Publisher's 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 Girlis 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.

Story
In the early 2000s, after years of hard work and determination to breakthrough as an actor, Bethany Joy Lenz was finally cast as one of the leads on the hit drama One Tree Hill. Her career was about to take off, but her personal life was slowly beginning to unravel. What none of the show’s millions of fans knew, hidden even from her costars, was her secret double life in a cult. An only child who always wanted a place to belong, Lenz found the safe haven she’d been searching for in a Bible study group with other Hollywood creatives. However, the group soon morphed into something more sinister.

In 2022, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter to help finally finish her long-gestating memoir. A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words, never know the passionate, joyful, caring, and complicated woman that Riley loved and now grieved. Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, lay in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story about smashing golf carts together in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about being upstairs, just the two of them.

From Lauren Graham, the beloved star of Gilmore Girls and Parenthood, comes a witty, charming, and hilariously relatable debut novel about a struggling young actress trying to get ahead - and keep it together - in New York City. It’s January 1995, and Franny Banks has just six months left of the three-year deadline she set for herself when she came to New York, dreaming of Broadway and doing "important" work. But all she has to show for her efforts so far is a part in an ad for ugly Christmas sweaters, and a gig waiting tables at a comedy club....

From his earliest days growing up in Canada, Deryck Whibley was a punk who loved music and couldn’t wait to achieve something bigger and better than the humble path that lay before him. Whibley was raised by a single mom and their small family constantly moved from place to place, so he was used to being the new kid, starting fights (or finishing them), and connecting with people who shared his sensibility for chaotic fun and loud music. Sum 41 was born of a group of friends who loved to jam, shared a DIY ethos, and were determined to be rock stars one day.

Loved it way more than I even guessed
I loved this so much more than I thought I would for all the reasons I couldn’t imagine. The book is quick and moves right a long (my favourite). Kelly is so much lovelier than I could have imagined. She is so positive and humble. Even after 60+ years in the business she is always amazed when she books a gig! She’s a class act.

The third but definitely not the least
Kelly Bishops story is an incredible one. She truly is a great example of never giving in, never giving up and never sacrificing yourself or your integrity. Her memoir was long overdue and a masterpiece in itself. Gilmore girls lives in the heart of many people, my self included, and Kelly bishops emily is at the center of it. She was the heartbeat of the show and hearing her thoughts and stories only solidifies that. This book is wonderfully written and narrated.

Waiting
As a fan of Gilmore Girls since the pilot was released when I was 14 years old I wasn't sure what this biography would bring.
Short glimpses into the life of Kelly Bishop, but mainly a list of the work she has done and the accomplishment that went with it. A touch of her personal life throughout.
I found myself waiting for the lesson. She is a master at the art of attraction definitely a Manifesting Generator in human design.
Ulltimately it left me wanting more. Not deeper into her personal life necessarily I don't consider myself a nosey person, but something..
That being said I really enjoyed listening to the sound of her voice and seeing briefly into the life that created her. it is clear that her role on Gilmour Girls was definitely made for her.
Just another fan, waiting for the day that another season of Gilmore Girls is released before it is to late.
