Mae Whitman Tries, Fails to Maintain Her Composure at Gilmore Premiere: 'I'd Like to Not Get Arrested' (Video)
Mae Whitman was a basket case at Friday’s world premiere of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life — and, lucky for this bystander, she made little effort to contain the crazy.

Stars Hollow’s second most high-profile stalker (after yours truly, of course) showed up at the event sporting a custom-made-by-Rachel-Antonoff “I’m With Lorelai” tee-shirt and then proceed to hyperventilate her way down the red carpet. By the time she arrived at TVLine’s spot, she was in full-tilt meltdown mode. And it was a glorious sight to see. (Exhibit A: The video above).
“I’m f–king freaking out,” she confessed to me. “I’m trying to act with some composure so I don’t get arrested here.”
Whitman wasn’t just attending the event as a fangirl though. She was there in an official capacity — as a cast member. As we reported last spring, the actress makes an appearance in the four-part revival, appearing opposite her former Parenthood mom and real-life BFF Lauren Graham.
Fun fact: Whitman and I shot our cameos on the same day, and I can confirm what she says in the above video is true — she was a mess the day of filming. But it was a stomach bug, not her Gilmore fanaticism, that felled her.
Press PLAY above and then check back in the coming hours and days for more from Stars Hollow’s elite as TVLine’s “18 Days of Gilmore” scoop countdown continues.
