Cybill Shepherd joins “Drop Dead Diva”

Cybill Shepherd has landed a guest role in American comedy-drama “Drop Dead Diva”. The actress will play a dragon lady fashionista called Ellie Tannen in a July episode of the show, TV Guide magazine reports.

Shepherd’s character will reportedly hire Jane (Brooke Elliott) to stop a former employee writing a book about her.

In the script, Stacy (April Bowlby) allegedly says: “If Anna Wintour, Leona Helmsely and the dragon from Shrek had a baby, it would be nicer than Ellie.”

Drop Dead Diva returns for its second season in the US on June 6. The first season continues in the UK on Thursdays at 8pm on Living.

_____________________________________
Drop Dead Diva is an American comedy-drama/fantasy television series that debuted on Lifetime on July 12, 2009. The hour-long series, which was created by Josh Berman, is produced by Sony Pictures Television. The show airs on Showcase in Canada and on Living in the UK.

The series revolves around vapid blonde and aspiring model, Deb Dobson (played by Brooke D’Orsay in the pilot and in flashbacks), who is killed in a car crash. As her soul enters the gates of Heaven, she finds herself declared a self-centered “zero” (meaning she has performed zero good deeds and zero bad deeds during her time on earth; she is simply shallow) by the gatekeeper Fred. After not liking what she hears, she presses for a return to her former body, hoping to get back to Earth. Deb gets her wish, only to be brought back to life in the body of a recently deceased, intelligent, overweight lawyer named Jane Bingum. Initially horrified, Deb – in her new human form – discovers the meaning of inner beauty as she finds the ability to juggle legal cases, aided by her assistant Terri, while attempting to reconnect incognito with her still-grieving boyfriend, Grayson Kent, who just started working at Jane’s law firm. At the same time, Deb begins to rediscover her past while learning more about her inherited body’s current life and how Jane was treated when she was alive. In addition to former gatekeeper Fred (who was demoted to guardian angel and had been assigned to watch over her at the law firm), only Deb’s long-time mortal friend Stacy knows Jane’s true identity.
