Kimberly Alexis Bledel (born September 16, 1981 in Houston, Texas, USA) is an American actress of Argentine and Mexican descent.
Former worldly model turned actress Alexis Bledel built a sturdy fan base with her role on television's Gilmore Girls before falling for a young immortal in 2002's Tuck Everlasting. A native of Houston, TX, whose native tongue was Spanish, Bledel's Argentine father and Mexican mother encouraged her to try community theater at the age of eight to overcome shyness. The aspiring actress would subsequently appear in local productions of Our Town and The Wizard of Oz before being scouted at a local mall and whisked into life on the catwalks.
Traveling through Europe and Japan before graduating from Houston's Saint Agnes Academy, Alexis Bledel would also graduate from the Page Parkes Center for Modeling and Acting before enrolling as a film major at N.Y.U. Though it may come as no surprise to many that the ethereal young actress was voted one of People magazine's Hottest Stars Under 25 in 2002, the firmly grounded actress appeared to have a promising career in store for her whether it be on the pages of Vogue (magazine) or under the bright lights of Tinseltown.
She is currently dating former Gilmore Girls co-star Milo Ventimiglia.
