Any one else here after listening to Kelly Bishops memoir: The third Gilmore girl? The audio book is read by her and hearing her tell her life story in her own words is just phenomenal! She has had such an exciting and interesting life!
Before I ever learned of her Broadway career I worshiped her as Emily Gilmore on the Gilmore Girls. She played a very complex character to the hilt! Outstanding performer.Bravo!
Currently listening to her audio book “The Third Gilmore Girl” (she narrates). It’s fabulous! What a life! Also bought the physical book, but when I saw she narrated her audio book, I couldn’t say no. Next I’ll have to rewatch A Chorus Line (why didn’t they cast her in the movie???).
Kelly was Shelia. She played that part so wonderfully at times I wasn't sure if it was the character speaking. I think Priscilla was great, but Kelly earned it big time.
I had the privilege of seeing Bebe Neuwirth play Sheila when the touring company came to Philadelphia in 1977. It was years later when I was thumbing through my Playbills that I saw Bebe's name listed as playing Sheila, and I'd become familiar with her through "Cheers". Her performance in Chorus Line stood out because of her ability to invoke dry humor and have it come across as hysterically funny. Bebe makes you want to keep a straight face with her yet burst out laughing at the same time. Miss those days when theatrics were organic, revered and appreciated.
I have a printout of an article from the NY Times right before the '76 Tonys where they discuss how they became such good friends and that it was hard. That's human, but Priscilla Lopez is a lovely and gracious person, and I believe her when she says she was truly happy for her. Who wouldn't want to win it for themselves? I believe she may have been momentarily disappointed - who wouldn't? But she was happy for her.
She said that she had to learn to dance w Edward Hermann for the vow renewal on GG because she's not a ballroom dancer and not used to someone leading. I'm sure she was being humble.
@@beannamated omg i can’t believe your comment is 16 years old..😂 but they did have her sing at Rory’s graduation party in the end and it was horrible so I think it was never in the cards for them to make her a performer lol. Too much fun not enough serious for Emily😂
HEY! Did anyone notice, that Patti and Robert LuPone were nominated the same year?!?! They were like the Hunter and Sutton Foster of the 70's! LOL!!! ahahhaha!!
How about Chita Rivera NOT clapping during nominees named BUT...then she did as Gwen Verdon was announced and then how miserable Chita looked for that split second when Donna's name was called 4 Best Actress! I luv shit like this.
Now, I may be Drunk at 3 PM, but Patti LuPone looks a lot like Ann Reinking here. Was she accepting the award for an unavailable LuPone this year? Edit" THAT'S BOB FUCKING FOSSE NEXT TO HER! IT HAS TO BE REINKING !!!
I'm here because of Kelly Bishops new memoir: The third Gilmore Girl
Same!! 😃
Me too
18 years after it was posted!
same ❤
Me too
The scene where Richard Gilmore said “when you showed up to my fraternity party in that blue dress, I had no choice” it just reminds me of this video
🏆
And the fact that Ed Herrmann was at this awards ceremony makes it even better.

I agree! Sometimes you hear a speech that doesn't really "age" and this one is so perfect and timeless!
so true
can't believe this is emily gilmore...man she was so young and beautiful. still is gorgeous
her speech was perfect, she didn't rambel on thanking every person one by one, she was short and sweet with humor:D i love her, she's the greatest!
She is one of those lucky women who has grown into her looks and has gotten better looking as she has gotten older.
Had to come watch after reading The Third Gilmore Girl: a memoir!!! ❤️ she’s absolutely tremendous!!
What a beautiful and classy lady!
And her speech was perfect: short, touching, and funny
She definately deserved that award
I bet Lorelei didn't show up
Why do you have to violate her like dat
She won over Pattie LaPone.
Bless her!!!
Bless Emily Gilmore, what she did for love.

