Cosgrove was born in Los Angeles, California to her father, a businessman and a stay-at-home mother. At the age of three she was discovered by a talent agent while singing and dancing at a Los Angeles restaurant. Upon being signed, Miranda quickly landed commercial gigs for such large franchises as Mello Yello and McDonald’s.

Personal Quotes:
“It’s Crazy when I watch myself on TV. I’m always thinking like ‘oh no how could I have done that’ and I go crazy like seeing these little things that I do that probably other people would never even notice and stuff like that.”
“One fan asked me to sign their sock (laughs) that was crazy. They just took off their shoe and handed me their sock and asked if I’d sign it.”
“I get pretty good grades but I’m not the bookworm type. I’m more laid back. I’ll do my homework at 10 o’clock and finish it at 1 in the morning.”
