About this listen

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)

I enjoyed listening to eveey moment of Kelly Bishop's memoir. Before this, all I knew about her was that she was a dancer before she became an actor. This is a woman who has always known what she wanted in her life and followed that path. What a fascinating and inspirational woman.
