Charlotte Fullerton grew up in New England with the same school uniform, hairstyle and academic attitude as Rory, but left her own version of Stars Hollow behind for Los Angeles to attend the University of Southern California’s School of Cinema-Television. Currently, Charlotte is a busy freelance writer of children’s books, pop culture magazines and some of your kids’ favorite animated TV shows. Still, she is perhaps best known as one of the creators of the fan-favorite Star Wars short film, “Troops.” Whenever Charlotte gets homesick, she has lunch on the Warner Bros lot and walks around the Gilmore Girls’ exteriors decorated for fall or winter—which she doesn’t have to rake or shovel.
