Bio:
Raised in suburban New Jersey, Lea Michele (born Lea Michele Safarti on August 29, 1987) 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:
After dating Theo Stockman, Lea started a relationship with her Glee co-star Cory Monteith. Their love was tragically cut short when Cory died of a drug overdose on July 13, 2013.

Glee Jesse St. James Rachel's Relationship

‘Glee’: Lea Michele Reveals Why Rachel & Jesse St. James Work

Rachel Berry and Jesse St. James may just be endgame after all. HollywoodLife.com caught up with Lea Michele at PaleyFest in LA, and she revealed just why Rachel and Jesse are so perfect together.
It’s almost the end for Glee, but last week’s episode brought back a familiar face that we have a serious hate-love relationship with — Jesse St. James (Jonathan Groff)! And yes, he kissed Rachel (Lea Michele) after sectionals. So, are they meant to be? And what is it about him that really wins her heart over?

‘Glee’ Recap: Rachel & Jesse St. James Kiss After Sectionals

In ‘Glee’s’ penultimate episode on March 13, Rachel finally decided between returning to Broadway or NYADA. Plus, Jesse St. James made a triumphant return and Sue rigged Sectionals so a particular glee club would win.
If Glee’s trying to go out with a bang, they’re certainly accomplishing that — at least in the literal sense. As the New Directions rehearsed for Sectionals on the March 13 episode, Sue (Jane Lynch) continued her plot for revenge by sending confetti/glitter bombs to the glee club and setting Will’s (Matthew Morrison) minivan on fire. Also this week, Spencer sprained his ankle, Jesse St. James (Jonathan Groff) revealed some shocking news to Rachel (Lea Michele), and she made a surprising decision about her future. But that kiss — that was everything!
