Lea Michele GLEE Cory Monteith

Lea Michele and a friend ran errands in Los Angeles on Saturday, and the Glee starlet flashed us a quick smile on her way back to her car.

We really admire her ability to stay strong and positive, especially after such a tough week. Not only did Glee air their goodbye episode to Cory Monteith on Thursday, but the previous day new autopsy results revealed that the troubled actor was shooting heroin and needles were found in his hotel room.

“People are still not over it. It is still really difficult,” Glee creator Ryan Murphy told People about the episode. “I’ve never seen a crew that can’t continue shooting because they left the room sobbing. What you’re seeing is what they felt not just about Finn, but Cory. It was very rough. It was very rough with Lea.”
