Lorelai Victoria Gilmore (born 1968) is a fictional character on the television series Gilmore Girls , played by Lauren Graham. She was named after her paternal grandmother, Lorelai "Trix" Gilmore (Marion Ross) and is mother to Lorelai "Rory" Leigh Gilmore (Alexis Bledel).
Raised in Hartford, Connecticut, Lorelai is a highly talkative, free-spirited woman, a child of the eighties and part of the MTV generation. Lorelai: It's my baby box. It's full of all these little things, mementos and stuff from the night Rory was born. I haven't taken it out in ages...My Walkman with the homemade compilation tape still in it. "99 Luftballons," some R.E.M., some Thompson Twins. Sookie: I never cared for them. Lorelai: The magazine I was reading that night, with a special feature on who's hotter - Andrew McCarthy or Emilio Estevez. —Season 4, Ep. 7 "The Festival of Living Art"
Her wealthy parents, Richard (Edward Herrmann) and Emily (Kelly Bishop), raised her to be a proper young lady of good breeding. They had her future in society planned out and arranged for her to come out to society after her sixteenth birthday, but Lorelai was always rebellious and resentful of her structured, sheltered and silver spoon upbringing.
