Bio:
Raised in suburban New Jersey, Lea Michele (born Lea Michele Safarti) always dreamt of being a start of the stage — much like the Glee character she would eventually play. As a child, she appeared in several Broadway productions, including Les Miserables and Ragtime. She got her big break in 2006 when she snagged the leading role in Duncan Sheik’s coming-of-age Broadway musical Spring Awakening, but it wasn’t until she was cast as Rachel Berry on FOX’s Glee in 2009 that she became a household name.

Best Known For:
Playing the role of Rachel Berry on the FOX musical comedy Glee.

Personal Life:
When she’s not fighting for animal rights — she’s most notably active in PETA’s battle against horse-drawn carriage rides — Lea is enjoying her hot romance with Cory Monteith, who plays her Glee boyfriend Finn Hudson. She had previously dated Theo Stockman.
