Hier sind neue Artikel über Lauren, sehr interessant.
Und in diesem Artikel spricht sie wohl zum ersten Mal über ihr Privatleben.Graham's 'Gilmore Girls' success took a while to build
By LUAINE LEE
January 31, 2005
Few might guess that actress Lauren Graham, who plays the feisty Lorelai in "Gilmore Girls," was very shy as a kid.
"I masked it," she says. "I was always perceived to be tougher than I was. I had a sarcastic sense of humor. I remember at summer camp them thinking I was sassy or 'fresh'. . . . It was really my sense of humor, but people didn't take it the right way - which is funny - because that's exactly the character I play basically."
Being fresh and edgy has earned Graham a place in the annals of television. Tuesday (Feb. 8) On Feb. 8 "Gilmore Girls" will air its 100th episode on the WB.
While the luminous Graham might seem everyone's dream girl, she was quite the opposite in high school.
"I was awkward. . . always self-conscious and didn't feel comfortable. . . I was on the drill team one year, was in student government, but never identified myself as. . . 'pretty.'"
Sitting across from her, "pretty" is the first thing you think of. But Graham surprises you. A bookish girl, she was reared by her father after her mother left to pursue her own career when Lauren was 5.
"Being raised by my dad was a defining feature of my life for sure because it was very unusual for there to be any single parents at the time, and especially a dad," she says. "
She started her college career a conservatory for "artists," but backed out when she realized she needed to learn more academics.
She transferred to Barnard College in New York City, majoring in English, struggling through what she calls her "Ramen" days.
"I went to this really expensive school and looking back I think I should've gone to some Virginia state school. We just didn't have the money for me to be there," says Graham, 37.
Tying to be an actress in New York proved overwhelming.
"That was really the most baffling thing," she says. "I had at least two jobs trying to pay rent on this tiny, awful apartment. . . .I just thought this could take forever to get anyone to notice."
She applied for graduate school in Texas on a partial scholarship.
"When we graduated we did a showcase in New York and Chicago and I got an agent from that showcase," she says.
She didn't work as an actress for two years. "I taught test preps for the Princeton Review. That was a really a good job because it paid really well and was fairly flexible. I waitressed and . . .did a combination of things."
She started emoting in commercials and the one she did for Cascade dishwashing soap kept her afloat for two years.
"There were times I had to ask my dad for money and they got really bad, but commercials really helped me come to L.A.," she says.
In Los Angeles she slept on her aunt's couch and scoured the papers for auditions. Surprisingly she was cast almost immediately in a TV pilot that never aired.
It took six years to rev up her career.
When the chance at "Gilmore Girls" came up, Graham was already committed to "MYOB," another sitcom, though it hadn't aired and no one knew how successful it would be.
Luckily for her, it became a casualty of the ratings and she landed on "Gilmore Girls."
Emerging from a long-term relationship, Graham says she'd like to marry and have a family someday.
Her hours are along and it's difficult to wedge in time for a relationship.
"You don't have a choice," she says. "This is what I wanted to do; it would be great if I had it all, but maybe later."

DATELINE: UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.
Actress Lauren Graham learned early on that you can't have everything you want.
The star of the WB's "Gilmore Girls" was a senior in high school who'd sparkled as the star of most of the school plays. But when they were casting "Once Upon a Mattress," she didn't get the lead. "I kind of took it a little bit for granted that I would get the next lead," she said.
"I didn't do a bad job. I just had senior-itis. I remember my teacher saying, 'You need to tell me now if I give you a smaller part, will you not do it?' And I did it."
That taught her a valuable lesson, she thinks. "That became the way I disciplined myself. If something didn't happen the way I wanted it to, I really did learn how to stick with it and try harder and to challenge myself in a bigger way," she says.
After six years of struggling, Graham landed "Gilmore Girls," which airs its 100th episode on Tuesday, a status that most television shows never reach. But starring in a popular and consistent show is not everything.
She would like to have an equally enduring relationship, she says. "I was with somebody for a long time, off and on, but we broke up not too long ago," she says.
"I want to have a family. I really love being in a relationship, and my dad is such a great man, and my relationships have been very positive. I really think I grew up with a good experience of what a good man is and have a lot of respect for that. It's been tough, this job, because it's all-involving," she says.
Graham's mother left the family when Lauren was 5. Her father raised her alone until he remarried when she was in high school. A lawyer who became proficient in Vietnamese, her father worked for a year in Vietnam with a government agency connected to the CIA.
"What he would do is fly around to these small towns that had been devastated and help them rebuild. So that's what he did for about a year. ... Understandably he found it really distressing work," she says.
"I think there are hundreds of people that perceive part of that group could've been spy cover, but my dad can't keep secrets," she says, laughing.
Being reared by her father made her different, she confesses. "I think that changed how I viewed myself in the world of my peers. And I knew that in order to learn to be a girl I was going to have to do it myself ... There were people who guided me. But I learned how to put on makeup from books and magazines, nobody helped me do that. So I thought that's one of the things that's different about my life."
Her mother settled in London and eventually had a child, her father had two more. She's still on cordial terms with her mother, though they only met annually when she was growing up.
Being a latchkey kid with a string of baby-sitters made her independent, Graham thinks. After high school she enrolled in a performing-conservatory school. But coming from an academic background, she felt out of place there.
"I thought, 'You know, I should read more. I should study more before I roll around on the floor pretending I'm a lion.' So I transferred to Barnard, and I was an English major and was still thinking about being an actor and took classes outside of school."
Things were difficult there. Graham, 37, endured a series of jobs. She waitressed, worked at Barney's, toiled in a library. "I remember counting pennies in the subway because I lived off-campus and had to get to school that day. I didn't have enough money to get in the subway. I remember standing at the turnstile. And I would eat out of the vending machine and would eat cheese and crackers. ... I just had no money all through college, and it just adds to your frustration and depression, and it was really tough."
Things weren't much better in L.A. She slept on her aunt's couch in Long Beach (20 miles south of Los Angeles) while she looked for work. A commercial for Cascade dishwashing powder had sustained her for nearly two years, but that was running out.
When she graduated from her aunt's couch she moved in with a newly divorced friend whose house contained no furniture except two beds and a chair. "And we just ate Rice Krispy treats. That's when I started working in 'Caroline in the City' and that's when it kind of started."
She's content, she says. "I have a sense of faith, look at all the blessings I have. I don't have everything I want right now, but there are plenty of people out there in a great relationship, but they're not in the job they want. You just don't get everything you want when you want it."

Seriensüchtige
Klar werd ich mir Townies anschauen, kann mir ja Lauren nicht entgehen lassen! Hoffentlich wird es keine Enttäuschung, immerhin haben sie die Serie nach 15 Folgen abgesetzt! Lauren Graham hat eigentlich einen ziemlich faszinierenden Werdegang hinter sich, findet ihr nicht? Nach so vielen Flops, ist sie mit den Gilmore Girls berühmt geworden auf der ganzen Welt! Wisst ihr ob die beiden Folgen um 5:45 und um 8 Uhr dieselben sind?
Danke LG
