Dianna Agron

Background

Dianna Agron is best recognized for her signature sultry Audrey Hepburn-esque style and her ‘nice girl’ vibe. Her sophisticated charm and fashion sense are often praised by audiences and artists alike. A Taurus born on April 30, 1986, Agron comes from a Russian-Jewish upbringing, and moved from San Antonio, Texas, to Burlingame and California because of her father’s itinerant job. Growing up, Agron and her brother, Jason, lived in various hotels, changed schools, and were exposed to music from the 1960s and 1970s — and classic Hollywood films and musicals. In an interview, Agron mentioned that her mother kept them grounded, given the ‘fishbowl’ environment they grew up in. Her mother, Mary, was a seamstress, and her father, Ron, a former general manager of Hyatt hotels.

Agron’s interest in acting began as a kid and her extracurricular activities since she was two included jazz, ballet, and hip-hop dancing. In 2005, Agron moved to Los Angeles to audition for a dance agency, followed by auditions for film, series, and musical roles. While she did get both major and minor roles, her breakthrough role in “Glee” in 2009 is unmatched. Agron’s contribution and involvement in the series from 2009 to 2014 garnered her several shows and music awards.

After “Glee,” Agron was cast in a film with Robert De Niro, Tommy Lee Jones, and Michelle Phifer —“The Family” in 2014. She then began pursuing more independent projects and film roles, as well as singing and directorial opportunities.
