“Working with Kelly Bishop was a lifesaver. She played Lorelai’s mother on Gilmore Girls and was Sheila in the original Broadway production of A Chorus Line. She is a broad through and through – and she taught me how to navigate this new world. ‘Don’t focus on learning the entire script,’ she advised early on. ‘Prep for what you need to do three days ahead. Learn it in little chunks. And when you’re done filming a scene, let it go and move on.”
