So, what happened to Miranda Cosgrove?
Her Career Started Fast And Then Fizzled Out
Miranda found fame when at the early age of 10 when she was once solid in copious mainstream ads for companies reminiscent of McDonald's. But she additionally made it big in movie early on.
While she voiced Lana Lang in an episode of Smallville, her first function was as Summer Hathaway in Jack Black's liked film, School of Rock. While Miranda was once part of an ensemble of children, she was once simply the stand-out. At least, Nickelodeon certain thought so.

This gave her a humungous global audience and diehard fans. During this time, Miranda broke a Guinness World Record via being the highest-paid kid star ever... That's right... EVER.
But while you reach the highest, it is beautiful laborious to move to any extent further.
Miranda Cosgrove starred as Carly Shay on iCarly until 2012, however sooner than the sequence ended, she earned the voice function of Margo in the animated movie series Despicable Me which kept her employed until 2017.
Like many young stars on Nickelodeon, Miranda also launched a tune career. Her debut extended play was once "About You Now" and her debut studio album used to be "Sparks Fly". Miranda's track was once well-enough won. She even got Avril Lavigne to pen "Dancing Crazy" for her and the tune debuted at number 40 on the United States Billboard in addition to just made it into the Billboard Hot 100. However, it quickly fell off the charts.
The reality is, after 2012, both Miranda's song and television profession began to burn out...

During her time at university, her love of movie appeared to dwindle somewhat. She even changed her main from movie to psychology.
"I actually changed my major a few times, so it's kind of funny," she told Entertainment Weekly.
Perhaps this is because maximum of her post-Nickelodeon projects didn't find their approach.
In 2013, Miranda signed onto a pilot with Christina Ricci referred to as Girlfriend in a Coma... But Christina backed out and the show did not transfer ahead. And then there used to be 2017's Spaced Out, created through Bill Lawrence (the father of singer Charlotte Lawrence).

Then in 2015, Miranda used to be cast in NBC's Crowded which used to be in reality picked up... However, it was once canceled after only one season due to deficient viewership and terrible reviews. The Hollywood Reporter even called the display "pointless, stupid and unfunny." OUCH!
Luckily, Miranda had a ton of money in the financial institution to play with thanks to Despicable Me and her Nickelodeon days.
However, Miranda has been website hosting a CBS collection called Mission Unstoppable with Miranda Cosgrove which was once nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards in 2020.

Miranda used to be a great supply of entertainment for so many who watched iCarly, School of Rock, and Drake & Josh. We're sure she will also be once more!
