Netflix's recent release, "Mother of the Bride," has sparked significant excitement among internet users, who were pleasantly surprised to spot a familiar face from their childhood: Miranda Cosgrove. The actress, known for her roles in popular sitcoms on Nickelodeon and Disney during her teenage years, has enjoyed a prosperous career. Beyond her acting prowess, Cosgrove has ventured into the world of music, achieving remarkable success.

From Burger King Commercials to iCarly Show

Cosgrove  was spotted at a young age, according to IMDb, with no auditions. One day, she was singing and dancing around her table in a restaurant, which drew attention. Many people ignore children in situations like this, but an agency present recognised her and signed her. This was the beginning of her career as a child, and she went on to work in advertisements for major brands such as Burger King and McDonald's.

It was later that, while auditioning for several other roles and commercials, she was cast as the band's manager in the film 'School of Rock', which marked her film debut. While she auditioned and filmed the pilot for Drake & Josh, she was subsequently notified that it had been picked up and the programme would continue. She appeared as Drake and Josh's younger sister while making small appearances in some other Nickelodeon and Disney sitcoms. But it was her prime show, iCarly, that brought her into the limelight as the main character, Carly.
