Alexis Bledel is an American actress and model of Mexican and Argentinian descent. Alexis engaged in community theater when she was 8 years old, at the behest of her mother Nanette as a way to get over her [[Shrinking Violet|natural shyness]]. She first started modeling at the tender age of 14 after being scouted in a local mall. At 18 she was asked if she'd like to audition for some acting parts and landed the role of Lorelai Leigh "Rory" Gilmore in the show ''[[Gilmore Girls]]'' in her very first audition, probably had something to do with her big blue sparkling eyes. Her portrayal of the character earned her several honors from teen-centric media. After the end of Gilmore Girls, she has concentrated on her film work and restarted her modeling career.

Line 18:

* [[Adorkable]]: Seems endearingly awkward during live interviews.

* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Her first language is Spanish, she learned English in school. Which [[Viewers are Morons|confuses people]] and leads them to think [[Fake Nationality|strange things]]. In an interview for Latina magazine with her ''[[The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants|Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants]]'' co-star America Ferrera, the latter was shocked to find out, for the first time, that Alexis ''does'' indeed speak fluent Spanish. Apparently, Alexis keeps her first language to herself.
