Thankfully Ryan Murphy, Glee‘s creator, remembered Lea Michele from an audition and wrote her role the role of Rachel on the show.
But before that time, she was told on countless times that she was ”too ethnic” and ”not pretty enough” to work in television. How is that possible? Look at the photos of her on the set – who wouldn’t fall in love with that smile?
Michele briefly met Murphy in 2007 and spend the evening talking about Barbra Streisand and a mutual love for musical theatre and then lo-and-behold, she met him again in the audition for Glee.
“Ryan was there, and I went, ‘Do you remember me?’ and he was like, ‘Of course I remember you.’ After going through the studio and the network, he then told me that he had written it with me in mind.”
Perfection. She’s such a cute girl!























sirry, she is NOT oretty enough; she’s not ugly, but just not pretty! She’s OK; and I’m not about her talent or anything, but no, sorry, she ain’t pretty enough!
She isnt that pretty sorry she looks very jewish larger broad forehead big wide nose and a serious chin
Are you kidding? She is beautiful and talented!
You are right she’s pretty. Pretty Ugly!
There is no way that Lea Michele can be described as ugly.
But beauty is subjective.
Tell me, who would you all describe as ‘pretty’?
@Paul, I’m guessing the OP would list as pretty a bunch of bleach blond plastic surgery disasters like the Hills girls. Some people’s view of beauty is very limited – to the most generic and cliched standard.
I have to say that’s not a great picture of Lea though, I don’t care for the wide, fake smile.
You all must be kidding right? She’s got the facial proportions of a man. She’s got the chin and jaw of a man, a large Jewish nose(which she is part of), her face is neither oval nor round, it’s square like a man’s. If she were a man she would be a handsome young Robert De Niro however she’s a woman.
Lea Michele is ugly. No more comments.
shes not pretty
selena gomez and dianna agron and emma watson are pretty girls for me.
