The Reader's Drop Inn

Important question. Were you a Gilmore Girls fan?

Now I’ll admit it hasn’t aged well, but it is somewhat of a pop culture phenomenon, and yes, I loved it too back when it first aired.

…and now I’m reading Kelly Bishop’s (aka THE Emily Gilmore) autobiography, The Third Gilmore Girl.

Listening to the audiobook that is because she reads it herself. (Thank you, Libby!)

And you know what she admits? That she has mild dyslexia.

THE Kelly Bishop who has lived an INCREDIBLE life with roles in A Chorus Line (a part literally written for her), Dirty Dancing and of course Gilmore Girls is dyslexic.

And I’m the forward, Amy Sherman-Palladino (creator/writer of GG) admits that Kelly Bishop made Gilmore Girls what it was (is).

She even went so far as to write a show (Bunheads, anyone else ever see that? Just 1 season on ABC family I think, probably in the early ‘00’s?) especially for her.

Moral of the story: just because you or your kid is dyslexic doesn’t mean they (or you) can’t do anything and everything.

Also, do yourself a favor and listen to the audiobook of The Third Gilmore Girl.

Now I’d love to know…What’s your favorite autobiography?
