Bringing this over from Nadine's LJ:
Quote:
Bishop remembers Walsh
Kelly Bishop, who played the tough-talking Sheila in the original production of "A Chorus Line," came to Auburn Friday to celebrate the life of fellow Broadway cast member Thommie Walsh, who died there June 16.
Bishop described herself, Walsh and Priscilla Lopez as a triad who worked and played hearty during their time in the landmark show.
But for the last six years, she has been playing the starchy, patrician Emily Gilmore, mother of Lorelai on TV's "Gilmore Girls." In a brief offstage conversation, she said their off-screen bond was closer than the on-screen connection, where constant friction was the norm between Emily and Lorelai. "She (Lauren Graham) was truly my daughter," says Bishop.
Bishop also says she has great respect for Graham, putting her in the same acting pantheon as Cate Blanchett.
