    Hi!. I love Gilmore Girls, though i didn't like the end of the season 6 and season 7 isn't great too. I think Alexis Bledel is an exelent actress and considering she is a native Sanish speaker, i don't understand how she speaks english so well. I'm from Chile and my english isn't great, i wanted toMore know if the netive english speakers think she has latin accent. Do you think she has?

  • Diva?

    From what I've been reading about Alexis, to me it sounds like she is a little bit of a diva. It could be just me but its my opinion.

    Alexis Bledel is perhaps best known as "Rory Gilmore" from the WB/CW hit "Gilmore Girls" which ran from 2000 until 2007. She is also well known as "Lena" from "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" and its sequel. hide show

    I overall really enjoy Alexis's work. I think she has a easy going acting style, and very very good facial expressions. I think her biggest flaw is perhaps that she seems to always have the same tone, and is looked at as almost forgettable in the world of Hollywood today. I don't think she takes a lot of risks with the roles she accepts, and seems to play really similar characters. Perhaps she has become stereotyped, or perhaps playing a "Rory-like" character feels safe for her..regardless I think Alexis's next move needs to be playing a character no one would expect her to play. She definitely has the skills, all she needs is to take a leap of faith in herself.

    Alexis Bledel is one of the stars on one of my all-time favourite shows Gilmore Girls and for that I will always love her. hide show

    Alexis is a great actress. Firstly, she played Rory so well. Even though Rory wasn't my favourite character, I will always see Alexis as Rory because she made her character so real to me. Gilmore Girls is the only place I've actually seen Alexis, but even then I know she's a talented actress. I think she has the potential to go very far, but I'm so sad that she didn't want to continue Gilmore Girls because it was such a great show. Alexis one of my favourite actresses, because not only was she one of the better characters on my one of my favourite show, she was one of the better actresses too.

    She is an amazing actress. hide show

    Alexis was absolutely amazing in Gilmore Girls! Not many people could have pulled off that role and it was her first gig! She got better and better as the show went on. She did a fabulous job on Tuck Everlasting. Her acting along with her classic look in that movie, my goodness. And even in role as a prostitute in Sin City she was very classy. Although she may come across a bit diva at times, she is always polite and well spoken. She volunteers for many charities which is great. She doesn't just give money she actually gives up her time to get in there and help. If she really wanted to, with her amazing looks and incredible natural talent, I truly believe that Alexis could be a big star.

    Talented Actress. hide show

    Alexis Bledel become a favorite actress of mine when I started to watch Gilmore Girls. Although I didn't watch Gilmore Girls from the very beginning I did start on season 3, and I felt like I have seen Alexis mature from a teenage into a great actress. She is talented, and not like most peolpe her age from partying, doing drugs, and all that other stuff. She can set an example from young kids to adults. Anything that I have seen her in, she has always made me like her much more. Ive never seen a movie of hers that I have been disappointed in her performance. I can't wait to see more of her on T.V. and Movies. She is one of my role models and I always look up to her.

    Being so used to her role as Rory Gilmore, it was refreshing to see her undergo a character other than that of religiously watched television show.In the Sisterhood of the traveling pant, Alexis played a role somewhat similar to Rory's character. sort of shy, a bit quiet..sensitive. Shy is a word commonly describing Alexis Blendel in the magazines. Although she played characters with similar personalities, i still think she is a wonderful actress with a great character.
