Kelly Bishop's 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. It is probably her role as matriarch Emily in the modern classic Gilmore Girls that cemented her legacy.

Now, Bishop shares her greatest stories and life lessons learned: from her early transition from dance to drama, to marrying a compulsive gambler, to the losses and achievements she experienced - among them marching for women's rights and losing her second husband to cancer.
