Calista Flockhart, that real skinny chick that starred in Ally McBeal series back in the day has been cast in the CBS series Supergirl. Flockhart is set to play the role of Cat Grant.
Flockhart’s character Cat Grant will be an ex-gossip columnist of The Daily Planet (the paper where Clark Kent and Lois Lane work). Grant however becomes a “self-made media magnate” by becoming a leader of a global media powerhouse called CatCo. Sounds like Murdock teritory. And that can never be good.
She will star alongside Melissa Benoist, who is set to play Kara Zor-El / Supergirl, Laura Benanti as Alura Zor-El and Mehcad Brooks as Jimmy Olsen in the Supergirl series
