Summary
“Come for the Gilmore Girls anecdotes, stay for the revealing truths about what it takes to build a lifelong career in and out of Hollywood” (The A.V. Club) in this candid and captivating memoir from award-winning and beloved actress Kelly Bishop, spanning her six decades in show business from A Chorus Line, Dirty Dancing, Gilmore Girls, and much more.

Kelly Bishop’s long, storied career has been defined by landmark achievements, from winning a Tony Award for her turn in the original Broadway cast of A Chorus Line to her memorable performance as Jennifer Grey’s mother in Dirty Dancing. But it is probably her iconic role as matriarch Emily in the modern classic Gilmore Girls that cemented her legacy.

Now, Bishop reflects on her remarkable life and looks towards the future with The Third Gilmore Girl. She shares some of her greatest stories and the life lessons she’s learned on her journey. From her early transition from dance to drama, to marrying young to a compulsive gambler, to the losses and achievements she experienced—among them marching for women’s rights and losing her second husband to cancer—Bishop offers a rich, genuine celebration of her life.

Full of witty insights, The Third Gilmore Girl is a warm, unapologetic, and spirited memoir from a woman who has left indelible impressions on her audiences for decades and has no plans on slowing down.

Where to start! I don’t have the words to describe just how beautiful this book is. I know it is said that you should never assume you ‘know’ a celebrity just because you love their work, as actors are… well.. actors! But Kelly Bishop is every bit as incredible as I had made her up to be in my mind, just from watching her fabulosity on my TV screen as a teenager. She is honest, she is humble but also fiercely confident in her abilities, and this beautifully written book describes every step in how she became that way. When speaking about the Gilmore Girls you can hear just how much she loved the show, the cast, the writers, the whole experience and I had goosebumps as I listened. As a feminist, as a woman who has a daughter, Kelly’s words make me so proud to be a woman, a strong woman but also reminds me to pay attention to how truly wonderful life is and CAN be. Thank you Kelly, I am forever a fan of your work as an actor and now, very much, as an author and as a badass human being. Just incredible.
