Mary Tyler Moore Enters "Lipstick Jungle"

Mary Tyler Moore will join Brooke Shields, Kim Raver and Lindsay Price in the second season of NBC’s comedy-drama “Lipstick Jungle” this fall.

The veteran actress will portray Joyce, described by the Hollywood Reporter as a retired high-powered executive and the mother of Wendy Healy, Brooke Shields’ character.

Moore is set to enter the jungle in the Sept. 24 season premiere. The actress said in a statement she feels “fortunate” to have had “a front row seat to the evolution of working women on television” and that as she “absolutely adores Brooke,” she is “delighted” to join the show.

Moore also praised the writers.

The show is based on Candace Bushnell’s best-selling novel of the same name. Bushnell, who rose to fame through “Sex and the City,” is also executive producer alongside Oliver Goldstick.

The series also stars Kim Raver as the editor-in-chief of a successful fashion magazine, and Lindsay Price as a designer. Shields’ character is a movie exec. The three are close friends who try to balance their professional lives with their personal.

The show has seen modest ratings and inevitable comparisons with Bushnell’s career defining “Sex and the City” series as well as Darren Starr’s short-lived “Cashmere Mafia,” which ran on ABC earlier this year.

Also starring are Andrew McCarthy, Julian Sands, David Alan Basche, David Norona , Paul Blackthorne and Robert Buckley.

Mary Tyler Moore is best known for starring in “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” which earned 29 Emmys during its seven-year run in the 1970s.

Moore also received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for 1980’s “Ordinary People,” Robert Redford’s directorial debut. While she did not receive the golden statuette, she did receive the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress that year.
