An Australian Woman in TV Boston

I recently read somewhere that Aussie actress Jacki Weaver had said – in recognition of her second Oscar nomination in like, three years (her supporting turn in Silver Linings Playbook is up for gold this season; she was previously nominated for 2010’s Animal Kingdom) – that she is amazed by how welcoming the United States have been to her.

And since the golden lady is here to stay, she’s gonna do TV.

Smart! That way she can keep going for edgy, buzzy parts while keeping a steady income.

Weaver has signed on to headline a new single camera comedy for CBS titled The McCarthys, playing the no-filter matriarch of a sports-obsessed Boston family.

If you saw the woman in Silver Linings Playbook then you know you have cause for excitement.
