"Gilmore Girls" Star Lauren Graham Honored with Hollywood Walk of Fame Star

On October 4th, 2025, beloved "Gilmore Girls" star Lauren Graham was honored with a star on the prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame. The ceremony was attended by the show's creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino, as well as several of Graham's former co-stars, including Kelly Bishop, Matt Czuchry, Scott Patterson, and Yanic Truesdale.

In her speech, Graham reflected on the polarizing reaction to the 2016 "Gilmore Girls" revival, which continued the story of the Gilmore family following the death of patriarch Richard, played by the late Edward Herrmann. Graham said she "was having the time of her life" working on the revival and felt the episodes were "really beautiful." However, she admitted she did not "exactly understand why" the finale was so divisive among fans.

The revival's ending revealed that Graham's onscreen daughter, Rory, played by Alexis Bledel, was pregnant with her first child. The identity of the father was left ambiguous, though it is widely believed to be Rory's college love interest, Logan Huntzberger, portrayed by Czuchry.

In her remarks, Sherman-Palladino praised Graham, saying the actress "changed my entire life" and that she "owe[s] you everything." The creator also used the ceremony to take a lighthearted jab at the absence of Rory's other ex-boyfriends, Jess Mariano (Milo Ventimiglia) and Dean Forester (Jared Padalecki), at the event.

As Graham took the podium, she expressed gratitude to her agents, castmates, and fans, joking about Czuchry's attendance as the "only one of Rory's boyfriends" present. The emotional ceremony served as a touching reunion for the beloved "Gilmore Girls" cast and crew.
