When you look at some of the women who have enjoyed a long and successful career in the Hollywood, the majority of them all have one thing in common which stands out to those young girls who dream of making it big in the acting industry. That is, of course, the fact that they are very beautiful, which leads to many young girls to believe that you have to be stunningly beautiful to become a successful star in Hollywood.

That is exactly what a young Lea Michele used to think when she was a young girl, with the actress admitting that she never would have believed that she could be making a living from working in Hollywood. Lea says that living the life she has now was just a distant dream and she still cannot believe that she gets to wake up every morning and continue to live this dream.
During a recent chat with E! News, Michele said, "If you would've told me when I was 15 that I'd be here in Los Angeles living my dream, I would've been like, 'You're crazy. I'm not pretty enough or I'm not cool enough,' whatever. And it happened! So, you have to believe. Hollywood was just this glamorous life and I never really thought I would leave New York and now, here I am and I wake up every day and I get to do what I love. I'm beyond amazed every day."

As well as enjoying plenty of success as an actress in Hollywood, Lea Michele is also a very talented singer, enjoying pretty much just as much success on the music scene. Lea is currently preparing for the release of her second studio album, which she has titled Places, and we have no doubt that it will be just as big a success as everything else in her life.
