In her new memoir, veteran actor Kelly Bishop recounts her life in show business, from her early days as a ballet dancer and chorus member in stage musicals to her more recent roles as formidable matriarchs in movies and TV shows. Along the way, she won a Tony for her role in A Chorus Line (a role that she also inspired the creation of) and became known in households across the country as the exacting Emily Gilmore in the WB show Gilmore Girls. This book covers all of that, as well as her personal life behind the scenes, including her marriages, her longtime love of animals, and her dedication to feminist causes. It's a lovely book, and the audiobook (read by the author) made me feel like Bishop was sitting beside me, just chatting about her life. It's nothing groundbreaking, but as a longtime Gilmore Girls fan, I loved it.
