Do the producers take the actors' cosmetic surgery into account? Graham looks like a bulldog, her face ruined any remotely pretty and romantic scene, especially the last one, when she walks through the sheets.

I am not sure if it is actually plastic surgery or Botox. I'm not an expert but the puffy face makes me think she has regular Botox injections. I find this distracting for all actors since these procedures limit the use of the face and facial expression is a huge part of an actors career. It's a shame so many comprise like this to enhance their looks. It affects the storytelling. I guess it's a double edged sword, but I have a yet to see an actor that looks younger because of Botox or surgery. They just look the same age but with unnaturally smooth, tight or puffy skin

Not one looks younger or better. And the shame is that a lot of them, like Graham, could age quite beautifully.

i was thinking the same thing - what had she done to her face? She did look like a bull-dog in some scenes.
Let's face it - Graham turns 50 in a few months, but I think they want to keep her character somewhere in the early 40s stages, which makes no sense. Not sure if this was Graham's own choice, or the producer's choice to puff up her face like that. It was awful.

I dunno the age gap between Lorelai and Rory is so well known - 16 years - that I don't see why the show-runners would be trying to pass her off as much younger. Lorelai's 48, Graham is 49 - it all works. Paris even makes a point about the uncertainty of using eggs "over age 44." And I think at one point Lorelai says something about "milestones looming," which I take to mean "turning 50." So they really weren't trying to skate around what age she is.
Of course I don't know, but I would guess whatever work she had done was her own choice. Maybe coming back to Gilmore Girls was kind of like a class reunion where you really want to look the way everyone remembers you. She shouldn't have tried so hard. I don't know when her IMDB picture was taken, but she looks SO much lovelier and un-tampered-with there. -

To be honestI thought her face was odd looking too.
I don't know if that has to do with surgery and I understand that it is completely normal that she has gained weight.
She still looks great though but currently watching GG again and she looks damn near perfect.. -

I saw the pictures of her from December 2016 when she was promoting her book and she was gorgeous. She's aging pretty well for someone in Hollywood. No face or neck lift, just some botox injections. Considering her fear of knives and needles I doubt she will be going to extremes.

To me, her puffy face looks more like the result of taking prednisone or other steroids used for health problems such as auto-immune disease (or prescribed after receiving an organ transplant). Her weight gain is a bit of a jolt as well. It looks like the type of weight gain that results from using mood-stabilizing drugs for clinical depression or bipolar disorder.

That's the thing - they don't. They look older. The women in their 20s and 30s, who have had work done, look like they're in their 50s or 60s.
