I'm glad you shared it, I love seeing magazine articles and covers from back in the day when I wasn't watching the show, they're all new to me!

I know! It's hard to wrap your mind around the time that's flown by!

Thanks for sharing! I don't know if I ever saw that.

Quote:

However, no WB’er did a finer job of bearing aloft the network’s droopy banner of adolescent angst than Alexis Bledel (pet peeve: traffic), the precocious, deadpan daughter on Gilmore Girls.

Though Bledel shares Gregory Smith’s love of macaroni and cheese, the moment she entered the interview room there was a sudden drop of cabin pressure, an air of grievous import. She mumbled; she slouched; she dismissed the notion of a celebrity crush with the world-weary statement “The whole illusion for me is completely gone.” In this procession of perky extroverts, here was one introvert who had torn off the veil to view life for what it is: sucky. Given her maid-of-constant-sorrow ennui, it came as little news that Bledel’s favorite old TV show is My So-Called Life. Yet once she stopped looking as if she were about to dissolve into tears of boredom, she made the most insightful comments about acting of any of our participants, sharp throwaways about her Gilmore Girls persona and the artificial sewing-machine rhythms of the fancy lines she delivers, their inhuman precision. And her idol is Gandhi, proof of a social conscience and an awareness of an existence beyond show business.

I love that her favorite band was AFI. I was obsessed with them back then too.

**Lindsay** · 04-18-2018, 09:02 PM

Wow, the way they described Alexis. I doubt it was as bad as they made it seem.
