Introducing Lauren Graham

Lauren Graham is an accomplished American actress, writer, and producer, born on March 16, 1967, in Honolulu, Hawaii. She is widely recognized for her iconic roles as Lorelai Gilmore in the critically acclaimed television series Gilmore Girls—for which she earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Television Series Drama—and as Sarah Braverman in the NBC drama Parenthood. Beyond her acting career, Graham has established herself as a successful author, with three New York Times bestselling books to her name.

Her writing career began with her debut novel, Someday, Someday, Maybe (2013), a witty and relatable story loosely inspired by her early experiences as a struggling actress in New York City during the 1990s. She followed this with Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls (and Everything in Between) (2016), a memoir comprising personal essays that offer behind-the-scenes insights into her time on Gilmore Girls, reflections on her life as a working actress, and her signature fast-talking, humorous style reminiscent of her beloved character, Lorelai.

Her third book, In Conclusion, Don’t Worry About It (2018), is an expansion of a 2017 commencement speech she delivered at her hometown high school in Langley, Virginia, blending humor with heartfelt advice about self-acceptance, pursuing dreams, and embracing life’s uncertainties. Additionally, her fourth book, Have I Told You This Already?: Stories I Don’t Want to Forget to Remember (2022), is another collection of candid and entertaining essays that delve deeper into her personal life, including her family, relationships, and experiences in Hollywood, showcasing a more vulnerable side of the author.
