The youngest of four children, Jennette Michelle Faye McCurdy was born in June 26, 1992, in Long Beach, California. Growing up to be quite a beauty, she comes from a diverse racial background, comprising of Dutch, French, Irish and Swedish ethnicities. She began her interest, even a sort of obsession, towards performing on the small and big screen, after witnessing the magnificence of Harrison Ford in the 1977 George Lucas hit movie, Star Wars : A New Hope.
Movies and TV Shows
Jennette McCurdy started working on her acting resume at a very young age of 8. She succeeded in the highly competitive world of acting, and, since then, has appeared in numerous tv shows and movies – including but not limited to, Penguins of Madagascar, The Inside. Malcolm in the middle, Law and order, Strong Medicine, iCarly etc. In an obvious nod to her immense acting talent, she was nominated, at the age of 13, for a Young Artist Award. With this great and ever-improving resume, she is best known for her roles in the beloved sitcom, iCarly, a Nickelodeon sitcom that ran for more than 5 years, and was popular enough to warrant a spin off. Recently, she starred in the popular new tv show ‘Between’, aired by the mega successful entertainment network, Netflix.
Songs
Jennette McCurdy’s first single song, called ‘So Close’, debuted on March 10, 2009. She, then demonstrated that fame hasn’t gotten into her head, by releasing her second single song ‘Homeless Heart’ in honour of her young friend, Cody Waters, who passed away from brain cancer at the tender age of 9. She also donated 20 per cent of the song’s earning to the ‘Cody Waters Foundation.’ She later worked with Capitol Records Nashville, for her debut country album. This happened in mid 2009. She proceeded to work with Capitol Records Nashville for several years, and, with their help, distributed many songs, until their partnership was terminated in 2012. Jennette McCurdy herself validated this in an interview. She also confessed that she did not know what to do with her music career, and stated that she was browsing through different projects.
Net-Worth
With the combination of her long-running acting careers and music careers, she established a pretty sweet net worth of 3 million dollars. This achievement is all the more increased, considering that she is only 23 years old.
This popular American actor joined twitter in later half of 2008. Since then, she gained huge traction in the world of twitter, eventually amassing a following of 6.32 million users. She often writes cheeky tweets, and sometimes promotes new movies. Although she has had 16 years of fame, (starting with her career in 2000) she did fall victim to the powers of fame like so many, young and old, actors. Other than sharing her views on new movies, and, sometimes, even replies to tweets from her fans, which surely must have made their day. Conclusion.
In a world where many child actors fell victim to fame, and what comes with it, Jennette McCurdy’s tale offers as a refreshing change from the fall that comes after the fame. Now 23 years old, she still has a lot to achieve in this world
