In the audience was Graham’s TV mom, Kelly Bishop (Emily Gilmore), and Scott Patterson, who played Luke Danes, Stars Hollow’s local diner owner and Lorelai’s love interest.
Matt Czuchry, who portrayed an ex-boyfriend of Lorelai’s daughter, Rory Gilmore (played by Alexis Bledel), was also in attendance. A number of Gilmore Girls producers and writers also attended the ceremony.
The drama series ran for seven seasons from October 2000 until May 2007. It followed single mom Lorelai and her teen daughter Rory living in the storybook Connecticut town of Stars Hollow, populated by an eclectic mix of dreamers, artists and everyday folks. A four-part follow-up miniseries, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, was released on Netflix in 2016.
In the series, Lorelai did her best to balance motherhood and love while running a local bed and breakfast with her best friend Sookie (Melissa McCarthy), while also trying to maintain a cordial relationship with her wealthy parents.

October marks the 25th anniversary of the show’s premiere.

While Bledel wasn’t present at Friday’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, the 44-year-old actress did make an appearance with Graham at the 77th annual Primetime Emmy Awards in September.
In March 2025, Graham told PEOPLE that landing the fast-talking role “hit me like meeting somebody.”

“It hit me like a boyfriend,” she said at PaleyFest L.A. “Honestly, it was just like a connection that I felt so connected to it immediately, and also, ‘Everyone else get out of my way,’ which is not a feeling I felt often.” She continued: “I just felt seen. I felt like I recognized this, and it recognized me and I don’t know how often that happens.”
Graham can now be seen on the big screen in Twinless, opposite Dylan O’Brien and James Sweeney. Her next film, Reminders of Him, opens on March 13.
