Lauren Graham | Gilmore Girls

American actress Lauren Graham started her television career with a role on the sitcom Caroline in the City. She then starred in a few episodes of Law & Order. Her work in M.Y.O.B. (2000) turned out to be a flop, but the cancellation of the show turned out to be a blessing in disguise as she would later star in her most notable performance to date in the series called Gilmore Girls.

Graham received numerous awards for her work on the show, including a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Golden Globe Award. She reportedly earned $50,000 per episode, accumulating $4,350,000 for the show’s first four seasons. Although not confirmed, it’s safe to say that her salary went up as the show aired for a few more seasons. She has since put up investments in her own production company, Good Game Entertainment.
