Shhh, Don't Speak: Dianne Wiest Cast in FOX Comedy

Emily Gilmore, prepare to meet your successor.

FOX has announced that it has cast Dianne Wiest in a recurring role on Amy Sherman Palladino's midseason comedy The Return of Jezebel James.

What's that? Dianne Wiest in a weekly comedy? Yep.

Wiest will play Talia, the mother of children's book editor Sarah Tompkins (Parker Posey) and bohemian sister Coco (Lauren Ambrose).

Wiest is best known for her roles in such films as Hannah and Her Sisters, Bullets Over Broadway, Edward Scissorhands, and The Birdcage (among many, many others).
While I really hope that the series has been majorly reworked before its midseason launch (you can read my review of the pilot here), I'm still a little curious to see what Sherman-Palladino does with her troika of indie stars in a multi-camera environment...
