How You Know Her: You may recognize her as the Kringle-lovin’ chick in 2003’s Bad Santa. But when she’s not riding St. Nick’s sleigh, she’s appearing in flicks such as Evan Almighty (opposite Steve Carell) and The Answer Man (with Jeff Daniels). She’s best known as the hot leading lady on Gilmore Girls, which we’re sure you’ve only “heard of” because of your girlfriend, but don't sleep on her new starring MILF role on NBC's Parenthood.

Well, They Are: "I’ve mined my childhood and show business for stories, and I’ve got a couple old theater tales no one cared about till now. But [hosts] will say, ‘Hey, I read on the Internet that you said, ‘Belly buttons are cool.’?’ I’m like, ‘That old chestnut? You kidding me?’" —The Late Show With David Letterman

Lauren isn't the only Graham with star power. We wouldn't mind s'more of Heather either.
