Lauren Graham wasn’t a regular on TV until she landed her breakout role in the classic WB hit series Gilmore Girls (2000-2007) as Lorelai Gilmore. Lorelai, single mother and hotel manager struggling to raise her intelligent teenage daughter in a small town, was a hit with fans of the show. Graham has also appeared in other notable shows like Parenthood (2010-2015), Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist (2020-2021), and The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers (2021-2022).
The Hawaii-born actress has a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature and a Master of Fine Arts degree in Acting performance which she did to pursue an acting career. As a struggling actress, she got her first role in the series, Townies, which only aired 15 episodes in 1996 before it was cancelled. But after her success in acting, she decided it was time to try something new. One thing even Lauren Graham’s die-hard fans don’t know about the star is she is an acclaimed author.
