"Actress Alexis Bledel, 44, is much more than the face of a generation. She is a clear example of how to take control of your life, your career, and the narrative that is created around you. Sunday, October 5, marked 25 years since a very young Rory Gilmore first appeared on television, walking the streets of Stars Hollow in Gilmore Girls the show that made Bledel famous before she even turned 20."
"Some people go to the United States and don't want to speak to their children in Spanish, but my parents only spoke to me in Spanish. When I went to school, I had to learn English there I didn't speak a word. I really lived in a kind of Latin bubble, the actress explained in 2015 in an interview with the program Back Home, which took place on the streets of Buenos Aires."
Alexis Bledel rose to fame as Rory Gilmore on Gilmore Girls, achieving lasting recognition before age 20 after a tiny film debut in Wes Anderson's Rushmore at 17. Her career spans more than two decades and emphasizes discretion, a focus on work, and control over public narrative. Her name reemerged with the series' 25th anniversary, the unofficial special Drink Coffee, Talk Fast (which did not include her or Lauren Graham), and the Emmy Awards mother-daughter reunion on September 14. Born in Houston to a mother raised in Mexico and a father from Buenos Aires, Spanish was her first language. She never felt fully American or fully Latina, which led her to acting as a way to create and explore identity.
