Personal Life

Heather Elizabeth Morris born February 1, 1987 is an American actress, dancer, singer and model, best known for her role as the cheerleader Brittany S. Pierce in the musical comedy series Glee.

She was born in Thousand Oaks, California, and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona. She began dancing when she was one. Morris competed at a young age in a variety of styles including jazz, tap, and contemporary. Morris's father died when she was 14 years old. "It's something that is hard for me, because I'm sad about it, but I don't dwell on it," she said during an interview workshop with students in December 2009. "I know he's in a better place, instead of suffering." After graduating from Desert Mountain High School, Morris decided to enroll in a local university but realized she was in the wrong place so she moved to L.A. instead at age 19.
