Celebrate Miranda Cosgrove’s 33rd birthday with a look back at the actress and singer’s transformation over the years.
Miranda Cosgrove has been a familiar face on screens for more than two decades. She first broke out as Summer Hathaway in ‘School of Rock’ alongside Jack Black before joining Nickelodeon’s ‘Drake & Josh.’ Soon after, Miranda became a household name thanks to her starring role as Carly Shay on ‘iCarly,’ which ran from 2007 to 2012 and returned for a revival series on Paramount+ in 2021.
Beyond television, Miranda also built a successful voice acting career as Margo in the ‘Despicable Me’ franchise. She later expanded into music, releasing her debut album, Sparks Fly, in 2010. In recent years, she has continued acting, producing, and hosting projects while remaining closely associated with the generation-defining Nickelodeon era that launched her career.
