4'''Miranda Katherine Hart Dyke''' (born 14 December 1972 in Torquay, England), known professionally as '''Miranda Hart''', is a British actress and comedian.

6Hart is best known for creating and starring in her eponymous Creator/{{BBC}} sitcom ''Series/Miranda2009'', based on an earlier, semi-autobiographical radio program called ''Miranda Hart's Joke Shop''. The series was a critical and commercial success, even meriting a move from BBC Two to the main BBC One channel between its first and second seasons. ''Miranda'' ended after three seasons and a two-part special that wrapped up its remaining story threads.

8Towards the middle of her run with ''Miranda'', Hart also began appearing on the BBC series ''Series/CallTheMidwife'', which showed off a more dramatic side than she'd been associated with up to that point.

10After the conclusion of ''Miranda'', Hart's role in the 2015 Creator/MelissaMcCarthy vehicle ''Film/{{Spy}}'' brought her into a wider American consciousness; ''Miranda'' also began streaming on Creator/{{Hulu}} during this time, which brought in newer viewers as well. The original series of ''Miranda'' has since been recast for American television as ''Series/CallMeKat'', starring Creator/MayimBialik in the Miranda role. Miranda Hart was a consultant and co-creator of the American adaptation.

12Outside of acting, Hart has written two memoirs (2012's ''Is It Just Me?'' and 2016's ''Peggy and Me'') as well as a children's book, ''The Girl with the Lost Smile'', illustrated by Kate Hindley. In 2017, she made her West End debut in the 2017 production of ''Theatre/{{Annie}}'', portraying Miss Hannigan.
