The former Nickelodeon star’s memoir, 'I’m Glad My Mom Died,' details the lack of control she experienced throughout her acting career

The former Nickelodeon star’s memoir, I’m Glad My Mom Died, details the lack of control she experienced throughout her acting career. For example, she writes in her memoir, per the New York Times, that Nickelodeon prevented her from accepting other career opportunities during Sam & Cat, even though her co-star, singer Ariana Grande, was allowed to do so.
In the book, McCurdy explains that her acting career was always about pleasing her mom, Debra, who died of cancer in 2013. According to the Times, the actress writes that she was 6 years old when Debra had her start auditioning for roles. McCurdy began starring on iCarly at age 15. Per excerpts published by Entertainment Weekly, when she found out that she booked her role as Sam Puckett, she recalled thinking, “Everything’s going to be different now. Everything’s going to be better.
Per the Times, McCurdy writes about experiencing several uncomfortable situations while working at Nickelodeon, including being photographed in a bikini during a wardrobe fitting and having an intimidating figure encourage her to drink alcohol. Debra was sometimes present, but never intervened, explaining to her daughter that industry fame came at a cost.
I’m Glad My Mom Died is out on August 9, and McCurdy is reportedly already working on a novel and a collection of coming-of-age essays about her 20s. Still, the Times reports that the debut author hasn’t completely written off the idea of returning to performing one day, especially given how much her situation has changed with regard to the friends and colleagues in her life. “I have people around me now that are so supportive and so loving,” she said. “It makes me tearful with joy.
