Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

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.

Critic reviews

Kelly Bishop is a remarkable person with remarkable stories to tell. I cherish every long lunch and late work night I’ve ever had with Kelly, sharing stories of our careers and love lives, our ups and downs, our disappointments and hopes. This book feels like one of those special encounters—it’s a satisfying conversation with a treasured friend. (Lauren Graham, author of 'Talking As Fast As I Can')
The Third Gilmore Girl is a ‘Number One.’—I loved it! She’s sassy, she’s funny she’s honest…. she’s a winner! (Priscilla Lopez, Tony Award-winning actor)
Bold, unapologetic, and inspiring, Kelly tells her story exactly as she lives her life: on her own terms. Gee… I wish I could be like her when I grow up. (Sutton Foster, Tony Award-winning actress and author of Hooked: A Memoir in Crafts)

Definitely my favourite way to spend 6hours and 49 minutes 🧡

I loved every single minute of this beautiful journey I feel so privileged to have had the joy of listening to it and loved it even more because my favourite Gilmore girl read it. What a life Kelly has lived and such a wealth of wisdom she has gathered along the way which the listeners are lucky enough to be gifted throughout this book. Important lessons about life from the perspective of loved experience something I will always be grateful for. When things feel like they are falling apart maybe they are falling into place 🧡

Is there anything Kelly Bishop can’t do?

I fell in love with Emily Gilmore so I had to get this book. Now I absolutely love Kelly Bishop. What a woman! I found every word fascinating

What an extraordinary life (and outlook on it)

Kelly Bishop is so much more than “just” the Third Gilmore Girl (although I adore her for this part) and it is a pure joy to discover the rest of her fascinating story through her own words and voice.
Infinitely worth listening to (or reading!) and special love for the wisdom of the last chapter that I will always try to keep in mind and pass on.
Thank you Kelly!

Raw, honest, well written, and inspiring. What a woman. I felt very connected to her and appreciated the vulnerability yet clear strength within her! Loved.
