"Beloved award-winning actress Kelly Bishop, famous for playing the iconic Emily Gilmore in Gilmore Girls, finally tells the whole story of her six decades in show business.
Kelly Bishop's 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 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, sharing 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 powerful memoir from a woman who has left indelible impressions on her audiences for decades."
My Rating: 5/5
Reading this from the author narrating made it so much more heartfelt. Learning more about this marvellous actress's background and history in the arts. I also loved hearing about how she was so influential on Broadway and off. Her outlook on life and her ability to be so humble after being so amazing were incredible. This memoir moved me to tears. Would highly recommend it if you like celebrity memoirs.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
