American Icons: You can do anything! That’s the message of the seven decades of female risk takers, rule breakers and style makers. The latest issue of Glamour Magazine celebrates them with the help of some very-2009 young talents.
Alexis Bledel as Rosie the Riveter: In 1942 the U.S. government commissioned the “We Can Do It!” poster, which featured an image of a character who became known as Rosie the Riveter. Her biceps-revealing shirtsleeves and determined look were meant to motivate American women to step out of the kitchen and into the factory to replace the men who had been pressed into service during World War II. And millions did just that, paving the way for us to pull down paychecks more than 60 years later. “She’s a symbol of women getting things done. It shows that strength is beautiful.” – Alexis Bledel

Alexis is featured in the latest issue of Parade Magazine. Here’s what they have to say on her:
Personal
Born Sept. 16, 1981, in Houston, Tex. Single.
Why You Know Her
She played the intelligent and introspective only daughter of a single mom for seven years on Gilmore Girls.
What You Don’t Know
Growing up, Alexis spoke Spanish first. She didn’t learn English until she began attending school.
For seven years, she starred on the hit series Gilmore Girls. Now 26, the lovely but shy Alexis Bledel is focused on the big screen. She has a new movie coming out from Fox called The Post-Grad Survival Guide and an independent film called The Good Guy. But you can see her returning to theaters right now with those magical blue jeans in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, based on a popular young-adult book series about four friends. On a recent day off, Alexis conceded, “Part 1 wasn’t necessarily big at the box office, but the DVD was huge. In Part 2, we [the four girls who share a friendship and those extraordinary pants] are all a little older, and we’re off to college and new challenges.” Read the rest of this entry »
