Star of Fox megahit Glee, Lea Michele, had a bit of bad luck on her way to audition for her hard won role.  Well, things don’t seem so bad for her at the moment!

Us Magazine featured a clip from the Glee Season 1 DVD where the 23-year-old actress talks about her super crappy day.

“I got into a massive car crash outside of the Fox lot — completely totaling my car,” she says. “When I get into the room for my audition, I literally was still pulling pieces of glass out of my hair. They’re like, ‘Are you okay?’ I’m like, ‘I’m fine!’”

I doubt she was really that nervous, though, considering the part was written for her by creator Ryan Murphy after seeing her in Spring Awakening on Broadway.
