INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A Goodreads Choice Awards Winner "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 memoir from beloved actress Kelly Bishop, spanning her six decades on Broadway, in Hollywood, and on TV in A Chorus Line, Dirty Dancing, Gilmore Girls, and much more. After more than half a century in show business, Kelly Bishop has stories to tell. From her Tony Award-winning performance in the original Broadway cast of A Chorus Line, to playing Jennifer Grey's mother in Dirty Dancing, to her iconic role as matriarch Emily Gilmore in the groundbreaking television classic Gilmore Girls, few actors have enjoyed such long-running success--and even fewer can claim the adoration that this legendary actress has cultivated over her many working years. Kelly's instantly recognizable voice has echoed through theaters and living rooms for decades. For the first time, Kelly opens the door into her own life. She retraces her steps from Broadway to Hollywood and everywhere in between, reflecting on her remarkable life and sharing some of her greatest memories and the lessons she learned along the way. From her early days as a ballet dancer at Radio City in the '60s, to marrying young to a compulsive gambler, to her time as a burned-out Las Vegas showgirl, nothing is off-limits. She takes readers behind the scenes of her acting career, from how she helped create the role of Sheila Bryant in A Chorus Line, what it was like having Ed Herrmann as her TV husband and Lauren Graham as her TV daughter, and working with some of the biggest names in showbiz. The result is an enchanting celebration of a fearless and versatile performer whose talent and spirit have earned her an enduring place in the hearts and homes of millions. Chock-full of witty insights and personal photographs, and now featuring a fabulous bonus transcription of Kelly's book launch event with Lauren Graham, The Third Gilmore Girl is a warm, unapologetic, lively memoir from a woman who has left enduring impressions on her audiences--and who has no plans of slowing down.
