I thoroughly enjoyed each second I spent listening to this audiobook.
I find Kelly to be the force of nature I'd always pictured her to be. Hearing her desires and struggles, and how graciously she accepts life and its circumstances was such an inspiration.

In Kelly Bishop‘s memoir, she shares how she went from her childhood in ballet to Broadway and iconic roles in A Chorus Line, Gilmore Girls and Dirty Dancing. This book isn‘t really gossipy at all — the biggest controversy might be her take on which boyfriend was right for Rory! — but I enjoyed it. I especially liked how she shared her relationships with her second husband and with her Gilmore TV family. I was excited to see her on her book tour.

I had no idea she had done so much! No prizes for the writing, but felt honest.

This was very engaging, quick and a bit surface level but an interesting look at Bishop's life. I appreciate her general attitude about being in the entertainment industry. She is the perfect balance of confident and gracious. She worked incredibly hard and both appreciates and enjoys her life. Her poor husband, I didn't know who Lee Leonard was before this, his health struggles were incredibly sad. Now off to watch some GG

I really enjoyed listening to Kelly Bishop tell me about her life. The majority of this is her time before Gilmore Girls, but it was delightful to get a look inside her life.

This was lovely - I‘m a hard core GG fan, and was so interested in learning about Kelly‘s life! I had (incorrectly) assumed that GG was her “big” role, but she has truly done it all! (45)
⭐️: 3.5/5
