Jane Lynch’s ‘Dragon Lady’ Muse

Jane Lynch’s character on Glee . Sue Sylvester, may seem like gorgon dreamed from the actress’s imagination, but Lynch says she based her performance on a professor she had at Illinois State University. “We called her ‘The Dragon Lady,’ and she was an acting teacher. When she walked down the hall, kids would part like the red sea. She wore layers, and she flowed, and she was big, had a loud voice. It was rumored she was a lesbian — in the cornfields of Illinois, God bless her.” She also spilled that Glee ‘s season finale would feature Jonathan Groff performing “Bohemian Rhapsody” and celebrity reappearances.
