🚨 NEW MEMOIR ALERT 🚨

Kelly Bishop: The Third Gilmore Girl

From Simon & Schuster: ‘A candid and captivating memoir from award-winning and beloved actress Kelly Bishop, spanning her six decades in show business from Broadway to Hollywood with A Chorus Line, Dirty Dancing, Gilmore Girls, and much more.

Kelly Bishop’s long, 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 iconic 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 with The Third Gilmore Girl. She shares 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 and featuring a special collection of personal and professional photographs, The Third Gilmore Girlis a warm, unapologetic, and spirited memoir from a woman who has left indelible impressions on her audiences for decades and has no plans on slowing down.

Cash Swanson was about to sit down to his favorite meal. Cash’s wife, Patti, knew all of his favorites and prepared a new one every night. Prior to Patti, Stafford wasn’t a big eater because he didn’t know how to cook anything that he liked, and everything that he liked cost an arm and a leg if he went out to a diner, so it was mostly hot dogs, hamburgers, tuna fish mixed into macaroni, and lots of Budweiser. He had, in fact, once characterized his diet to a group of horrified acquaintances as “burgers and beer, bitches.”

This was all BP (before Patti), so it was deep twentieth-century stuff. Stafford was a heavy-duty boomer who had gone from peanut gallery to Mouseketeer to card collector to rock and roll to Beatlemania to pothead, acidhead, deadhead, hippie, drummer, road-tripper college guy, professional, sports writer, married guy, father, farmer, gambler, divorcee, remarried guy, (AP) stepfather, grandfather, retiree, and TV addict.

Of all his myriad twentieth-century addictions, TV was the most ferocious, and CNN was rapidly becoming the snarling king of that jungle when he wasn’t watching the Mets or the Yankees or the Knicks.

Cash considered himself a twentieth-century man. He got the delivered fishwrap every day and loved it. Cash had no credit cards; he let Patti take care of all that !*&!@. He didn’t know Twitter from Fakebook, and as he often said, "couldn’t give a rat’s ass less." He didn’t have a cell phone as he appreciated his alone time almost as much as Patti, who loved it.

The news on this day was all about Charlottesville.

Despite his disdain for the 24-hour news cycle and the constant barrage of sensationalism, Cash found himself irresistibly drawn to the screen, compelled to watch what he often opposed.

Cash’s compulsion to tune into CNN was driven by a need to stay informed, even though he was fully aware that the news often left him feeling more disillusioned than enlightened. He saw the network as a snarling beast, reigning over his TV habits with a ferocity that both repelled and fascinated him. The more he watched, the more he felt the tension between wanting to stay connected to the world and wanting to escape its madness.

This dichotomy was particularly evident in his reaction to the news about Charlottesville and the removal of Confederate statues. Cash was conflicted—on one hand, he respected history and understood the significance of figures like Robert E. Lee; on the other, he recognized the toxic use of these symbols in contemporary society. CNN, with its relentless coverage and often polarizing narratives, forced Cash to confront these uncomfortable truths. It was as if the channel was holding a mirror to his own internal conflicts, magnifying his anxieties about the changing world.

The news on this day was all about Charlottesville.

That was quick, Cash thought to himself. I went from being an objective historian to a fascist Nazi just by sitting on my ass.

When he heard they were taking down the statue of Robert E. Lee, Cash wondered, Why bother with Robert E.? The guy is an iconic figure in American history. Why are they taking his ass down?

According to CNN, which is pretty much the truth, He ain’t no hero, Jim. He’s a goddamned racist, terrorist who waged war against the United States. In other words, he was a revolutionary who took a side and lost, as opposed to Washington, who took a side and won.

Then how do we deal with our brothers and sisters from the South who were related to terrorists, which means millions of folks? Do we tear them down too? You better believe if they show their racist, terrorist asses again like they did 150 years ago.

Don’t those assholes know that when they say the pledge of allegiance, they are saluting ONE republic INDIVISIBLE, goddamnit.

The issue with these statues isn’t just about history; it’s about how they’re being used in the present. Folks are using these statues as rallying points to rationalize their hatreds.

Cash didn’t hate anybody. Although, I suppose I hate Nazis. Does this mean I hate Nationalists? Does this mean I hate Socialists? And if I don’t HATE Nationalists and/or Socialists, does this make me a Nazi? I am not a goddamned Nazi.

All because of a statue. All because of a golden calf, y’all. Nobody told me there’d be days like these. Strange days indeed.

Who knows, pretty soon it might be dangerous to watch Gone With the Wind anymore or enjoy The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, maybe even Elvis.

Jeezuz Christ.

“Cash, turn off the TV. Dinner's ready.”

Cash headed for the table. Twenty minutes later, he would be a changed man. A gut full of chicken French kinda takes your mind off of anything other than digestion.

Yet, despite his grumblings, Cash couldn’t bring himself to turn off the TV. There was a part of him that thrived on the outrage, that needed to engage with the very things that disturbed him. It was a peculiar kind of masochism, where the discomfort of watching CNN became a weirdly satisfying ritual. He wasn’t just consuming news; he was grappling with it, wrestling with the implications, and trying to reconcile his own beliefs with the reality being broadcast to him. Cash was a man caught between eras, longing for the simplicity of the 20th century but unable to completely detach from the complexities of the 21st. His attachment to CNN, despite his disdain, was symbolic of this tension—he was a 20th-century man trying to make sense of a 21st-century world, one news segment at a time.

Although he never “served,” he knew enough to say “welcome home” to his brothers who had served in Nam. Stafford thought his “service” was all about doing whatever he could to get us the hell outta there.

All that was behind him now, and what was in front of him was his first serving of Chicken French. Both Cash and Patti knew that there were at least three more helpings available. Cash also knew that he would say no to anything other than the first helping and then go on to helpings two and three, intoxicating himself and pleasing Patti with his suddenly gargantuan appetite.

Cash wasn’t hungry before he caught a whiff of the French. When he saw it in front of him, he was famished as if he hadn’t eaten in weeks, as if last night’s banquet didn’t count.

After dinner, Cash turned CNN, and Wolf Blitzer blitzed him again.
