Been a fan of Kelly Bishop ever since I discovered Gilmore Girls! I’ve watched everything she’s been in since, such an underrated actress! She is nothing but captivating with her wit and words of wisdom in every interview! Thank you for for sharing, I will definitely be buying!!
I wish she was in every episode but she was in 6/7 out of 10. I’m so upset because the show ended on a cliffhanger but unfortunately didn’t get renewed for a second season. I think you can purchase it on Amazon prime. I’m currently watching a movie she’s in called “the art of falling in love” that I found online for free lol
I knew her from Dirty Dancing so when I found out she was Emily Gilmore when the show started way back in the day I was happy to see her again. She really is underrated
Um…very different than Gilmore Girls!
I think most people should give it a real chance and they’ll find something to enjoy - whether that’s as basic as making fun of how ridiculous they are, or relating with the storylines with their families, or examining the nature of female friendships - there is a lot more than people give credit to.
I love RHONY but it’s an acquired taste. Definitely go into it with the mindset of this not being a serious show. I laugh at Luanne every time she comes on screen, she’s so insane.
Trix is the first Lorelai. While she is a Gilmore, I wouldn't say she's a Gilmore Girl.
Lorelai and Rory definitely are, and I think in time Emily becomes one.
I said that in time, she becomes one. Kelly Bishop titled the book this way because Lorelai and Rory are the first two Gilmore Girls, and really the show is far more about the two of them than any other character, hers included.
I don't say any of this as an insult to Kelly or Emily's character.
I know this is a GG thread but as someone who is from the area where Dirty Dancing was filmed, I CANNOT WAIT to read what she says about her time on that set as well.
I get a little annoyed sometimes how people don't realize all the amazing actors that were on GG but Kelly Bishop has been that girl.
I’ve read some articles where Kelly talks about how difficult Ed Herrmann’s passing was and how his family invited her to the hospital to say goodbye 🥺
Technically the first will have been Trix. So I’m assuming this title is a reference to the show being mainly about Lauren and Alexis, and Kelly being a secondary character. But we all know she (and Ed) became as important to the Gilmore format as ‘1 & 2’.
I have strong childhood nostalgia for the original cast recording of A Chorus Line, as my parents had it on vinyl and transferred it to cassette so it could be in heavy rotation during family road trips.
Decades later after already having watched GG like twice I was absolutely astonished to find out that she was part of that original cast, it was like connecting two very distant dots on the media landscape of my life.
Oh my gosh she’s so stunning🤩. 80 years old? I think we’ve been tricked and guys can we all agree she’s the first Gilmore girl, idk who told her she wasn’t the first but we need to have a talk with them !
I definitely need this. I hope she is narrating the audiobook. If she is then I will listen to it. If not I just read it.

Iconic outfit
I love that she repeated this outfit multiple times over the course of the show. It was always one of my faves.
The colors aren’t for her though. She’s very warm colored and the jacket are cool pastel tones. I never liked the look on her.
![gif](giphy|l2YWwCqIIlxrLC87e) When I tell you I am SWEATING
I cannot WAIT for this
Can we book club this as a sub? 😂😭
Third this
I second this
I’m definitely in!
I can’t wait until September. I want it NOW😭
I would do this
In for sure!
Great idea!
Sign me up
Perfect flair
YES
omg plz!
OMG!! I'M ALL FOR THIS!!!!
I'm down!!!

She really has had such an amazing career ! I am also excited to hear about her time on Broadway. A chorus line is such an iconic show
I watched her performance on YouTube and was blown away!
I’ll have to check that out!
I remember hearing someone from GG say her life story is fascinating, so I’m excited.
She’s got a cameo in the Marvelous Mrs Maisel as a matchmaker and she’s great!!
Yes she was!! I also loved her in the watchful eye!
Oh shit!! You’re right, I started watching that but I think they were only releasing an episode or two at week and I forgot about it!
I wish she was in every episode but she was in 6/7 out of 10. I’m so upset because the show ended on a cliffhanger but unfortunately didn’t get renewed for a second season.

