Early Life, Parents, and Education

Miranda, of Irish, English, and French ancestry, is an only child, born to Tom and his wife Chris. She was discovered at the tender age of three by a talent agent, when she sang and danced during the family visit to the Los Angeles restaurant Taste of L.A. This early experience led to her appearing in commercials for Mello Yello, McDonald’s and other popular brands. As her career continued, Miranda decided not to go to school, but instead was home-schooled, and once through with high school education, she received offers from New York University and the University of Southern California. She ultimately chose USC, and majored in theater and writing.

One of Miranda’s first appearances on screen was as five-year-old Lana Lang in the highly-acclaimed TV series “Smallville” in 2001. Two years later, she portrayed Summer Hathaway in the comedy film “School of Rock”, starring Jack Black, Mike White and Joan Cusack, before in 2004 being chosen for her first recurring role, as Megan Parker in the comedy TV series “Drake & Josh”, which turned out to be her first breakthrough role.
