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 Baby’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 recognisable voice has echoed through theatres 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 dancer at Radio City in the ’60s, to marrying young to a compulsive gambler, to her time as a burnt-out Las Vegas showgirl, nothing is off-limits. She takes readers behind the scenes, tells us how she helped create a role in A Chorus Line, shows what it was like having Ed Herrmann as her TV husband and Lauren Graham as her TV daughter, and describes 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, The Third Gilmore Girl is a warm, unapologetic, lively memoir from a woman who has left enduring impressions on her audiences for decades – and who has no plans of slowing down.

MENINGEN: Een mooi geschreven verhaal van een intrigerende vrouw. Vooral bekend als Emily Gilmore, maar ze is uiteraard meer dan die rol.
Sterke vrouw. Bijzonder te lezen over haar danscarrière, de mensen die ze heeft ontmoet. Haar rol in Dirty Dancing. Maar voor mij (als echte GG fan) blijft ze altijd the third Gilmore girl…
