| Posted
on Tuesday, January 15, 2008 - 04:14 PM |
In her first lead role in a television series, Glenn Close stars as a charismatic but cunning litigator in Damages. At last night’s Golden Globe® Awards, Close was named Best Actress for her portrayal of the sinister Patty Hewes. This simmering character-driven one-hour drama series intersects high-stakes litigation, an intricately plotted murder mystery, and the personal lives of those involved. Showcase is planning a promotional push in order to launch the critically acclaimed legal thriller in style. The twist-filled series will premiere on Showcase on February 18 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. When Damages premiered on FX on July 24, it ranked as the #1 program of the night on basic cable.
