=== This actress/model provides examples of: ===
* [[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.

** Played straight in the forthcoming movie ''Violet and Daisy'' as she was 28 playing 16.
* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDoImhmisRw In an interview on] ''Letterman'' she stated she is an impatient driver who forgets the rules of the road and elicits road rage in traffic police. A cop actually got in her face screaming because [[Failed a Spot Check|she cut him off]] [[Car Fu|at an intersection]].
* [[Fake Nationality]]: Averted. Miss Bledel was born and raised in [[Houston]], [[Texas]] and is an [[Truth in Television|American national]]. Some people believe that her heritage makes her a foreigner.
* [[Named After Somebody Famous]]: 80's supermodel Kim Alexis is her probable namesake.
Line 28:

* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: She quit modeling and went into acting after a photoshoot in New York in '''February''' included her being splashed with icy water next to an open window.
{{quote|''"Before I got "Gilmore Girls", I was modeling. I went in for a call and was told, "Sweetie, you need to lose two inches off those hips". I was 14. So I just replied, "I have more jobs than I can do. I'm in high school. I can't go to all the trouble of losing the two inches, so I'll pass". [[Take This Job and Shove It|Someone might tell you to lose weight, but you can say no]]."''}}
