Her
Gilmore Girls audition: "It was very unexpected.
I was nervous and didn't know what I was doing.
It just happened to work out." |

Alexis
Bledel is a very special woman. Her first acting job ever
was for the television series, Gilmore Girls. She was
a model before this and was working for a catalog company
that would send her all over the world to do fashion modelling.
She got used to all of the attention and decided that
she wanted get into acting instead of modelling because
a models' career is so limited in length. In her free
time she writes poetry and takes pictures and goes out
and stuff. English is her second language because both
of her parents are Latin American in decent although she
doesn't look it. Her father is originally from Argentina
where there are more more people from Northern European
decent.

She
was terribly shy before she took to acting and her parents
would encourage her to get over her shyness by trying
out for theatre productions. But it wasn't until she began
modeling that she finally got over her zenophobia. She
learned english by studying very hard in school and by
watching Saved By The Bell. Before she was cast full time
onto Gilmore girls she spent one year at New York University
for Film. She had no idea that she would soon be in front
of the camera and no longer behind it.
