Executive summary: Belly Buttons are Cool Graham taught herself to read as an infant, which allowed her to skip kindergarten. Like her Lorelai Gilmore in Gilmore Girls, she had a distant relationship with her mother, who left home to pursue a career as a singer just as her daughter was entering school. Also like her Gilmore Girls character, Graham tends toward loopiness when she is nervous.
Prior to playing the hip unwed mother of Alexis Bledel, Graham had featured roles in four different sitcoms, all of which were quite quickly cancelled -- Good Company, Townies, Conrad Bloom, and MYOB. She also had recurring roles as an annoyingly perky girl on Caroline in the City, and as an efficiency expert on NewsRadio.
In her several movies, she has usually been relegated to background roles. She played the school principal to Vin Diesel's The Pacifier, was dumped cruelly by Josh Brolin in Nightwatch, and she wisely dumped Keanu Reeves in Sweet November. She had a rare big-screen leading role opposite Billy Bob Thornton in Bad Santa, as an alcoholic bartender with a Saint Nick fetish. She was the second choice to play Sarah Braverman in the sit-com Parenthood, hired only after a bout of cancer kept Maura Tierney from the role.
