“ER” star gets busy
Braving the wicked heat out on the Ritz lawn, Woodside’s Linda Cardellini confided that her “ER” character nurse Sam is getting a new love interest.
“I don’t know who it is yet, but I’m excited,” says Cardellini, who looked pretty cool despite the oven-blast heat. Maybe that’s because she spent some time this year in Santa Fe, New Mexico filming a new CBS miniseries “Comanche Moon.”
The movie, one of the few original TV movies being produced this season, is a prequel to “Lonesome Dove” and chronicles the early romance of Gus, played by Steve Zahn in the Robert Duvall role and Clara, played by Cardellini in the Anjelica Huston role.
“It combined everything I love: horses, good script and great actors,” says Cardellini, who also had a role in the groundbreaking movie “Brokeback Mountain.”
