Actress and singer Lea Michele celebrates her 31st today. She made her first appearances on Broadway in the 1990s, performing the young versions of both Cosette and Eponine in Les Miz, and appearing in a small role in the original production of Ragtime. She later returned to Broadway as Shprintze in the 2004 revival of Fiddler on the Roof, and in the central role of Wendla in the original production of the Tony-winning musical Spring Awakening, for which she was nominated for a Drama Desk Award, and shared in a Grammy for the cast album.

In 2009, Michele was cast in her signature role, as Rachel Berry on Glee. She remained with the show for all six seasons, and received nominations for an Emmy and two Golden Globes, and also shared in three Grammy nominations for recordings made for the series.



Michele has released two solo studio albums, Louder and Places, the latter of which came out earlier this year. After Glee ended its run, she became one of the stars of Scream Queens, and this fall she will star on ABC’s upcoming series The Mayor.
