Long before Lauren Graham charmed audiences on the fan favorites Gilmore Girls, Parenthood, and Zoey\u2019s Extraordinary Playlist, she spent years in New York, working odd jobs while trodding the boards at off-off Broadway theaters across the city. It was a pleasure for us to enjoy a round with Lauren and hear about her early dreams of rep company \u201cstardom,\u201d her stint as a waitress at the legendary Improv, her failed attempts to channel her inner llama, and the cozy camaraderie that has always made Joe Allen a special place to her.
