The Odd Life of Timothy Green<\/em>. The talented actress was born in Houston, Texas, but only lived there for three years before she moved to Charleston, West Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAlthough she didn’t spend a lot of her life in Houston, it’s special to think about where she came from and how the famous celebrity was born and partially raised in the beautiful city of Houston, Texas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Alexis Bledel <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Alexis Bledel is my all-time favorite actress because of her role in Gilmore Girls<\/em>. She was born and raised in Houston, Texas, and graduated from Baptist and Lutheran schools in Houston as well. She was so shy that her mother suggested to her that she try acting to help her become less shy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn Houston, she appeared in some local productions of The Wizard of Oz<\/em> and Our Town<\/em>. I never knew this story and how she played roles in musicals and plays in Houston before becoming a big star. She then was scouted by model agents in a mall and became a model for a few agencies as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAlexis’s first major role was Rory in Gilmore Girls<\/em>. This only started her acting career, as she has starred in many other shows and has become an extremely recognizable face for many Americans. I love the show Gilmore Girls<\/em> and didn’t know that she was from Houston. The next time I visit the city, I’m definitely going to find her home, her favorite places, and think about how I am in the state where my favorite actress was born. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAlexis Bledel is now married and a mother, living in Los Angelos, California, and is working on another show that she is famous for called Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants<\/em>. Her story proves that anyone can become a big star no matter where you live, even if you are shy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
