Jackie, You're Hired!
Jackie O has a co-starring role on the Freddie Prinz, Jr. pilot for ABC. The pilot, which tapes with an audience on Sunday, April 17 at Warner Bros. Studios, centers on Prinz, a Chicago chef, having his sister, Jackie, and her 13 year old daughter move in with him. Also, living with him are some other female family members - Grandmother and ex-sister-in-law.
Jackie's character of Sofia was described in the casting notice as a beautiful 1/2 Puerto Rican and 1/2 Italian woman who is recently divorced and now attending medical school. A smart but slightly geeky teenager, she has grown up to be a pretty, smart and slightly geeky adult. Behind the curve for her age, she had a baby at 17 with her college professor, but they out grew their student-mentor relationship and ended the marriage. Not comfortable with her good looks, she prizes brains over beauty for herself and her young daughter, Zoey. Her relationship with Freddie is complicated. An opinionated sort, she tries to mother Freddie, but now that he's a success, at least in business, he doesn't appreciate her efforts to boss him."
The pilot has been all but been given the green light for the fall line-up on ABC. It is produced and directed by the former Drew Carey Show producers and The George Lopez Show staff.
Go Jackie Go!

Hey girl,
Keep up the great work. I'm loving the info you're coming up with. I just wish Dennis "DA MAN" Franz would come out of hiding so you can get the scoop on what he's up to these days. Good luck to all the Blue alum in their new projects. Especially Charlotte Ross, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that her new show gets picked up.
