Celebrity Biography: Lea Michele
11 November 2009 9:34 AM, PST | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »
Lea Michele was born Lea Michele Sarfati on August 29, 1986, in Bronx, New York, and was raised in Tenafly, New Jersey. A true Broadway baby, it's only appropriate that she's found major stardom as Rachel Berry on Glee (TV), which relies on Michele's killer pipes as she performs Broadway show tunes, current pop hits, and classic oldies. Michele, an only child whose mother left behind a nursing job to support her daughter's burgeoning career, started acting professionally at the ripe old age of 8. That's when she made her Broadway debut, playing Young Cosette in Les Miserables. She went on to appear in such other plays as Ragtime, Fiddler on the Roof, The Diary of Anne Frank, and, perhaps most notably, the groundbreaking original production of Spring Awakening. She was 14 when she participated in workshop versions of the Duncan Sheik musical and stayed with the show through its triumphant off-Broadway and Broadway runs. »

Anne Hathaway could contend at Oscars and Tonys for playing Judy Garland
23 March 2009 6:15 PM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
If you thought Anne Hathaway was brave for singing and dancing with Hugh Jackman on the recent Oscarcast, that was a walk in the park compared with her next performance — playing Judy Garland on both stage and screen. The Oscar-nominated actress ("Rachel Getting Married") is to star in upcoming film and legit adaptations of Gerald Clarke's 2000 biography "Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland."
With the Weinstein Co. producing both these properties, Anne Hathaway is in good hands. While there is no word as to any of the other creatives involved in these projects, the source material is rich with possibilities, including as it does material in Judy Garland's own words. Gerald Clarke's biography of the late, great writer Truman Capote was the basis for "Capote," which was nominated for five awards at the 2005 Oscars including best picture and won lead actor for Philip Seymour Hoffman. »
