I'd like to write about something happy for a change. I'd like to be able to look at what happened on a particular day and see that it's not all war and death and political scandals. Unfortunately April 30th seems to be a day particularly rife with political scandal and war related subjects. However, that is as much as I am going to say about them and move onto some lighter news.
On this day in 1986, American actress, singer and dancer Dianna Agron was born. Born in Savannah, Georgia, Ms Agron's most notable role is that of Quinn Fabray on Glee. No offence to the creators of Glee or fans of the show, but I feel that it has kind of lost a lot of the attention it had when it first started. I mean I used to watch it back when first started. Nowadays I couldn't tell you if the main characters were even still the same, the plot or anything about the show. It's not like I deliberately stopped watching; it just stopped being interesting.
I know that Dianna's been in a couple of other movies including I Am Number Four and her small role in Burlesque. No offence to Dianna, but her part in Burlesque really could have gone to anybody else. She's most noted for a singing role; Burlesque is a movie about a small town girl wanting to become famous for singing, dancing, the usual; the main role went to Christian Aguilera; Dianna did not sing in the movie. Why have a singer, someone famous for being on a singing show, not sing in a movie about singing??
And I feel for people like Dianna who are most noted for a single role on a single TV show. It's all that actor has ever known. I wonder then if they start to forget the line between the character and who they are in real life. If I was playing the same character day in day out I would start to question what part of life was the real part. Am I the character or the actor? I have no idea if Dianna feels or acts like that.
I am of course just stating what I think.
Anyway, happy birthday Dianna Agron.
