Pilot Season: ABC orders Shonda Rhimes' period drama pilot

Written by KJ Steinberg (Gossip Girl, The Nine) and set in 1895, Lillys follows the opening of the first true luxury hotel built in New York City, along with the Lily family who owns it, the staff who work there and those who stay there.

Danner will play Caroline, the ruthless and wickedly funny widowed grandmother. Bolger will play Violet, the virginal, beautiful and rebellious daughter who has a devoted personal maid Abigail (Zima).

Good for her it seems that alot of Irish, Scottish, Welsh and English actors are going over to Hollywood to do tv. Shame that we don't have much of a tv and film industry in N.Ireland and the UK.

BTW - i loved her as Mary Tudor in the Tudors.
