Biografia

Was in a relationship with co-star Cory Monteith from November 2011 until his death on July 13, 2013.

Rented a car to get to her audition for Glee (2009), and ended up in a crash minutes before. She ditched the car on the side of the road and ran to her audition with shards of glass in her hair.

Worked with Glee (2009) co-stars Jenna Ushkowitz and Jonathan Groff in the musical "Spring Awakening". Michele and Groff were the leads, while Ushkowitz joined the cast in 2008 as an understudy. Skylar Astin and Phoebe Strole, who were also members of the original cast, made guest appearances in the fifth season of Glee (2009).

Best friends with actor Jonathan Groff.

Cory Monteith set up her Twitter account and gave her the handle "@msleamichele". He also set "Rachel Berry" as her password, but she later changed it.

One of my favorite things about Spring Awakening is that it is enjoyable and important for both kids and adults to see.

I consider myself lucky to be an only child because if I had other siblings, my mother would not have been able to take me to every audition and be so supportive of my career.

I think it's important in this industry to not just conform to what people want you to do, and instead stand by what you believe in - that's something I'm very passionate about.

I had so many people telling me 'NO' and giving me these limits in my life. It's so funny what can happen once you just decide to not listen to them.

I think people should just be proud of who they are. Negative stuff will always be said, but it is the girl that can always wake up in the morning and put a smile on their face and continue to do what they do that has the best time.
