Lauren Graham

Lauren Graham is an American actress born on Thursday, March 16, 1967, in Honolulu, Hawaii, to a candy industry lobbyist father and a Southern mother. Her parents divorced when she was five, and she was raised by her father, traveling extensively with him during her childhood. She grew up in Northern Virginia, specifically in Fairfax, Arlington, and Great Falls, and graduated from Langley High School in McLean, VA. She later earned a Bachelor's Degree in English from Barnard College and a Master's Degree in Acting from Southern Methodist University.

Graham, who has Irish, English, and Scottish ancestry, initially dreamed of being a jockey, but her height of 5'8" put an end to that aspiration. She discovered acting in elementary school, and her career has spanned theatre, film, and television. Standing at 5'8" with an average build, blue eyes, brown hair, and natural 34B bra size, she continues to work in the entertainment industry.
