Hello –
Wanted to gauge your interest in speaking with Joanna Cassidy (“Six Feet Under”) who stars in Bravo’s new scripted comedy “Odd Mom Out” (airs Mondays at 10pm ET/PT). Cassidy stars as Jill’s mother-in-law, the status-obsessed family matriarch, Candace, and is available to chat about the hilarious new series and what to expect on the upcoming episodes.
The 10 episode half-hour comedy, “Odd Mom Out,” stars acclaimed author Jill Kargman playing a satirical version of herself as she navigates the treacherous and elite ecosystem of New York’s Upper East Side, and the uber-wealthy mommy clique inhabiting this fantastically outrageous domain. A New Yorker through and through, Jill Weber (Kargman) embraces her quirky and somewhat unconventional life with her loving husband, Andy (Andy Buckley, “The Office”) and three great kids. Jill’s frenemies and in-laws only fuel the pressure for her to conform, including the status-obsessed family matriarch, Candace (Joanna Cassidy, “Six Feet Under”), brother-in-law Lex (Sean Kleier, “Madam Secretary”), his wife, Brooke (Abby Elliott, “Saturday Night Live”), who reigns over a group of quintessential Upper East Side mombots with an iron credit card.

Please let me know if you are interested in speaking with Joanna, and if you have any questions.
Best,
Emily
JOANNA CASSIDY (Candace Weber)
Joanna Cassidy won critical acclaim and an Emmy nomination, as well as the coveted Golden Globe Award for her co-starring role as JoJo White, with Dabney Coleman, in the 1983 NBC series “Buffalo Bill.” She then took on her most memorable and classic role as Zhora, the exotic snake dancer replicant, in “Blade Runner.” She also inhabited the iconic role of Dolores in the groundbreaking live-action/animated film “Who Framed Roger Rabbit.” Cassidy received an Emmy nomination for her role as Margaret Chenowith, the provocative psychiatrist and mother of troubled Brenda (Rachel Griffiths) and Billy (Jeremy Sisto), on “Six Feet Under.” Recently, Cassidy played the role of Dana Delaney’s mother and savvy judge in “Body of Proof”; she just wrapped “Too Late” opposite Oscar-nominated John Hawkes and completed the Blumhouse feature “Visions” opposite Isla Fisher, Jim Parsons and Eva Longoria.
