Graham faced tough competition for the role of Lorelai, balancing her commitment to another show when she auditioned. In her memoir, she shared her gamble on ‘Gilmore Girls’, hoping for cancellation of her NBC project, which eventually happened, securing her iconic role.
In the series, Lorelai expresses a whimsical wish for 1,000 yellow daisies upon receiving a marriage proposal. However, producers soon realized that a thousand daisies did not suffice to fill a room, resulting in them needing to use "thousands and thousands" more for visual impact.
Lorelai's character is known for her fast-paced, witty dialogue, demanding remarkable vocal stamina from Graham. It was so challenging that Graham had to quit smoking to deliver Lorelai's rapid-fire lines effectively.
The character of Lorelai, named after her grandmother, is confirmed to have a middle name, Victoria, only mentioned once during her community college graduation, adding an interesting layer to her backstory.
