The 2003 film School of Rock gave actor Miranda Cosgrove her big-screen debut at age 10, but her career really took off a few years later when she was cast as the titular character, Carly, in the hit Nickelodeon series iCarly. By 2012 she was pulling down $180,000 per episode, making her the highest-paid child actor (a Guinness World Record that still stands). But something was missing: “I didn’t have any creative control over what I was doing,” she says. Having attended the Univer- sity of Southern California, she’s now an executive producer on the 2021 Paramount+ iCarly reboot. Viacom- CBS CEO Robert Bakish has called out the show for being a leading driver of subscriptions in the streaming wars. “I knew from a really young age how the executive producer of the show pretty much got to decide almost every aspect,” Cosgrove says. “Now I get to have a say in everything.”
