Miranda Cosgrove was born on May 14, 1993 in Los Angeles, California.
When she was about nine years old, she went out to dinner with her parents to a restaurant. She was bored, so she began to sing and dance near the table. As fate has it, a talent agent was also eating at the same restaurant and liked what he saw - and was soon signed by his agency.
She began doing some commercials at first. Then in 2003, she appeared in her debut movie, School of Rock which opened up her career for further development. The cast of School of Rock was nominated for the 2004 MTV Award for Best On-Screen Team and the 2004 Young Artist Award for Best Young Ensemble in a Feature Film.
The following year, she made her small screen debut on the hit television series, Drake and Josh with Drake Bell and Josh Peck.
Miranda has become known as a talented voice over specialist as well and her voice can be heard on television shows such as Lilo and Stich: The Series and What's New Scooby Do? or movies such as Peter Cottontail: The Movie.
In 2005, she appeared in the family oriented hit, Yours, Mine and Ours and will appear in the movie Lucky 13 due out in 2006.
Miranda will be starring in her own TV show in 2007!!!
