Miranda Cosgrove

Miranda Cosgrove, a Nickelodeon mainstay of the 2000s, ruled the airwaves with Drake & Josh, and iCarly. She took a crack at popstar fame with her 2010 album Sparks Fly with mixed results. But fortunately, she still has a tremendous gift of acting to fall back on. She maintains a busy acting schedule, including the iCarly reboot that premiered in 2022, and a pair of movies—Despicable Me 4 and Drugstore June—and the Netflix series Mother of the Bride, all set to come out in 2024.
