Sigourney Weaves Her Way into TV

And, here I thought Sigourney Weaver was going to do ubiquitous supporting work in films for the rest of her life.  Taking a cue from Glenn Close's cable-TV turn on Damages, Weaver is putting in some time on the smaller screen in a new show called Political Animals.  She'll play a divorced former first lady who becomes Secretary of State.  I suppose the "divorced" portion is supposed to stand in for the thinly veiled part describing a person that sounds an awful lot like Hillary Clinton.  From what I understand, she forms an alliance with an enemy from the media (played by Carla Gugino who has been tooling around Hollywood for years and seems to have gotten a choice role) and I can't imagine her character has gotten to where she has in life baking cookies.  When I first saw the poster at The Grove, I wasn't sure it was Weaver.  And, then I thought she had joined the cast of Sons of Anarchy.  Series premieres July 15th on USA, U-S-A!

Get away from her, you bitch!
