The “iron-willed matriarch of television” title undoubtedly goes to the classy Hartford, Connecticut socialite Emily Gilmore.
It’s even part of her memoir’s title: “The Third Gilmore Girl.”
Since the beloved comedy-drama ended in 2007, Bishop has not slowed down.
“I was delighted,” she toldEntertainment Weeklyof when creator Michael Bennett’s idea for the show.
“But I thought, ‘I had no idea I was that interesting.'”
Since then, she has dug her heels into an absolute spot in the celebrity actor world.
Emily Gilmore was no different!
“It seems I’m stuck with that.
I am a bit bossy in real life.
The straight-laced Emily Gilmore came back with one subtle change, her sailor’s tongue.
So Emily’s use of words, like “bulls**t” at a D.A.R.
meeting, just adds to her multifaceted personality.
Besides “Gilmore Girls,” Bishop is constantly in touch with Sherman-Palladino about new projects.
That was one of the best things about him,” Bishop said.
“I’m hoping we get it back.”
So beyond, actually, that she landed all the way on the East Coast in New Jersey.
Bishop told the outlet about her “rather quiet life” in her small corner of New Jersey.
“I am now a Jersey girl,” she quipped.
Bishop compares her small town to Stars Hollow in “Gilmore Girls.”
Though Bishop is content with the quiet life, there’s no sign of her slowing down.
Or even travel back to Stars Hollow to revive the wonderful Emily Gilmore.
Here’s to hoping.
