The American series Glee is a successful project of the television industry. The film received many awards and nominations and became a good start for young actors who appeared in it.

Childhood and youth

According to American sites, Agron's ancestors were Jewish immigrants from Russia.

Films

Dianna’s first acting experience was little-known episodes of television drama series Heroes, CSI: NY, Shark. She got the leading role in the drama TKO. When she played in Veronica Mars, Agron met Kristen Bell, who was the idol of the beginning actress at that time.

Personal life
