'Gilmore Girls' Star Lauren Graham Receives Surprise Hollywood Honor

On October 3, 2025, acclaimed actress Lauren Graham will be honored with a star on the prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame. This unexpected achievement comes as a surprise to Graham, who rose to fame in the early 2000s for her breakout role as Lorelai Gilmore on the hit TV series 'Gilmore Girls'.

Graham, who is currently 58 years old, never imagined receiving such a prestigious honor, stating that it was not even on her 'list' of career goals. However, the actress is deeply moved by the recognition, and plans to have her 'Gilmore Girls' co-stars Kelly Bishop and Alexis Bledel, as well as writer Amy Sherman-Palladino, speak at the ceremony.

The 'Gilmore Girls' series, which ran for seven seasons from 2000 to 2007, has remained one of the most iconic television shows of its era. The comedy-drama, which followed the lives of Lorelai and her daughter Rory in the quirky town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut, has continued to captivate new generations of viewers thanks to its availability on streaming platforms.

Graham's portrayal of the fiercely independent and witty Lorelai Gilmore has cemented her status as one of the most beloved television characters of all time. The actress reflects on the show's lasting impact, noting that she is often approached by fans, including a recent encounter with a mother and daughter who bonded over their shared love of the series.

As Graham looks to the future, she is excited to take on new challenges, including an upcoming role as a grandmother in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's "Reminders of Him". However, the actress remains grateful for the opportunities that 'Gilmore Girls' has afforded her, and is honored to be recognized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
