Lucille Quinn Fabray (born June 11, 1988), known professionally as Quinn Fabray, is an American actress, who has portrayed a number of roles in film and, since 2006, theatre.
Early life
[edit]Fabray was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Her parents are Judy (née Williamson), a homemaker, and Russell Fabray, the current Governor of California. The entire Fabray family practices Catholicism. She has one sister, Francesca. She became estranged from her parents after her sixteenth birthday because of an unplanned teenage pregnancy that temporarily interrupted her career. When she was nineteen, her parents divorced. She has stated in interviews that her family is of German, Irish, and French descent.
Growing up, she attended Notre Dame Academy, an all-girls Catholic school, where she excelled academically and athletically. During her sophomore year of high school, she was made captain of the school's cheerleading squad. Prior to competitive cheerleading, she had been enrolled in gymnastics lessons for six years. She graduated in June 2006 with a 4.0 GPA. Despite being accepted by Yale University, Fabray opted to remain in California and end her two-year hiatus from from acting. Prior to said hiatus, she was credited as Lucy Fabray. It was after she returned to acting that she changed her professional name to Quinn Fabray.
Career

Personal life
