Marilyn Rudolph (Kirstin Pierce)
The new casting choice for Studio 60, Kirstin Pierce the either minor or recurring role of Jack's wife Marilyn, has already ellicted some controversey. Pierce's acting credits, according to IMDb, include Forbidden Sins, Mistress of Seduction, The Seductress, Burning Desires, and a movie she both wrote and produced as well as acted in called All My Sins Remembered.The obvious controversey is that Sorkin and Schlamme have cast someone who's obvious background is the world of adult film, and some people think this may bely S&S's talent at hiring qualified, talented, funny but not-as-vavoom-ish actresses (Felicity Huffman and Allison Janney to name the two obvious.)
My personal opinion is that any concern over Pierce is entirely unjustified, unless any of us have seen her in these roles. S&S have a habit of not hiring bad people and I see no reason why they'd start now, plus its my impression we're not going to see a whole lot of Jack's homelife.

Haha, I wasn't claiming it was huge controversey. When the show is barely in production, I take any news story I can get. This was really just my way of announcing her casting, and to talk about the only thing it seems anyone's talking about with regards to her.
Funny, I knew Kirstin back in college, she was my sorority sister at Butler (go Phis!) and even our Rush Director one year... she was a very cool chick, lots of fun. I can't remember if she was a theater major or a dance major, but I remember she had star quality even way back then. Knowing Kirstin, I'd say whatever racy films she's done -- and I don't believe they've been adult films, just raunchy low budgets -- don't say much about what she's really capable of.
