Kelly Bishop’s nuanced portrayal of Gilmore matriarch made her a fan favorite for good reason. Of course, Kelly Bishop has done much more than just Gilmore Girls. She’s a trained ballerina. She has been a working actor in film, theater and television since the 1960s. She is a legend on Broadway. In this excerpt, you’ll hear the first chapter of her memoir The Third Gilmore Girl, read by the amazing author herself, where she tells the story of being cast in A Chorus Line and how it changed her life forever.
