Biography

Vanessa Brittany Lengies, a talented and multifaceted Canadian artist, was born on July 21, 1985, destined to captivate audiences with her exceptional skills as an actress, dancer, and singer.

She rose to fame with her captivating portrayal of a character on the popular television series American Dreams, and later stole the spotlight as the charming and lively Sugar Motta on the hit show Glee.

Born in the vibrant city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Lengies' diverse cultural heritage is a testament to her parents' rich backgrounds - her father hailing from Germany and her mother from Egypt. As a result, she is fluent in not one, not two, but three languages: French, English, and Arabic, making her a true linguistic chameleon.
