Lauren Graham has been nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series and a Screen Actors Guild Award
for Female Actor in a Drama Series for her sarcastic yet sensitive portrayal of Lorelai Gilmore. The role also earned
Graham a Best Actress nod from Viewers for Quality Television, as well as an award as Best Actress in a Drama from the
Family Friendly forum.
Growing up an avid equestrian in Northern Virginia, she attended Barnard College in New York, where she majored in English.
She then earned an M.F.A. in acting from Southern Methodist University. Shortly after arriving in Los Angeles, Graham
quickly landed a recurring role as Richard's (Malcolm Gets) relentlessly sunny girlfriend, Shelly, in the first season of
Caroline in the City. Recurring roles followed as Graham played an efficiency expert hoping to downsize the staff of
NewsRadio, and a Los Angeles studio executive who pursued Benjamin Bratt when his marriage was on the rocks on Law & Order.
In addition, Graham guest-starred on Seinfeld and 3rd Rock From the Sun. She was a regular on the comedy series Conrad
Bloom and Townies and then starred as a high school administrator dealing with her disruptive niece on M.Y.O.B. prior to
landing the role of Lorelai on Gilmore Girls.
Graham currently lives in Los Angeles, California.
