She began working as a model in her teens, and attended a private school, where she was often absent, modelling at photo shoots instead. She once got in trouble for forging her mother's signature, in a note to get out of gym class. After high school, she enrolled at New York University, expecting to major in film studies, but her education was interrupted when she flew to Los Angeles to audition for the role of <a href="/people/554/000044422/">Lauren Graham</a>'s daughter on <i>Gilmore Girls</i>.<p> Despite her success with that show, Bledel has stuck to small roles in films: in the Indian spin on <a href="/people/563/000024491/">Jane Austen</a>, <i>Bride & Prejudice</i>, Bledel played the young innocent girl seduced, and in <i>Sin City</i> she played one of the armed prostitutes of Old Town. She has also had some more prominent roles in smaller films, including <i>Tuck Everlasting</i> and <i>The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants</i>.<p> <p><b>Father:</b> Martin Bledel (Argentine)<br><b>Mother:</b> Nanette Bledel (Mexican)<br><b>Brother:</b> Eric David Bledel (b. 1986)<br><b>Boyfriend:</b> <a href="/people/734/000108410/">Milo Ventimiglia</a> (actor, dated 2000-06)<br><b>Boyfriend:</b> <a href="/people/150/000111814/">Vincent Kartheiser</a> (actor, engaged to be married)<br><p> High School: Saint Agnes Academy, Houston, TX<br> University: <a href="/edu/490/000068286/">New York University (studies on hiatus)</a><br><p> <font size=-2 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">TELEVISION</font><br> <a href="/tv/689/000049542/">Gilmore Girls</a> Lorelai "Rory" Leigh Gilmore<br><p> <font size=-2 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">FILMOGRAPHY AS ACTOR</font><br> <a href="/films/484/000404269/">Crypto (12-Apr-2019)</a> <br> <a href="/films/481/000405263/">Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life (10-Nov-2016)</a> <br> <a href="/films/736/000406515/">Jenny's Wedding (10-Jul-2015)</a> <br> <a href="/films/597/000381451/">Parts Per Billion (25-Mar-2014)</a> <br> <a href="/films/249/000370136/">Remember Sunday (21-Apr-2013)</a> <br> <a href="/films/603/000364508/">The Brass Teapot (8-Sep-2012)</a> <br> <a href="/films/802/000367698/">Violet & Daisy (15-Sep-2011)</a> <br> <a href="/films/611/000281765/">Girl Walks Into a Bar (7-Mar-2011)</a> <br> <a href="/films/678/000271862/">The Conspirator (11-Sep-2010)</a> · Sarah Weston<br> <a href="/films/597/000226916/">Post Grad (13-Aug-2009)</a> · Ryden Malby<br> <a href="/films/959/000215314/">The Good Guy (26-Apr-2009)</a> <br> <a href="/films/125/000173603/">The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (6-Aug-2008)</a> <br> <a href="/films/398/000132999/">I'm Reed Fish (25-Apr-2006)</a> <br> <a href="/films/693/000096405/">The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (1-Jun-2005)</a> <br> <a href="/films/938/000092662/">Sin City (1-Apr-2005)</a> <br> <a href="/films/294/000091021/">Bride and Prejudice (6-Oct-2004)</a> <br> <a href="/films/266/000043137/">Tuck Everlasting (8-Sep-2002)</a> · Winnie Foster<br><p> <br> <p> <table> <tr> <td align=right valign=middle style="padding-right: 5px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 22px; font-style: italic; color: #ff3333;">New!</span><br> <a href="http://mapper.nndb.com/" class="fotmlink" style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #dd0000;">NNDB MAPPER</a></td> <td valign=middle align=right style="border-left: 1px solid #bbb; padding-left: 5px;">Create a map starting with</td> <td valign=middle align=right><a href="http://mapper.nndb.com/start/?id=48181"><img src="/woman.gif" border=0 style="padding: 2px;"></a></td> <td align=left valign=middle> <a href="http://mapper.nndb.com/start/?id=48181">Alexis Bledel</a></td> </tr> </table> <font face="Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="-2">Requires Flash 7+ and Javascript.</font> <br><br><p> <font size=-1>Do you know something we don't?</font><br> <font size=-1><a href="http://commentary.nndb.com/submit/feedback/?id=48181" rel="nofollow">Submit a correction or make a comment about this profile</a></font><br> <p> <br><br><p><font size=-1>Copyright ©2019 Soylent Communications</font><p> </td></tr></table> </td></tr> </table> </td> <td width=180 align="center" valign="top" style="padding: 0px 0px 8px 25px;"></td></tr> </table> </center> </body> </html>
