Where are our Gilmore Girls? [ Alexis Bledel Edition ]

As promised earlier, I’m going to discuss what Alexis Bledel has been doing since Gilmore Girls has been off the air. You can read about what Lauren Graham is doing here.

Alexis played Lauren’s daughter, Rory Gilmore. The super smart Yale graduate, Rory, was off as a journalist to cover Barack O’bama’s campaign for an online magazine when we saw her last. What about Alexis?

Well, she filmed two movies: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 and The Post Grad Survival Guide. Earlier, she was in the movie I’m Reed Fish which I want to mention because not enough people know about it, and it is really great. Another earlier project she did that I want to mention is the short film DysEnchanted, where she played Goldilocks in therapy. (I’ll put the YouTube video of it below.)

There is really not that much other information about her, I can’t even find a picture of her at any recent premieres – but she’s been busy shooting those movies. And I suspect, maybe taking some time away from the limelight.

In 2002 she told agirlsworld.com:

“A one hour t.v. show is all-consuming. It pretty much takes over your life and that’s all you can really do while you’re working on it. We have a hiatus every year. You can get in touch with all the people you’ve lost touch with and spend a lot of time with your family kind of apologizing for not being available or you do a film”

Since it’s 2008 now, I think it’s possible she’s been resting when she can.

It is not listed on IMDB.com but I believe Alexis was also in a movie called Life is Short. She did one year at NYU and she’s said before that she would like to go back. So that may be on the agenda.

Until later,

Jessica
