Alexis Bledel’s early life and career
Alexis Bledel was born in Houston, Texas, to Nanette Dozier and Martín Bledel, and she also has a younger brother. Her family moved to Mexico when Bledel was eight years old before they moved back as she attended and graduated from the Catholic St. Agnes Academy in Houston in 1999. Her mother encouraged her to try community theatre to overcome her shyness, and that kicked off her acting career. She was then scouted at a local shopping mall and worked as a fashion model, even earning a role in Rushmore in 1998.
That was while she was studying at New York University's Tisch School for the Arts to study film but Bledel left college after she was cast in Gilmore Girls at the age of 18. It turned out to be her breakout role as she played deuteragonist Rory Gilmore for the next 7 years, until the show ended in 2007 with a total of 153 episodes. Not only that, Netflix revived the series in 2016 with Bledel reprising her role alongside Lauren Graham for a four-episode miniseries.
Alongside that, Bledel also acted in several films over the years, including Tuck Everlasting in 2002, Bride and Prejudice and DysEnchanted in 2004, Sin City and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants in 2005, and I’m Reed Fish, Zoom, and Life is Short in 2006. She then reprised her role in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 in 2008 while she took a short break from acting for two years after Gilmore Girls. However, she returned in 2009, with a role in the television series ER, as well as films like The Ballad of G.I. Joe, Post Grad, and more.
Bledel continued to star in movies before returning to television with Mad Men in 2012, in her first recurring role since Gilmore Girls. She continued that trend, acting in Remember Sunday in 2013, Us and Them in another recurring role in 2014, and Motive in 2015. However, her first major role, post Gilmore Girls, came in The Handmaid’s Tale, where Bledel earned critical acclaim for her performance.
Not only that, she earned her first Primetime Emmy Award, winning it for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series in 2017. She was nominated three more times for her role in the series, with two more nominations for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series and one for Supporting Actress. Furthermore, Bledel was also nominated for four Screen Actors Guild Awards, nine Teen Choice Awards, two Young Artist Awards and more over the course of her career.
