Talking as fast as I can

More about the book

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER with a new bonus chapter, this collection of personal essays by the beloved star of Gilmore Girls and Parenthood reveals stories about life, love, and the challenges of being a woman in Hollywood. Lauren Graham reflects on her journey, sharing laugh-out-loud anecdotes from her childhood, her early days as an actress, and her time on the Parenthood set, where she pondered, "Did you, um, make it?" She candidly discusses the difficulties of being single in Hollywood, the unusual audition for a role, and her experience as a judge on Project Runway, humorously describing it as a "fashion-induced blackout." In "What It Was Like, Part One," Graham revisits her casting as the fast-talking Lorelai Gilmore during an epic marathon of the show. "What It Was Like, Part Two" captures her feelings about reprising the role nine years later and its significance for her. Readers will discover her attempts to bond with Ellen DeGeneres over veganism, the pitfalls of meeting men at awards shows, and her love for REI shopping. Featuring photos and diary excerpts from the filming of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, this book is like a cozy night in with your best friend, filled with laughter and heartfelt stories.
