In her new memoir, Marguerite talked about her friendship with Miranda.
She said that her mom warned her about befriending a person who doesn't believe in God.
The two actors became friends after the show ended.
The costar of " i Carly " didn't believe in God, so her mother discouraged her from befriending her.
In her new memoir titled " I'm Glad My Mom died", McCurdy detailed being raised in a Mormon household, how her mom pushed her into acting at a young age, and how her life changed when she was cast as Sam Puckett.
Dan Schneider created the hit sitcom. Sam and Carly Shay were best friends who launched a successful web show with their friend Freddie.
At the screen test for "i Carly", McCurdy met Cosgrove and immediately thought she was cooler than her.
She was drinking from a glass bottle and texting from her phone.
The two of them were friendly with each other while shooting the pilot. She was moved when she received a gift basket with movie theater candy and a gift card for Arclight Theatre.
I was surprised that another child actor would be nice to me. There's a lot of competition. The gesture is different. I'm touching.
McCurdy was constantly monitored by her domineering mother who was critical of her acting and taught her to become anorexic at a young age.
Miranda used to curse and take the Lord's name at least 50 times a day. I was warned not to get too close to Miranda by my mom. Mom saysNathan is okay for me to get close to. At least we have Jesus in common with the Southern Baptists.
Mom told me not to get close to Miranda. She was coolness to me. It is difficult to be cool if you are nice. Despite our shyness, a friendship would develop.
They became friends over the instant messaging service AIM.
"We spent a lot of time talking about it." If Mom walked past and asked me what I was doing, I would tell her I was talking to Miranda, but most of the time I would lie and say I was doing schoolwork. She didn't ask me if I was okay. She'd leave the room and I'd laugh at her.
Miranda seemed shy and quiet in person, but she had a funny personality through her written words. She said a lot of things that made me laugh. She looks at people, habits, human nature. I liked her a lot. We were becoming friends.
In her memoir, she said that their relationship became stronger after "i Carly" ended.
Three years after the show ended, her friendship with Cosgrove was a source of camaraderie. She said that she was very supportive of her recovery.
They "drifted apart" in the past, but the actress did reach out to her about joining the show.
McCurdy decided not to reprise her role in order to focus on her mental health and happiness.
