Academy Award nominee Barbara Hershey has landed a mother of a role on ABC’s Once Upon a Time, as the very woman who brought the Evil Queen into this world — or, to be more precise, into the fairytale world.
Hershey, who is also an Emmy and Golden Globe winner for her role in the 1990 TV-movie A Killing in a Small Town, will first appear as the queen’s mum, Cora, later this season, with the option of also having a short arc in Season 2 (if/when the fantastical drama conjures up a renewal this spring).
Hershey’s Oscar nod came for her supporting role in 1996′s The Portrait of a Lady. Much more recently, she has appeared on the big screen in Black Swan (where she played Natalie Portman’s mother) and last spring’s horror-thriller Insidious. Her long film resume also includes The Last Temptation of Christ (as Mary Magdalene), Hannah and Her Sisters and Beaches, to name but a few.
The actress’ most recent TV credits include a 2010 installment of the British series Agatha Christie’s Poirot and the short-lived WB family drama The Mountain.
^^Just because he doesn't know he's married to Snow doesn't change the fact that he IS married to her and not Kathryn. So technically, he IS cheating when with Kathryn. It's unfortunate that he doesn't know and therefore thinks he is cheating with Mary Margaret--it'll be a lot of unnecessary guilt for them. I think the FACTS of the situation mean more than just what David thinks is going on, because he said himself it feels like he's had two lifetimes, one with each woman--somewhere, DEEP down, a part of him recognizes his fidelity lies with Snow aka Mary Margaret, his real wife, despite his fake memories of Kathryn. He's unconciously following the truth of the situation, not the "truth" that the curse has forced onto him. But, again, I trust it will all work out in the end. I agree with LUXXX--it's the change-ups like this that add some interest to the concept of the show.
-The ending was very interesting! Belle is in Storybrooke and is being held in the hospital in a padded cell by the mayor (aka Evil Queen). I wonder what will happen if Mr.Gold finds out. I hope that it will mean a continuation of Belle's storyline.
I can't wait for next weeks episode.
