Dianna Elise Agron, born April 30, 1986, in Savannah, GA, is an American actress, recording artist, dancer, and director best known for starring as conniving cheerleader Quinn Fabray on the hit television series "Glee." Agron began dancing at a very young age, and also participated in local theater productions. Upon moving to Los Angeles, Agron nabbed recurring roles on the television shows “Heroes” and "Veronica Mars," while also making guest appearances on numerous other series. "Glee," however, catapulted her to international fame. Her character underwent significant transformation over the years, allowing Agron to showcase her range as an actress.
Agron was demoted to guest star for the fourth season of “Glee,” and only appeared in one episode of the fifth season, as she wanted to pursue other projects (she would return in a more full-time capacity for the sixth and final season). She starred in the films “Burlesque” (2010), “I Am Number Four” (2011), and “The Family” (2013), but it was her performance in the independent film "Shiva Baby" that garnered her significant critical acclaim. It showcased a more mature and dramatic side of Agron, in contrast to her family-friendly public image from ”Glee." She returned to television in 2023 with a lead role on the Netflix series “The Chosen One.”
Outside of acting and singing, Agron has also ventured into producing and directing, and is involved in various philanthropic endeavors. In 2011, she launched the curation platform You, Me & Charlie, using it to showcase young artists and spread positivity online.
