Former Ally McBeal star Calista Flockhart is the latest actress to jump into the comic book world, as Warner Bros and CBS have revealed that she will be playing Cat Grant in the prime-time drama Supergirl.
Created by Marv Wolfman and Jerry Ordway, Cat is a columnist for the Daily Planet and a sometimes love interest for Clark Kent. For this iteration, she’s described thusly: “a self-made media magnate and founder of CatCo, Cat Grant started her career as a reporter and has built her company into a global powerhouse. Kara (series star Melissa Benoist) works at CatCo as her assistant.”
Flockhart’s take on the character will be the fourth time Cat Grant has appeared on-screen, previously having been played by Tracy Scoggins in Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and Emilie Ullerup and Keri Lynn Pratt in the final two seasons of Smallville.
Good get!
If she still looks that hot, it should be interesting. I’ll watch till she gets older looking
