Jennette McCurdy worked as a child actress on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Malcolm in the Middle, and Medium before becoming a well-known figure on Nickelodeon shows like iCarly. She moved from acting to writing and directing after her mother died because she was ashamed of her prior efforts and didn’t want to be an actor in the first place.

Jeannette has published for The Wall Street Journal and performed in her tragicomedy, which is based on her life as a child actor and the tumultuous relationship with her mother. She also maintains a presence on YouTube with vlogs and podcasts that discuss her experiences in the business.
