Jamaal
Finkley sits down with
Miranda Cosgrove to talk
Despicable Me, iCarly and twitter!
The eldest of the three orphans,
Margo (Miranda Cosgrove) is naturally protective of her two sisters. Raised without a family,
she distrusts most people and knows the only ones the girls can count on are one another. A tough cookie and a strong protector, Margo is not afraid to chal- lenge Gru as he tries to parent the girls. He has finally met his match.
MIRANDA COSGROVE (Margo) is one of Holly- wood's hottest young stars.
She can currently be seen on the
Emmy Award-nomi- nated iCarly,
Nickelodeon's highest-rated live-action show. A
January 2010 episode titled "iSaved
Your Life" attracted 12 million viewers, beating out its time slot competition on both broadcast and cable television.
The episode also has the distinction of being the most watched telecast on cable that entire week. On the show, Cosgrove stars in the title role (
Carly Shay) as a teenager who lives with her twenty-something brother/guardian and produces webcasts from a makeshift loft studio with her two best friends. Not only is the show a success in the
U.S., it has broad international appeal as well. iCarly has won the
Kids' Choice Award (
KCA) for
Favorite TV Show, the
Australia KCA for Favorite
Comedy and the
Germany KCA for Favorite TV Show.
Cosgrove received
Kids Choice Award nominations for Favorite
Television Actress in 2009 and
2010 and a
Teen Choice Award nomination for
Choice TV Actress: Comedy in 2009; won the Nickelodeon
U.K. Star of the Year
Award in 2010; received a nomination for Favorite
International TV Star from the 2008 Australia
Kids' Choice Awards; and received a nomination for Favorite
Female TV Star from the 2008 U.K. Kids' Choice Awards. iCarly was nominated for a
Creative Arts Emmy Award in 2009 and a Teen Choice Award in 2009 and won Kids' Choice Awards in 2009 and 2010.
Cosgrove recently signed with
Columbia Records and recorded her first
album, "iCarly," which features four original songs that she sings. Her debut solo album, "
Sparks Fly," hit stores on April 27, 2010. She co-wrote the first single, "
Kissin' U," with influential producer
Dr. Luke.
She received rave reviews for her work in
Richard Linklater's
School of Rock as
Summer Hathaway, the overachieving preppy manager of
Jack Black's rock band. Her other film credits include
Yours, Mine and Ours and Keeping Up With the
Steins. Her theater credits include
Back Again, with the Orison group.
Cosgrove got her big break when she landed the highly sought-after role of
Megan Parker on Nickelodeon's megahit
Drake & Josh. She played the deceptively sweet, mischievous little sister whose scene-stealing role led to her own show, iCarly. She recently appeared in
Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh on Nickelodeon.
Cosgrove's voice-over credits include
Here Comes Peter Cottontail:
The Movie (as
Munch the mouse) and
What's New, Scooby-Doo? (as
Miranda Wright).
She is also one of the faces of Neutrogena, along- side
Gabrielle Union,
Hayden Panettiere,
Susie Castillo,
Vanessa Hudgens,
Jennifer Garner,
Diane Lane and
Emma Roberts.
In her spare time, Cosgrove enjoys horseback riding, fencing, bike riding, tennis, shopping, trav- eling and writing.
Born and raised in
Los Angeles, she currently lives there with her family.
