Lauren Graham Remembers The Time Rita Moreno Told Her, “Don’t Whine”

Beloved Gilmore Girls mom Lauren Graham was on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, promoting her new show The Z-Suite on Tubi. She also reflected on how popular Gilmore Girls has become in recent years — and remembered a moment on an early job when stage and screen legend Rita Moreno may have told her to stop whining.

Jimmy Kimmel noted that the popular Amy Sherman-Palladino drama, which brought Graham fame for her role as a single mother raising a precocious daughter in small-town New England, is having its 25th anniversary, and continues to gain new fans every year; it is also one of the most rewatched series on Netflix.
