Can Albright score diplomatic coup on WB's `Gilmore Girls'?
Published October 18, 2005
"Gilmore Girls," the only TV show to have featured both literary giant Norman Mailer and Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach as guest stars, is adding another feather to its casting cap, Zap2it.com reports.
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright will make a cameo appearance on the WB show Oct. 25. Playing herself, Albright will offer some advice to Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel), who's about to celebrate her 21st birthday but is estranged from mom Lorelai (Lauren Graham).
"I am a big fan of `Gilmore Girls' and I had a great time," says Albright, who filmed her appearance late last month. "It was an opportunity to do something different for a quick minute, and I learned how hard it is to memorize those lines."
"Gilmore Girls" creator Amy Sherman-Palladino has long said Albright would be a dream guest star for the show.
Mailer appeared as himself last season, and Bach has a recurring part as a member of Lane's (Keiko Agena) band. Past episodes have also featured guest spots by singer Carole King (who also sings the show's theme song) and porn star-turned-actress Traci Lords.
