Kelly Bishop Reflects on Edward Herrmann's Legacy

Kelly Bishop fondly reminisced about her late co-star Edward Herrmann in a recent interview, highlighting their bond during the filming of Gilmore Girls. She expressed how difficult it was to shoot the show's revival without him, stating, 'It was hard... He was our guy.' Bishop revealed that they shared a love for completing the New York Times crossword puzzle, which further strengthened their connection. In her memoir, she recounted the shock of learning about Herrmann's terminal brain cancer through a newspaper article shortly before his passing in 2014. Despite their close working relationship, distance had developed between them before she received the news, which left her feeling devastated. The enduring legacy of their characters, Richard and Emily Gilmore, illustrates themes of love, family, and generational dynamics throughout the series.
