Patti LuPone joins Penny Dreadful
Broadway icon and two-time Tony winner Patti LuPone (Evita, Gypsy) has been making the TV rounds lately with memorable appearances on Girls and American Horror Story: Coven. According to Variety, she’ll continue that with a guest-starring role on Showtime’s Penny Dreadful, a horror show that pulls a variety of genre conventions and characters into its 19th-century setting. Details for LuPone’s “mysterious” character are being kept under wraps, but she’ll be of great importance to Eva Green’s character, Vanessa.