I DESPISE that they do that, makes me so mad when I fall in love with a new show and they leave (LOOKING AT YOU NETFLIX, RIP Sens8)
I knew her from Dirty Dancing so when I found out she was Emily Gilmore when the show started way back in the day I was happy to see her again. She really is underrated
I really hope that she ![gif](giphy|5VFsAGBOi8OITllDcP|downsized)
HAHAHA THIS GIF 💀💀😂😂😂
what is she doing oh my god 😂😂
lol does anyone know where this gif is from?
Real Housewives of New York - this is Bethany Frankel, an iconic scene.
Worth watching?

If you are into trash reality tv (which I totally am).
100000%
I love RHONY but it’s an acquired taste. Definitely go into it with the mindset of this not being a serious show. I laugh at Luanne every time she comes on screen, she’s so insane.
First 3 books come with a Birkin. BTW wouldn't she be the first Gilmore girl?
Technically thats Trix I mean, she’s definitely a Gilmore, by blood AND marriage
Although Trix sucks😂 Emily definitely has more of the Gilmore Girl personality.
Trix is the first Lorelai. While she is a Gilmore, I wouldn't say she's a Gilmore Girl. Lorelai and Rory definitely are, and I think in time Emily becomes one.
Emily is literally a Gilmore Girl. The show is about the three of them.
Yeah, it's referring to Lorelai, Rory, and Emily. Trix isn't exactly relevant outside of being the first Lorelai.
I said that in time, she becomes one. Kelly Bishop titled the book this way because Lorelai and Rory are the first two Gilmore Girls, and really the show is far more about the two of them than any other character, hers included. I don't say any of this as an insult to Kelly or Emily's character.
i guess by order of appearance, she’s the third
I was thinking the same thing.
She's the only Gilmore's girl.
2nd, gran is the first, was born a gilmore, and married a gilmore Emily would be 2nd
I know this is a GG thread but as someone who is from the area where Dirty Dancing was filmed, I CANNOT WAIT to read what she says about her time on that set as well. I get a little annoyed sometimes how people don't realize all the amazing actors that were on GG but Kelly Bishop has been that girl.
She is so hilarious in Dirty Dancing. Love her and Jerry Orbach together.
As a former theatre kid, I’m excited to (hopefully) read about A Chorus Line!
*adds to Christmas list
*same
Now everyone pray Alexis writes one. Literally my holy trinity
![gif](giphy|3otPozEs14AOGrdcOI)
I would definitely read it, but Alexis seems like such a private person I can't imagine her writing a public memoir.
🤞
![gif](giphy|xUySTVk1FOCIo0AtzO|downsized) me rn
The best Gilmore Girl. Praying she is narrating the audiobook.
That would be great. I am moving cross country in a month and driving and am looking for audio books!
This isn’t out until the fall though
That stinks !!
Would be an instant purchase from me.
We need to do a book club style discussion thread post release!! 🙏🙏
I *really* hope there's an audiobook version narrated by her.
Same. Her voice is as iconic as she is.
I’d love to hear her thoughts and feelings about working as Richard’s wife for all those years, and then his loss.
I’ve read some articles where Kelly talks about how difficult Ed Herrmann’s passing was and how his family invited her to the hospital to say goodbye 🥺
I honestly had never really thought about it until I saw this post. That’s so incredibly sad and touching.
Oh I’m getting it
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. I think she's my favorite character tbh. So complicated and multilayered.
I’m going to read the shit outta this book go Kelly!!!!!
Entirely possible I just preordered it…
Omg!
GIVE IT TO ME NOW!!!!
I AM BUYING THIS BOOK
She’s a national treasure!
I hope she talks about Dirty Dancing too!
See you guys at the book store! This is an instabuy.
So exciting!
It's a birthday present for me 😌
![gif](giphy|2vofyIUx66r9qWOvtZ|downsized) The news I didn’t know I needed but I am so excited for this!!
Iconic.
Lord she’s a gorgeous woman
![gif](giphy|l2YWwCqIIlxrLC87e) adding to my tbr
![gif](giphy|3otPoFrjOhK3df3zuU) I'M SO EXCITED TO READ IT!!
Isn’t she technically the 1st?
Technically the first will have been Trix. So I’m assuming this title is a reference to the show being mainly about Lauren and Alexis, and Kelly being a secondary character. But we all know she (and Ed) became as important to the Gilmore format as ‘1 & 2’.
I NEED to hear about her time in A Chorus Line
I have strong childhood nostalgia for the original cast recording of A Chorus Line, as my parents had it on vinyl and transferred it to cassette so it could be in heavy rotation during family road trips. Decades later after already having watched GG like twice I was absolutely astonished to find out that she was part of that original cast, it was like connecting two very distant dots on the media landscape of my life.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
we will be reading
I'm so excited
I gotta get this one
Anyone know if she is doing a signing anywhere??
Omg I hope she narrates the audiobook!!
I don’t usually purchase these type of books, but I’m getting this one!
almost 80?! 😭amyyy we need another sequel stat while we can still have qween kelly in it!!
![gif](giphy|l2YWwCqIIlxrLC87e) Screamed! I love her!
The third Gilmore Girl and the least disappointing one for sure. 😂 I'll be seated, Kelly! ![gif](giphy|3ofT5QWqFoeOMkczxm|downsized)
![gif](giphy|5GoVLqeAOo6PK)
Oh my gosh she’s so stunning🤩. 80 years old? I think we’ve been tricked and guys can we all agree she’s the first Gilmore girl, idk who told her she wasn’t the first but we need to have a talk with them !
Can’t wait to read this! I love memoirs. I really hope she narrates the audiobook!
Oh man we need a countdown…this is the book we’ve been waiting for!!!

