According to Louis B. Hobson with the Edmonton Sun:
Brad Pitt has a leading lady for his Jesse James movie.
Mary Louise Parker has been cast as Zee James, the outlaw's wife in The Assassination of Jesse James.
Filming begins on the duster in the Calgary area on Monday, so Parker is expected to arrive in the city later this week. Production is tentatively set to move to Edmonton Sept. 5.
Parker joins Pitt and Casey Affleck, who plays Robert Ford, the man who shot James. Director Andrew Dominik is expected to announce the casting for the remainder of the Jesse James gang within the next couple of days.
Parker, 41, was nominated for a Tony Award in 1990 for her Broadway debut in Prelude to a Kiss. She won the Tony a decade later for her performance in Proof.
Parker earned an Emmy in 2004 for her performance in Angels in America, in the role she originated on Broadway.
Parker made her feature film debut in 1990's Longtime Companion. Other credits include Grand Canyon, Red Dragon and Fried Green Tomatoes.
