Kelly Bishop to Release 'The Third Gilmore Girl' Memoir This Fall; Will Explore A CHORUS LINE Role & GILMORE GIRLS (broadwayworld.com)

People reports that Simon & Schuster's Gallery Books will be releasing the title on September 17. It is set to follow the beginning of her career on Broadway to her beloved role as Emily Gilmore on Gilmore Girls.

"From my first steps onto a Broadway stage, to the town of Stars Hollow, I am excited to take my fans along with me through the story of my life,” Bishop says.

After dancing in Broadway musicals like Golden Rainbow, On the Town, and Promises, Promises, she won a Tony Award for originating the role of Sheila Bryant in A Chorus Line. Much of the role was based on her life, which will be explored in the upcoming book.

The book will be a “rich, genuine celebration” of Bishop’s life, also reflecting upon her marriages, the loss of her second husband to cancer, and the moments in her career that shaped her.
