Kimberly Alexis Bledel (Spanish: [ˈbledel], English: /ˈblɛdəl/ BLEH-dəl; born September 16, 1981) is an American actress and model. She is known for her role as Rory Gilmore in the WB/CW comedy-drama Gilmore Girls, and that series' 2016 Netflix reunion miniseries. She has since starred in films, including Tuck Everlasting (2002), Sin City (2005), The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005), The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008) and Post Grad (2009).

Bledel was born in Houston, Texas, to Nanette (née Dozier), who worked as a gift processor and flight attendant, and Martín Bledel. She has a younger brother, Eric. Her father was born and raised in Argentina. Her paternal grandfather, Enrique Einar Bledel Huus, was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and was of Danish and distant German descent; Enrique was Vice President of Coca-Cola Latin America and the Coca-Cola Inter-American Corporation. Bledel's paternal grandmother, Jean (née Campbell), was originally from New York, and had Scottish and English ancestry. Bledel's mother, Nanette, was born in Phoenix, Arizona, and moved to Guadalajara, Mexico, at the age of eight; Nanette was raised there, and in Mexico City. Of her parents' upbringing in Latin America, Bledel has stated "It's the only culture my mom knows from life, and my father as well, and they made the decision to raise their children within the context they had been raised in". Bledel grew up in a Spanish-speaking household, and did not learn English until she began school; she considers herself a Latina.