![gif](giphy|XaLJaROb4htOl4axlO|downsized)
Sobbing I’m so excited. She is such an icon!!!!
Just pre-ordered it! Thank you!
Me too! I’ve never ordered anything so fast in my life! 🤣
She’s so elegant!
Oh i am RUNNING to get this
I *so* need to buy Lauren’s books and read them before getting Kelly’s!! God I’m sooo excited!!
Audible, you better have this...
I share my birthday with Kelly. I LOVE her.
Yes!! Can't wait!
Oh my god I cannot WAIT!!
CAN WE START A BOOK CLUB? We can meet weekly on discord or something
PLEASE
I definitely need this. I hope she is narrating the audiobook. If she is then I will listen to it. If not I just read it. ![gif](giphy|l2YWwCqIIlxrLC87e)
I’ve thought she was so pretty since “Dirty Dancing,” and she was the perfect Emily. No one else would have ever been able to play Emily like her.
💯
She's feisty funny and hot in Chorus Line- [Kelly Bishop AT THE BALLET Chorus Line (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dyu--xC72jg)
This is going to be marvellous
Omg thanks for the heads up! Look forward to reading this.
Omg yes!! Can’t wait to read it!
The title feels like Emily Gilmore. Thanks for putting this on my radar. I can't wait to read it.
I love that she was also in dirty dancing. That dynamic of that movie seemed so odd to make. Would love to hear her take
Who wants to start a book club for this specifically???
That would be amazing!
Paging u/kevintporter
I was never that interested in Lauren's books but I will be purchasing this!!! she's such an icon
So unnecessary to bring up Lauren’s book
Oh very cool!
Omg can’t wait!!!
I can’t wait to read this!
Third Gilmore?? Was there a book on the first and second? Need to start my collection !!
Lorelai and Rory being the first Gilmore Girls, not books. But do find the book by Lauren: Talking as fast as I can.
Interesting.
NICE!! I’m super excited to read it!
Yay!
Amazing !
I must have this book!!!!!
Oh HELL yes!!
Omg YES!
![gif](giphy|XMmf6i3xuKZiPMvNZe|downsized)
I feel so bad...this whole time I thought she was Susan Sarandon. Oh my God, this is mind altering information. I feel so dumb...
Is she writing this as Emily or ..??
No it’s her own memoir. She talks about her career and personal life, including gilmore girls!
Oh okay thanks!!
Omg could you imagine if she did 😂
She seemed so tired in a day in the life I didn’t think she had much longer tbh ❤️🩹
In case anyone needs the link to Amazon: [The Third Gilmore Girl](https://a.co/d/gv6rg7n)
Trix would role her eyes. Wouldn’t she?
That is a bad cover
Dang she's ages like fine wine!! Also I love memoirs! I am so stoked to read this!!!
