Jenna Ushkowitz, who plays Tina Cohen-Chang on the popular Fox show Glee, has inked a book deal for her memoir.
Choosing Glee will be published by St. Martin's Press and is scheduled for release in the spring of 2013, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The book will go into her career, including her time on Broadway and her rise to fame on the hit show.
My goal is for you to walk away from this book looking at the world differently than when you started, she told THR. It's about how to have, do and be anything you want.
At 26, Ushkowitz may seem quite young to be writing a book about her life experiences, but she wouldn't be the first young person in Hollywood to do so.
Here are other Hollywood stars who shared their life stories before they turned the big 3-0. (Most of them are still quite young!)
