Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham were together again on Saturday at a Gilmore Girls reunion. The cast reunited at the ATX Television Festival in Austin, Texas. The Parenthood star played the mom of Alexis Bledel’s Gilmore Girls character. Lorelai and Rory Gilmore were the highlight of the series that aired from 2000 to 2007.
