TV Watch: Miranda Otto on Cashmere Mafia Candice writes: I saw that Miranda Otto is a cast member on Cashmere Mafia, a new ABC drama. A sneak preview of the pilot is this Sunday 10pm ABC. Don’t know when the regular time slot will be, and not sure if you posted this info already. Thanks for all your hard work, guys, everyone @ TORN 🙂

Happy Birthday Miranda Otto! Miranda Otto (born December 16, 1967) is an Australian Film Institute-nominated and Logie Award-winning Australian actress. The daughter of actors Barry and Lindsay Otto, she began acting at age nineteen, and has performed in a variety of low-budget and major studio films. Her first major film appearance was in the 1986 film Emma’s War, in which she played a teenager who moves to Australia’s bush country during World War II. After a decade of critically acclaimed roles in Australian films, she gained Hollywood’s attention after appearing in supporting roles in The Thin Red Line (1998) and What Lies Beneath (2000). Her breakthrough role was in 2002, when her character Éowyn was introduced to audiences in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Jonotrek writes: Since I let you know about Miranda Otto co-starring in a new television series back in back I wanted to update you with new information. ABC-TV announced on Wednesday Cashmere Mafia will premiere the first week of December. Note that there will be a special preview of the show that follows the Dancing with the Stars finale and airs the week after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday (which is good because the actual week of Thanksgiving normally is one of the lowest rated weeks all year).

Jonotrek sends along word that our own Miranda Otto has joined Lucy Liu and Frances O’Connor in the new ABC show ‘Cashmere Mafia’: Four ambitious and sexy women, who’ve been best friends since business school, try to balance their glamorous and demanding careers with their complex personal lives in the city that never sleeps. They’ve created their own “boys club” to protect each other and discuss their ups and downs as they try to have it all. What good is it to break the glass ceiling without girlfriends to share in your success? “Cashmere Mafia” will premiere after “Dancing with the Stars” and “The Bachelor” conclude their fall seasons.
