Lea [Michele] hasn’t overreached. Lea wasn’t asking to be Cat Woman or Lara Croft. Lea wasn’t trying to get seen for Daisy in The Great Gatsby or Anna Karenina. Lea wanted Eponine in Les Miserables, well within her world. And still she was rejected for the weak voiced girl with blonde ringlets, hand hearts, the right skin tone, and her own guest room at Gwyneth Paltrow’s house.
