Could it be that DOLLHOUSE has found its matriarch?

That's right ... OLIVIA WILLIAMS!

A couple of interesting tidbits emanating from the casting world this morning, courtesy of some very secretive sources.

First up, I am hearing that an offer is out to British actress Olivia Williams (Miss Austen Regrets, Rushmore) to play the role of Adele DeWitt in FOX's upcoming Joss Whedon drama Dollhouse.

Adele is described as "40-something, beautiful, sophisticated, cold as an Alp. Runs the Dollhouse with an efficiency that is both ruthless and protective. Would die before she showed anyone how lonely she is."

She's not Polly Walker the Brit I had in mind, but if it's true I would be beyond thrilled with the casting.

When I was ruminating over who I'd like to see in the role, I never even thought of her. But, the more I think about it the more I think she's kind of perfect for it!

Here's hoping this one checks out!
