ABOUT OUR HONOREE

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome Lauren Graham to the Hollywood Walk of Fame," stated Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer. “Her charm, wit, and talent have made her an icon for audiences worldwide, and her role on Gilmore Girls has left an indelible mark on television history. We are proud to celebrate her incredible contributions to the entertainment industry,"   added Martinez.

Lauren Graham is an award-winning actress, producer, and New York Times bestselling author, best known for her work on the critically acclaimed television shows Parenthood and Gilmore Girls. Her body of work is filled with feminist characters who are spirited, smart, and hilarious.

For her performance as Lorelai Gilmore on Warner Bros. Television’s Gilmore Girls (where she also served as producer in its final season), Graham was nominated for a Golden Globe award, two Screen Actors Guild awards for Outstanding Female Actor in a Drama Series, and two Television Critics Association awards for Individual Achievement in both Drama and Comedy. Additionally, she earned two Teen Choice awards, a Best Actress nod from Viewers for Quality Television, and was honored by Planned Parenthood as a “Champion of Choice” for her work with family issues on and off screen. Graham also starred on NBC in the critically acclaimed series Parenthood as Sarah Braverman.

In 2016, Graham reprised her beloved role as Lorelai Gilmore on Netflix, in the four-part series Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. 2025 will mark the 25th anniversary of the show’s premiere and it still regularly appears in Netflix’s Top Ten.

Graham’s second essay collection, Have I Told You This Already?, was released in November of 2022 and it was her fourth book to appear on the The New York Times Best Seller list. Her debut novel, Someday, Someday, Maybe — the story of a struggling young actor trying to achieve her dreams in New York City — received glowing reviews and was called “a charmer of a first novel” by The Wall Street Journal. In 2016, Graham released Talking as Fast as I Can, a collection of humorous and heartfelt essays about her upbringing and her years spent as an aspiring actor in New York and Los Angeles. The book ran on The New York Times Best Seller list for multiple weeks.

On stage, Graham starred as Adelaide in the 2009 Broadway revival of Guys and Dolls, and as May Daniels in Once in a Lifetime at the Williamstown Theater Festival.
