Lauren Graham, known for her role as Lorelai Gilmore in the series, was bestowed with the 2,823rd star on Hollywood Blvd. The event was hosted by the show’s creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino, and attended by Graham’s on-screen mother, Kelly Bishop (Emily Gilmore), and Scott Patterson, who portrayed Luke Danes, the local diner owner and Lorelai’s love interest. Matt Czuchry, who played one of Rory Gilmore’s ex-boyfriends, was also present, along with several producers and writers from the show.
“Gilmore Girls,” which aired from 2000 to 2007, captured the hearts of viewers with its depiction of single mother Lorelai raising her daughter Rory in the charming town of Stars Hollow. The series showcased a blend of heartfelt moments, witty dialogue, and endearing characters, earning a dedicated fan base that has lasted through the years. A follow-up miniseries titled “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life” was released on Netflix in 2016, further solidifying the show’s legacy.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, in a statement released before the ceremony, praised Lauren Graham for her talent and impact on television history.

As the show celebrates its 25th anniversary, the star on the Walk of Fame serves as a timeless tribute to Graham and the enduring popularity of “Gilmore Girls.”
Although Alexis Bledel, who played Rory Gilmore, was not able to attend the Walk of Fame ceremony, she previously joined Graham at the 77th annual Primetime Emmy Awards in September, showcasing the enduring bond between the former co-stars. Graham, reflecting on her role in the series, expressed the profound connection she felt to the character of Lorelai, describing it as a meeting of kindred spirits that resonated deeply with her.
Beyond her accomplishments on television, Lauren Graham continues to captivate audiences with her talent on the big screen.
