You know how it seems that every british actor or actress will eventually show up in one of the Harry Potter movies? Well, eventually every working actress in Hollywood will be cast in this movie. Bette Midler, Carrie Fisher, Cloris Leachman, Lynn Whitfield, Joanna Gleason, Ana Gasteyer, and Debi Mazar have joined The Women, the Diane English-directed remake of the 1939 comedy. The actresses join already-cast Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and Candice Bergen, who play friends who discover that one of them is being cheated on by her husband. The movie has an entirely female cast, as did the George Cukor-directed original.
