Miranda Cosgrove was born on the day of May 14, 1993 in Los Angeles, California. Her parents did not know their daughter was going to be a star but she was discovered at a young age singing and dancing around a table in a restaurant. An agent saw her talent and quickly signed her. Miranda did several commercials like ones for Burger King, McDonalds, and more. But she also auditioned for many roles and finally got one that would be just the beginning of a wonderful career. She made it, out of 1,000s of kids her age, the role of the band's manager in the hit 4-star movie, The School of Rock (2003). While filming The School of Rock (2003) in New York, she was informed that her pilot "Drake & Josh" (2004) had been picked up. She got the role of Drake and Josh's little sister on the new hit Nick show. Miranda also did voice-over work for the children's movie, Here Comes Peter Cottontail: The Movie (2005) (V) and starred in Yours, Mine and Ours (2005).
