Is Kelly Bishop Moving to Manhattan?
Nah, that’s just the rumor mill at work. The Gilmore Girls‘ Kelly Bishop will not be making the leap to Gossip Girl.
The reason for the speculation had a lot to do with the description of Serena’s grandmother. More info after the jump (a little bit spoiler-ish so don’t read on if you don’t want to know).
The audition notes for the role read:
Celia Rhodes: 58-68. Serena’s grandmother & Lily’s mother. A larger than life character, wealthy, manipulative woman who clings to the traditions - Debutante Balls, etc… of her rarefied class.
The character of Celia makes her debut in Episode 9, tying in with the Debutante Ball.
The identity of the actress is yet to be announced. Is it just me or wouldn’t Lauren Bacall be awesome? I know that she’s older than 68 but:
1, she doesn’t look it; and
2, she’s a household name (Josh Schwartz, can you say “ratings bonanza” for an older demographic).
