Kelly Bishop recalls learning Gilmore Girls costar Edward Herrmann had cancer from newspaper: 'Don't let this be true'

Kelly Bishop and Edward Herrmann costarred on 'Gilmore Girls' for eight years. But Bishop reveals in her memoir that she only learned of Herrmann's cancer diagnosis from the paper, weeks before his death.

"I knew I'd regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't summon up the courage to get past all those tubes and beeping monitors and focus on the fact that this was Ed lying there," Bishop recalls. That season saw the dramatic departure of Amy Sherman-Palladino and co-creator/writer/husband Daniel Palladino, which led to a steep decline in quality in the eyes of many fans.
