Early life and family
Miranda was born on 14 May 1993 in Los Angeles, California USA, the only child to her parents, mother Christina, and father Tom Cosgrove who owns a dry-cleaning business. Miranda was discovered at the very young age of three when she was singing and dancing around in a restaurant called “Taste of LA”. She was home schooled which was a convenient option, considering her budding career as an actor. Throughout her childhood she appeared in various TV commercials, and shows while also working on her potential career as a singer. After her popular show came to an end, she decided to enrol herself into college. In 2011, she was accepted aby the University of Southern California and New York University, finally attending the former by the fall 2012, initially majoring in film and acting, but later switched her major to psychology.
Career
As mentioned, Miranda started her career at the age of three, and was cast in the commercials for such as “Burger King”, “McDonald’s” and “Mello Yello”. She states that when she and her mother were approached with the offer, they had no thoughts for such a career, and that it was pure chance. After trying out modelling for some time, she decided to pursue this option, no doubt with her mother’s approval, and so at the age of seven began auditioning for various television shows.
Miranda’s first ‘appearance’ was as the voice of young Lana Lang in the pilot of the show “Smallville” She bagged a role in her first film in 2003, cast as the band manager Summer Hathaway in the movie “School of Rock” directed by Richard Linklater, which became a box office hit, grossing over $131 million worldwide, with her performance praised a lot by the critics.

Since then, Miranda has been appearing as a guest in various movies and TV shows, such as “What’s New, Scooby- Doo?”, “Grounded for Life”, “Here Comes Peter Cottontail: The Movie”, and one of the popular shows on the Disney channel, “Lilo & Stitch: The Series”.
Miranda made another major breakthrough in 2007, when she starred as Carly Shay in the Nickelodeon show “iCarly”. This popular series helped to enhance her career, recognised as one of the influential youth icons in industry, and also made her the top earning actress in 2012. Along with her acting career, Miranda got a boost in her singing career too from the show, for which she recorded her debut track “Leave it all to me”. Following this, Miranda released a very successful studio album, six new singles, two EPs and various soundtracks.
In 2011, the singer-actress went on a tour to promote her album, which she extended and renamed “Dancing Crazy Summer Tour” to promote her second EP – “High Maintenance”, going on to complete the final leg called “Summer Tour”. In 2015, Miranda was cast in the NBC comedy “Crowded”, but which was called off after one season.
