It's official, although almost pipped to the post by cult icon Sigourney, Dianna Agron is your woman of the month. And it's easy to see why this natural beauty gleefully ended in pole position. Born in Savannah, Georgia in 1986 and raised in San Francisco in a middle-class Jewish family, Dianna is no dumb blonde, graduating from high school with honors.Dianna was introduced to the stage at an early age, dancing from the age of three and performing in a number of local theatre productions throughout her pre-teen years. She moved on to teach dancing as a teenager.It's no surprise then that after graduating from high school Dianna pursued a life in acting, starting in a few commercials and bit parts in CSI: NY and Drake and Josh, moving onto more regular slots on Veronica Mars and Heroes. It's clear though that her most notable role to date is in Glee (one of the GGSF's faves...sorry), playing the cheerleader / leader of the celebacy club...who gets pregnant."Dianna is a dark horse though, in 2009 she wrote, directed, produced and starred in her own short film entitled A Fuchsia Elephant". Charlotte Hill (played by Dianna) makes a decision to change on her 18th birthday, she doesn't want to end up like her alcoholic mother. Her sober friend advises her to do something fun to celebrate, so they re-enact the 8th birthday that she never had with pirates, gypsies, and a fuchsia elephant. In 2010, Agron started making a name for herself in the movie world and starred alongside Christina Aguilera, Stanley Tucci and Cher in "Burlesque. " And of course, the reason why she was in our WOM February poll in the first place, her movement into science-fiction starring in "I Am Number Four". For those of you who don't know the plot, John (Alex Pettyfer) is seemingly an ordinary high school dude, however masking his true alien self, one that an enemy is seeking to destroy. She clearly got on very well with her gorgeous co-star Alex Pettyfer as they started dating, after being set up by their director (D.J Caruso, "Disturbia"). FIVE THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT DIANNA: * Dianna is a vegetarian and a bit of an animal rights activist in her spare time, being a member of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). * Dianna's regular nickname is Di - simple but cute none-the-less. But her not so regular nick-name from her mother is lamb...read next bullet to find out why! * Agron has a tattoo on her left ribcage saying 'Mary had a little lamb', as her mothers name is Mary (hence her not-so regular nickname). * Dianna's fave novels are Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S Lewis (we approve muchly of the choices!) * Glee isn't just a job to Dianna, she is good friends with Lea Michele (Rachel), Mark Salling (Puck) and Chris Colfer (Kurt) in real life and was even roommates with Lea Michele for a time (wow, we would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when they were busting out the show tunes after a boozy night out!). THE REAL DIANNA (IN QUOTES): "I definitely wasn't cool in high school. I really wasn't. I did belong to many of the clubs and was in leadership on yearbook and did the musical theater route, so I had friends in all areas, but I certainly did not know what to wear, did not know how to do my hair, all those things" "Having a dance background, I became used to rejection at an early age. Dance is very competitive, especially for a sensitive person like me. But I realised it's better not to take it so seriously. If you beat yourself up, it's hard to keep going" On Glee: I think that it shows that regardless of who you are and what group you belong to, that there are so many emotions behind each person in high school. Sometimes with teens, writers or directors, anybody, short-changes them and makes them be simple, simple individuals, you're either the jock or the popular kid or the nerd. They don't show those shades. Everybody has those shades to them. This show, it really expands upon vulnerability and excitement and anger all the experiences that you probably actually go through in high school"
