other girls her age. Living an hour outside of Hollywood has helped her maintain more of a normal lifestyle. She has had many boyfriends, like many other teens, but is not currently married or have kids.

Miranda Cosgrove is a very hard- working actress as she never gets a break.

Since she was three years old she has been signed by an agent and alwaying practicing for her roles. Not only acting, but she is involved with school, producing music, charity work, and endorsing products. I would enjoy to be Miranda’s agent because I know I would be able to count on her to work for each role she is given an opportunity to.

Current Project Currently, Miranda Cosgrove is attending college at the University of Southern California and attending their film college. With the extra knowledge she is gaining about the film industry, she hopes to write, produce, and act in her future projects.

Charity Work Miranda Cosgrove joined with Oceana in the Bahamas to film a PSA about the effects seismic airgun blasts. Seismic airguns are towed behind large ships and harm the marine animals. While filming, she got to swim with dolphins and show off the beautiful creatures in the ocean. During this PSA, Miranda intended to provide the sad effects these blasts are causing on the ocean life. With the awareness of the people, she asks others to join her in helping putting an end to the harm of marine animals.
