Gilmore Girl Lauren Graham is not as sweet as she looks. A source on her show told us the actress is notoriously condescending to background players and she’s developed a bad reputation with them. Lauren isn’t popular with extras because not only does she avoid them like the plague (“Keep those people away from me!”) but she has no regard for their feelings. When she noticed a young female extra wistfully eyeing the craft service table she hissed “Get these maggots away from the food table!” (Hard to believe – but a reliable witness swears it’s true!) The girl was humiliated and when another extra expressed shock at Lauren’s contemptuous comment – both lost their jobs. Lauren may be the ‘boss” but extras whisper that she’ll never get a SAG award because she’s so disliked.

lauren your a bobble head be nice for now on or else you are doomed . fans are your best friend be careful how you act towards people. did’t your father raise you right? i guess your going through the change? the movies you have made are all no good. bad santa was a flop and because i said so was too. must i go on.
rick
luke find someone nicer on the show let someone walk in the diner and sweeps him off his feet. and leaves lauren standing alone and sad. eating stale donuts and weak and cold coffee. sounds familar does it not lauren. good luck you are now middle age soon you will be retired and collecting social secruity.and forgotten.

I don’t care if she’s a UNICEF ambassador in waiting or not – her show is good, her acting belivable and if her ego is monstrous – well, she’s the lead in a Hollywood tv prduction – what do you expect. Like it matters – she’s here to act – period. Get over it.

The rumor has been around forever! Plus, with all the hundreds of people that work at the WB lot, don’t you think there would be a lot more stories about this? Sheesh. I don’t buy it.
Indie Muffin
Oh please, what a wretched rumour. Whoever believes that is just looking for trouble.
Stever_SL
Makes sense. Enough talent to say lines really fast and make sarcasm sound like wit, not enough to realize she’s not succeeding due to her own efforts alone. I have no problem at all believing the allegations of being self-centered and rude to outsiders. It might explain why, despite GG’s long run, she’s not exactly been in demand elsewhere; a minor supporting role in Vin Diesel’s “Pacifier” is all I can remember offhand. I’ll be happy to see GG finally collapse from poor writing and disappear, carrying its sad cast into well-deserved oblivion.

i can’t believe that its true. i love lauren and who ever said that a twelve year old wrote that Gilmore Girls is a great show has no idea what they are talking about. i am 17 and i love the show. They are both amazing actresses and the show has tons and tons and tons of fans. who else can have that many lines and say them that fast? Its like the scenes are real and not scripted. Teenagers can relate to the show and thats why its so popular. I agree completely with Trisha.

It’s definately true! I’ve worked the show, seen background workers drinking cold coffee and eating stale doughnuts while the cast and crew walk around with plates of exceptional food, right in front of hungry people. It’s disgusting and filthy greed and lack of human compassion. It is a shame. I wouldn’t treat my dog as poorly as these background workers get treated on sets like Lauren’s. Granted, some have more compassion, but it’s a system and background workers are second class citizens at best.

This is true! I was on set that day. Also, last year, she called us cockroaches. I refuse to work the show any longer because of her disrespectful behavior.

Been in the same airspace with her more than once. She was icy and standoffish, very unlike her bubbly late-night talk show guest persona. And she doesn’t look as if she eats enough to care whether the extras are mooching her buffet.
Andi
She does look like she’s copping a squat in this pic. all that’s missing is the sports page and a cigar!

Gilmore Girls is beneath me.

As magazine photo editor I had the misfortune to work with her on a photo shoot a few years back. She’s awful. One of my least favorites. This story surprises me not at all!
Anonymous
That picture of her looks like she is crouching in a public bathroom getting ready to take a dump.
I could never stand watching gilmore girls…her character is snotty and talks way too much about nothing saying nothing but trying to convince herself that she is smart.
yawn. pffffffffffft

She’s cute, I’ll give her that. But she’s a crap actor. “Gilmore Girls is a great show”. God, who writes these retarded comments 12 year olds?
Trisha
Whatever, I’ve met her and I know she’s nice and I will always think she’s the best. The rest of you that think she’s a no talent actress are just jealous. You 30 seconds of fame is from a message board, LOSERS! Lauren is SUPER nice and VERY pretty in real life. I bet the rest of you don’t look so hot in flip flops out shopping either, so get over it! Gilmore Girls is a great show and Lauren and Alexis are great people!

Budget-wise my ass. They’ve got plenty of money. Some of the crew and some cast think it’s below them to associate with extras. The irony is that it’s the biggest stars like Harrison Ford for instance that can be super kind to the extras. Others like that b…. Murphy Brown actress, Candice what’s her face. We were told don’t look at her eyes or you’ll be sent home. Where is she now. Gone forever I hope. Some shows were cool to work for others had the “cast and crew only” signs everywhere. And there’s not always hundreds of extras there at a time. Sometimes it’s only a few. They could be nicer if they wanted. I mean what would the cast do without extras walk around by themselves I suppose.

Sheesh, what a twat.

Never watched the show. Never heard of her. Hope her 15 minutes are up soon, if that’s her attitude.

I first saw Lauren Graham when she played Richard’s girlfriend in “Caroline in the City”.
Then she had a part in a short-lived show called “Townies”. I think she played a waitress.
Her father raised her single handedly. He was a lawyer. must still be. He was very good looking in the late 1970’s when he was young.
too bad she’s such a snob, because she has not risen to such a level of fame.
Nor has she really been around that long. maybe over 10 years or so.

This is so lame. Once in a while an “unidentified source” says bad things about Lauren Graham while every one that actually has a name and that can prove that have met her says she is very nice, fans and extras included.

Extras are normally not allowed to eat off the same food tables as the cast and crew. Not because we hate them, but because budget-wise, it’s easier for the craft service people to give the background players a different table. That and if they don’t have a different table they’ll eat everything in sight because there are a couple of hundred of them.
Anonymous is right – what you’re seeing on TV is a role this person is playing. A lot of actors are NOT nice people, but if they’ve got good publicity folks you’ll never know it.
leyanne
I was told a few months ago about how bad she treated the extras!I could hardly believe it!She has a really bad rep.She should realize she will meet the same people when she loses popularity, and get little aympathy!

Two years from now she will be working the boat show at Nassau Colisseum on Long Island. I hope she saved some money.

Just for what it’s worth I’ve been hearing the same story told for the last 7 years – well let me rephrase that. This isn’t the first website to report the story above in fact it’s been recycled from the first season of the show. Yet for some reason particular gossip websites keep on rehashing it.

Hah Bev you wish.

Oh Barry tell us another tale,now go hang your Lauren poster

Eh, people trolling again I see. Been working on her show from day one and had no problemos so far.

I believe it. This woman has that look of a marginally attractive woman who THINKS she is more attractive and talented thanshe is,walking around with her nose up in the air.
Gilmore Girls stunk, two totally annoying characters played by milk toast actors!
