A memoir of stardom over six decades from the beloved Tony-Award winning actress

Finally sharing the long-awaited story of her fascinating career, Tony-Award winning actress Kelly Bishop takes us on her journey from starring on the stage to the silver screen to our most-streamed TV shows, sharing the wisdom she's learned along the way.

Perhaps most famous for playing Emily Gilmore, the sassy matriarch of Gilmore Girls, Kelly Bishop's impressive career began as a classically-trained ballet dancer. From there, she went on to win a Tony award for her role in the original cast of A Chorus Line - and that's just the beginning. Through each pivotal moment of her life, from her professional triumphs to the hardships of marrying young to a compulsive gambler and enduring her second husband's battle with cancer and death to marching for women's rights, Kelly Bishop reflects on the highs and lows she's faced as she reinvented herself throughout her life, moving across America to tour with plays, star in beloved films like Dirty Dancing, and become a household name on popular TV shows such as Law & Order, The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel, and of course, Gilmore Girls.

Sharing never-before-told stories from throughout her career and life lessons from a rich and full life, this generous memoir is a warm unapologetic account of how Kelly Bishop's smart, fearless and versatile performances earned her enduring place in pop culture history.
