  Is Kelly Bishop secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Kelly Bishop is celebrating her 82nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress-dancer Kelly Bishop (Gilmore Girls, Dirty Dancing, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 82nd birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Bishop, a cultural icon

Born Carole Bishop in Colorado Springs on February 28, 1944, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Bishop's not just a great actress, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Kelly hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Kelly Bishop as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 82.

Happy Birthday, Kelly, you're the best!
