This 17-year-old can do it all. She stars in TV shows, has been featured in major movies, she came out with her first album this year, and she recently lent her voice for the upcoming film “Despicable Me.” And did I mention that she’s incredibly funny and poised? What more could we ask for? Obviously a place for Miranda Cosgrove on our Girl Crush hall of fame!
You may remember when she made her film debut in the 2003 Jack Black comedy, “School of Rock,” or when she played the mischievous sister Megan Parker in her breakout role in Nickelodeon’s “Drake and Josh.” But most fans know her today as Carly, the high-schooler who hosts her own web show, from the series that made her famous, “iCarly.”
It’s this role that won her a Young Artist Award in 2009 for Best Performance in a TV Series, Leading Young Actress and the show won Favorite TV Show at the Kid’s Choice Awards this year. But it’s also this show that allowed the teen star to show us that she can do more than just act; she can sing too! She started off by singing the theme song of “iCarly”, eventually making her own EP, and now you can buy her first album Sparks Fly, which was released earlier this year.
But we’re most excited to see her upcoming film, “Despicable Me”, about a man who plans to steal the moon, where Miranda makes her debut as the animated character Margo.
Make sure to check out Miranda’s role in “Despicable Me,” which hits this Friday!
