Jennette McCurdy (born June 26, 1992) is an American writer and former actress. Her breakthrough role as Sam Puckett in the Nickelodeon sitcom iCarly (2007–2012) won her four Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. She reprised the character in the iCarly spin-off series Sam & Cat (2013–2014) before leaving Nickelodeon. She also appeared in the television series Malcolm in the Middle (2003–2005), Zoey 101 (2005), Lincoln Heights (2007), True Jackson, VP (2009–2010), and Victorious (2012). She produced, wrote, and starred in her own webseries, What's Next for Sarah? (2014), and led the science-fiction series Between (2015–2016).

McCurdy independently released her debut single, "So Close", in 2009. She released her debut EP, Not That Far Away, in 2010, followed in 2012 by a self-titled EP and a self-titled studio album. The lead single, "Generation Love", reached number 44 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs.

In 2018, McCurdy quit acting to pursue a career in writing and directing. In 2022, she released a memoir, I'm Glad My Mom Died, which quickly topped bestseller lists and received critical acclaim for her description of the pressures she faced as a child star and the abusive behavior of her since-deceased mother. In 2025, McCurdy began adapting the memoir into a television series of the same name. In 2026, she released her second book and debut novel, Half His Age.

Early life and education

McCurdy was born on June 26, 1992, at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center in Long Beach, California. She was raised nearby in Garden Grove, in a middle-class family. They were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, though she ultimately left the religion in early adulthood. Her mother, Debra (née LaBeaf) McCurdy (1957–2013), homeschooled her and her three older brothers. McCurdy describes her earliest memories as being ones "very weighted in tragedy" as a result of her mother's cancer diagnosis. McCurdy's grandparents lived with her family.

McCurdy's mother was a compulsive hoarder, which reportedly began after her cancer diagnosis. McCurdy said that their house was "overwhelmed" with clutter and that she and her brothers slept on Costco trifold gymnastic mats in the living room because their "bedrooms are so filled with stuff that you can't even determine where the beds are, let alone sleep in them".

Mark McCurdy, Debra's husband whom McCurdy grew up believing was her biological father, worked two jobs to support the family. After Debra's death, McCurdy learned that she was not his biological child.
