Best known for her role as "Lorelai Gilmore" on the WB/CW hit "Gilmore Girls" which ran from October 2000 until May 2007. Lauren has also had a starring role in such movies as "Bad Santa", "Evan Almighty" and the upcoming "Flash of Genius". ...Continue »
Lauren is perhaps one of the greatest comedians our generation has seen. I could easily compare her to the likes of Lucille Ball for example. Known for her fast talking and quirky, banter-like talking style, she has perhaps some of the best comic timing I have personally ever witnessed onscreen. As an avid "Gilmore Girls" fan, she made the show what it was. Her character "Lorelai Gilmore" was strong, sophisticated, hilarious, and fragile and emotional when need be. She is truly versatile, and I hope that we see much more of Lauren in the years to come. A true talent like her doesn't happen everyday..

I think Lauren is an amazing actress. She is one of my idols, so is her character Lorelai in Gilmore Girls. I don't think they could've gotten anyone better for that role. I think its ironic that both Lauren and Lorelai have bad relationships with their mothers. I also think its cool that she used to be the dork in school who was in band and had braces and wild hair, and still turned out to be a famous, talented actress. She gives people a lot of hope. She seems very down to earth too. She' is one of my favorite actresses.

Lauren Graham is an unbelieveably talented actress who has captured theinterest of countless views accross the globe. Her unique style, personality and look, makes Ms. Graham a truly inspiring idividual. Her work on the show, Gilmore Girls, is something utterly remarakable. She has created a charcter all of her own, someone who seems to live and laugh among us in the real world. Lorelai Gilmore is a witty, funy, and beautiful character who Lauren has given an unmistakable and spectacular identity. Her work in larger films such as Evan Almighty, and Because I Said So, is also an extraordinary demonstartion of her talent. Lauren Graham is a genuinely multi-facted actress who I hope to see continue her success for years to come.