@@jdawg1371 oh, wow! Love Bebe and would have loved to see her in ACL! She's spectacular and very kind.
@@jdawg1371don’t mind me here, just a millennial baby, jealous that she hadn’t been born yet when A chorus line was on 😢
Such a beauty! Her blue 💙 dress was utterly divine.
wonderful performer......i worked with her on gilmore girls, tv...very classy lady....jack english ,actor/singer ...beverly hills, calif....
What did you do on the show?
WHAT DID YOU DO ON THE SHOW!?
This video being posted 18 years ago is hurting my brain
That’s right. 1976 was 18 years ago. Don’t you dare say otherwise 😅
Why am I crying?
I get that way with anything about ACL original. I saw it as a teen. My first Bway show. Still my all time favorite.
I remember watching this.. I was 6 yrs old. It was the moment i fell in love with musicals and made me want to perform
patti luPone, the robber bridegroom :cuts to ann reinking who is laughing with bob fosse:.
What a class act💯
oh she's gorgeous. always classy!!
She's so adorable!

Stunning 😍

Fabulous Kelly, just fabulous-
Congrats. Thankyou for sharing,

she looked like Marion Cotillard back then
She is SIZZLING HOT in Dirty Dancing! Great shoulders, face & hair! Never knew she was such a Babe!
Sizzling??? When, where?
LOVE HER!
lol GO GO Grandma yes she is my real Grandmother she is my mothers Step Mom so Blah
She looks so gorgeous!
Ann Reinking, one of the most gorgeous women of american entertainement ever.
omg no way! You would never have known. omg they should totally have her sing or dance or something on Gilmore girls. I love A chorus Line!
She said that she had to learn to dance w Edward Hermann for the vow renewal on GG because she's not a ballroom dancer and not used to someone leading. I'm sure she was being humble.

This is how you give an acceptance speech - succinct, gracious and witty!
I think the cameraman had the hots for Ann Reinking. lol
DIVINE
That moment when Patti Lupone is overshadowed by her brother.
Never again.
Her brother was in ACL..? I never made the connection.
Love her!! "Emily!"
This was uploaded when Gilmor Girls was still airing. Feels crazy
HEY! Did anyone notice, that Patti and Robert LuPone were nominated the same year?!?! They were like the Hunter and Sutton Foster of the 70's! LOL!!! ahahhaha!!
That walk! Sheila's haughty walk. I can see it in Emily Gilmore several times.
holey cow.. I found it the moment that made me want to sing dance and act
Her voice is so much deeper than in the show
Patti Lupone? But why was Ann Reinkein in the 3rd shot?
They did the same thing showing Sondheim for someone else
I believe Patti was still touring with the Acting Company (after Julliard) at this time. She probably was away.
That's Emily Gilmore from Gilmore Girls
That was an cameraman accident!
Emily Gilmore FTWin! Seriously, there was no Emily here, but what a funny and classy lady.
Patti LuPone sure looks like Ann Reinking
She was touring with the Acting Company at the time, couldn't make it.
OOooooooo priscilla looks pissseedddd.
So happy that Kelly Bishop won. She deserved it.
How about Chita Rivera NOT clapping during nominees named BUT...then she did as Gwen Verdon was announced and then how miserable Chita looked for that split second when Donna's name was called 4 Best Actress! I luv shit like this.
Atractiva señora,su hija "lorelai", contaba con 4 añitos.
lol yeah i noticed that that wasn't patti lupone....LOL i was like what?? that's not her! lol
so did billy porter quote her in his speech or
She sounds so different lol
LOL. I was like, "WTF?"
Thanks for all of these, markmole. Any chance you have Sammy Williams winning Best supporting actor?
Is it just me or does she kind of look like Lorelai here?
how did you work with her on gilmore girls?
I believe her husband died last year. Does anyone know?
don't you think its kind of fucked up, that even thou priscilla didn't won, the played her chorus line in the background, insted of kelly's.
Good catch. Kelly's song didn't become a well known hit as Priscilla's did and still is.
wonder what gwen verdon might have felt about those two
more more more....how about Sammy Williams winning too??? :)
Over Patti and Priscilla! What a queen
Now, I may be Drunk at 3 PM, but Patti LuPone looks a lot like Ann Reinking here. Was she accepting the award for an unavailable LuPone this year?
Edit" THAT'S BOB FUCKING FOSSE NEXT TO HER! IT HAS TO BE REINKING !!!
0:20 Miss Priscilla Lopez forgot to do her gracious loser face lol...
Really? You think Diana's the better part? To each his own, I guess.
Priscilla should've won! She had a much better part and her performance was astonish.
Definitely a difficult choice.
