After all, Chris Guest commonly uses most of the same actors in all of his movies (one of whom is Jane Lynch, who had a significant recurring role in "The Marvelous Mrs Maisel"), and so does Kevin Smith. Frankly, the Palladinos leave us with a lot of unexplained loose ends, in both series.) And fourth, it's interesting to note that the Palladinos seem to have some favorite actors, three of whom were in both series, and one of whom, from "The Marvelous Mrs Maisel," was the wife of an actor who was a regular in "The Gilmore Girls." I know you're thinking "who cares," and you're not wrong. (The series starts with her married, living with her husband and her parents, and being the mother of two young children, but her husband inexplicably announces he's leaving her, and he's having an affair, but we're never told why he cheated on this magnificent - "Marvelous," which she is - creature. Third, the lead character in "The Marvelous Mrs Maisel" is extremely capable and talented, but she, too, appears to be incapable of stable relating. So it's very unnatural to me to pronounce the name of some of the characters in this series as MAI-sel, even though that's how Amy Sherman-Palladino wants it pronounced. Another is that one of my boyhood/school friends was Michael Maisel, whose name is pronounced Mai-SEL. One is that I do more or less whatever my daughter tells me to do. Now, there are a few things to note here. "The Gilmore Girls" was one of them, and the other - "The Marvelous Mrs Maisel" - was suggested by my daughter. I wanted to talk about Amy Sherman-Palladino and her husband, Daniel Palladino, and the series they created and produced, and for which they wrote many/most of the episodes, and directed many/most of them, too. Any more than I'm ever going to meet Catherine Keener, who grew up in our area, and whose mother lives on the southern border of North Miami, very near us, and on whom (Catherine, not Candy, her mother) I also have a huge crush, and who is no longer married to Dermot Mulroney, and who is also too young for me, and whom I'm also never going to meet. After all, she's still too young for me, and I'm still never going to meet her. Although one thing I read placed the blame for the break-up on Krause.īut I didn't really intend to talk about Lauren Graham, or my massive crush on her. So who knows about Lauren Graham's ability to be in a stable relationship (Peter Krause probably does). But that relationship reportedly fell apart recently. She has no children, though, and I have no information as to why not. But then again, she did maintain a relationship, for 11 years (who knows how stable it was), with Peter Krause. So I wondered if Lauren Graham chose these roles because they "resonate" with her: because she identifies with women who are incapable of maintaining stable relationships. But one does hear of actors choosing certain roles, and declining others, for various reasons. At one level, actors are very eager to work, and they are sort of inclined to take what's available. The other things about Lauren Graham are that she's too young for me, she lives in Los Angeles (so there's no way I would ever meet her), and until recently, she was in a 11 year relationship with Peter Krause, who was one of the main actors in my favorite TV drama, "Six Feet Under." What's interesting about Lauren Graham is that she plays (chooses?) roles which are women who are shockingly incapable of stable relationships. I've now seen her in two series: "The Gilmore Girls" and "Parenthood." Really, I think Lauren Graham is too skinny for my tastes, but I have a mad crush on her anyway. ![]() Especially if you've never even met the person. What's more appealing about one person over another for a given other person? How should I know? It's a lot of things, and they're essentially all intangible and unconscious. I know why I binge-watched "The Gilmore Girls." Yes, it's an intensely girly series, and there's no reason I would ever have watched even one episode of it, except I have a mad crush on Lauren Graham.
