Alexis Bledel, the strikingly blue-eyed actress of the WB’s Gilmore Girls and movie series The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, is starring next in Julio DePietro’s The Good Guy. Bledel plays Beth, the brainy and charming object of a greedy Wall Street hotshot’s affection (played by Friday Night Lights’ Scott Porter). As a soon-to-be full-time New Yorker, Bledel talks to Vulture about filming a “guys’ movie,” checking out Broadway, and not being a scenester.
You always seem to play the quiet, intellectual girl. Is that true to your personality?
Yeah, maybe. I’m definitely not a very outgoing person.
Have you spent much time in New York since attending NYU?
I’m going back and forth to L.A., but I might make a permanent move here soon. For now, I’m just shuttling back and forth and gradually becoming more of a New Yorker.

Many know of the University of Michigan through its famous alumni – Madonna, Gerald Ford, Arthur Miller. And . . . Gregory House, and Gerald and Karen DeGroot. The first three names are really well-known in the fields of public policy, music and theatre. The last three aren’t real at all. House, the lead character on the Fox medical drama of the same name, is a Michigan medical school graduate, and the DeGroots are Michigan doctoral candidates who founded the mysterious Dharma Initiative at the centre of the ABC serial Lost. Such tie-ins allow TV and film productions to be more authentic while at the same time providing universities with free advertising and the chance to up their coolness quotient. “It’s fun for everyone – alumni and students – to see their university pop up in film,” said Lee Doyle, who heads up the University of Michigan’s film office. And, while that may be, it sometimes can be serious business for Doyle and others who hold the equivalent job at major universities. They have their school’s reputation to consider in weighing whether to allow it to be associated with a TV show or movie.
Another Ivy League school, Yale University, took extra steps to assist a production team in making Rory Gilmore’s campus accommodations authentically Yale for the Connecticut-based but California-shot TV show Gilmore Girls. Helaine Klasky, Yale’s director of public affairs, said the show’s attention to detail was such that it even asked the school to supply some names of area restaurants for when Rory’s family members come to visit and want to take her out for a meal.
