  • Lauren Graham deserves an EMMY!

    After years of neglecting to give Lauren Graham an Emmy, I think it's about time that they gave one to her. People have been saying this for years, and every year, nothing. She deserve an Emmy.

  • Life After Lorelai

    So I assume by now everyone has heard, and if you haven't now is your chance, Gilmore Girls seventh season will be the last (I won't go into my grief about this as it is in my blog, you can read it there if you). Apparently Lauren and Alexis were offered a nice salary increase to returnMore for a shortened season eight but declined, which I am still really angry about. And I was just thinking Lauren Graham has had a career off Gilmore Girls, we've seen her in some movies and she's done some other television shows apperances but now that she will no longer be tied to a series she will obviously have more time to pursue other projects and possibly get the recognition she deserves. So as sad as I am to see the series go, and a little mad, I can't help but wonder is this Lauren's chance to really become a big name in the business?

  • The Reigning Lorelai

    I think that Lauren Graham has been one of the greatest television actors on any network and so wish she would branch out more into film. As much as I love her portrayal of The Reigning Lorelai Gilmore and will so hate it when the show ends, whenever that may be, I would love to see her on theMore big screen. We know she can do comedy excellent and we've seen her drama skills on Gilmore Girls but other roles will only prove that she is an amazing actress.

    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". hide show

    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..

    Lauren Helen Graham was born March 16, 1967 in Honolulu, Hawaii. She is 5 feet 9 inches tall. She grew up in northern Virginia with her dad Larry. Her mom, Donna left her family when Lauren was 5 to pursue a singing career. hide show

    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 one of the most talented, yet sadly reatively undiscovered actresses acting on Hollywood today. Her unparralled persona makes her an undeniable pleasure to watch. hide show

    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.
