Early life

Cosgrove was born on May 14, 1993 [1] in Los Angeles to Tom Cosgrove, who owns a dry-cleaning business, [5] and Chris (née Casey), a homemaker. [5] She has said that she is of Irish, English, and French descent. [6] She is an only child and was homeschooled from sixth grade onwards. [7] [8] She struggled with body image during childhood. [9] [10] Before becoming an actress, she wanted to be a veterinarian. [11]

At the age of three, she was discovered by a talent agent [5] while singing and dancing at the Los Angeles restaurant Taste of L.A. [12] Cosgrove says that when the agent approached her and her mother, she had "never really thought of being an actress" and "was lucky". [13] She then appeared in numerous television commercials for McDonald's [14] and Mello Yello, [14] and also modeled for various brands. [15] At the age of seven, she began auditioning for theater and television roles. [13]

Career

2000s

Cosgrove's first television appearance was in 2001 when she provided the voice of young Lana Lang in the pilot episode of Smallville . [16] She made her film debut in School of Rock (2003), directed by Richard Linklater. In the movie, she played Summer Hathaway, a young girl with great ambition and discipline who finds herself adjusting to the free-spirited nature of her new music teacher (Jack Black). On working with Black, Cosgrove said that "He just acts [as] the most normal, nice guy. He doesn’t seem like he thinks he’s Jack Black at all." [17] She also cited the scene in which her character tries to sing as particularly difficult: "[I'd] been taking singing lessons for about five years, so getting to sing badly was new. The director kept saying, 'Try to sing even worse, Miranda,' so it was weird." [14] School of Rock was both a box office hit, grossing over $130 million worldwide, [18] and a critical success. [19] David Ansen of Newsweek described her performance as "spot on". [20]

In 2004, Cosgrove landed her first major role in a television series when she was cast in the Nickelodeon series Drake & Josh , alongside Drake Bell and Josh Peck.

[23] Cosgrove's third theatrical release, Keeping Up with the Steins , was released in 2006. It received generally negative reviews from critics and performed poorly at the box office. [24] [25]

Media image

Cosgrove is considered a teen idol of the 2000s and early 2010s, both for her Nickelodeon roles and her musical career. [77] [78] She found this challenging, telling People magazine that "when you're a little kid and someone's calling you a role model, it's like, "Oh no, I don't want to let anyone down," but you also aren't fully formed and you don't really know how to be a role model. So there are nice things about it but it's also challenging." [79] On how she is perceived in the media, Cosgrove told Bustle that "there’s still a little part of me that’s like, 'It’d be nice if people could see me in a different light.' I like my little bubble and my life, so I’m torn a lot because I’m like, how much should I put out there on social media? How much should I really want people to know about me? Maybe it’s nice that I just have one thing people think of me [for], and at least it’s a nice thing, and then I can live my life on the inside." [73]

Cosgrove was chosen by Common Sense Media as the role model of 2011, being the youngest artist honored at the time. [80] [81] In the 2012 edition of the Guinness World Records, Cosgrove was listed as the highest paid child actress. [82] [83] Cosgrove was included on Forbes magazine's "30 Under 30" list in 2022. [84] [85]

Cosgrove hosted the 2022 Kids' Choice Awards alongside Rob Gronkowski. [86] She appeared on Whitney Cummings' Good for You podcast in 2020, and a clip of her cursing went viral on TikTok two years later in 2022. [87] [88]

Personal life

Cosgrove graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in psychology. [89] [90] [91] [92] She does not drink or smoke. [93] [94]

Cosgrove is an active supporter of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. [95] She also visits other children's hospitals and considers Education Through Music one of her favorite charities. [96] She is a national spokesperson for Light the Night Walk, an organization that creates awareness for blood cancer. [97]

In 2014, Cosgrove was granted a restraining order from a Los Angeles court against a stalker who had allegedly followed her, sent her unsolicited gifts and threatened suicide. [98] The man was subsequently arrested for violating that order and sentenced to three years of probation. [99]

In 2016, a man who had been stalking Cosgrove shot at a woman in a car near Cosgrove's home before lighting himself on fire and shooting himself in Cosgrove's yard. The man was found dead at the scene. [100]
