Alexis Bledel
Playing goody-goody Rory Gilmore was Bledel’s second role as an actress, but not her last. She played Lena in two Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants films, appeared on Mad Men in 2012 and starred in the short-lived series Us & Them. In 2016, she revived her role as Rory for the Netflix reboot, and beginning in 2017, she portrayed the character Emily Malek in The Handmaid’s Tale. In 2014, Bledel married Vincent Kartheiser, whom she met on Mad Men, and in fall 2015 they welcomed their first child.
