Adding another feather to a cap that, frankly, was pretty well-feathered to begin with, ABC has announced that two-time Oscar-winner Sally Field will join the cast of its new fall drama, “Brothers and Sisters.” The show already boasts such high-profile talent as former “Ally McBeal” star Calista Flockhart and former “Six Feet Under” star Rachel Griffiths, not to mention out-of-work “Alias” cast members Ron Rifkin and Balthazar Getty.
Field bumps former “Eight is Enough” star Betty Buckley from the coveted family matriarch role…though Buckley still appears in the show’s publicity photo on ABC’s web site. Click here to view a (Field-free) preview for the show.
