Lauren Graham
Biography Filmography Links Contact Galleries
Date of birth: 16 March 1967
Birth Place: Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
Though she was born in Hawaii, actress Lauren Graham spent her childhood traveling with her single father. After earning her Bachelor's degree in English from Barnard College in New York City, she got her Master's in Acting from Southern Methodist University in Dallas. She moved to California and landed a guest spot on 3rd Rock From the Sun in 1996. After playing recurring roles on Caroline in the City, Law & Order, and NewsRadio, she made her film debut in the horror thriller Nightwatch. Other film roles followed, including the mainstream sentimental drama One True Thing (starring Meryl Streep) the independent mockumentary Dill Scallion (starring Billy Burke). After starring in a few short-lived TV series, Graham's big breakthrough came in 2000 with the lead role on the WB family drama Gilmore Girls. As Lorelai Gilmore, the 32-year-old single mother of a teenager (Alexis Bledel), Graham earned several award nominations during the first two seasons. While the show itself earned critical acclaim, Graham gained much media exposure for her strong and independent yet conventionally attractive portrayal of a single mom. Even though her persona is that of a "sexy mom," she's also PG-rated enough to win the Best Actress prize from the Family Television Awards. More feature film projects followed, including supporting roles in the romantic comedies Lucky 13, Sweet November, and Chasing Destiny. In 2003, she starred in Terry Zwigoff's holiday crime comedy Bad Santa, starring Billy Bob Thornton. Film projects for 2004 include Seeing Other People. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide.
