“Gilmore Girls” actress Kelly Bishop reflects on beloved show, her complicated character and more
Known for playing matriarch Emily Gilmore for seven seasons of “Gilmore Girls,” Kelly Bishop spoke with “CBS Mornings” about the beloved show, her controversial character and how she coped after the death of her husband.
“I loved the role. I loved the writing,” Bishop said of the show. She says that because women “were taught to be good little girls, be ladies,” some actors find it difficult to play someone who isn’t. “I see it occasionally, they’re playing a rough character, but they pull back a little bit because you don’t want to make her too mean — and I’m going, ‘No, no, no, bam! I love it.'”
Although Bishop said she loves to portray complicated characters, she added she could never be friends with Emily.
