Naya Rivera

As a baby, Rivera appeared in commercials for Kmart, but her first significant acting job was at the age of four when she starred as "Hillary Winston" in the Eddie Murphy-produced sitcom, "The Royal Family" (1991).

In 2002, she appeared in the music video for B2K's "Why I Love You".

When Naya was 17, she loved "The Simple Life" (2003) (2003-2007) and all she wanted to do was be like Paris Hilton. She convinced her dad to let her get a little dog like Paris, whom she named "Kally".

Her real-life best friends are "Glee" (2009) co-star, Heather Morris, who happens to play her best friend in the show as well, and "Glee" (2009) co-executive producer, John Peter Kousakis (a.k.a. Telly Kousakis).

Unlike their characters on "Glee" (2009), Rivera and co-star, Kevin McHale are very close friends. They gave one another "Bee" as a nickname. Naya also calls him "Little Bee".
