Jennifer Love Hewitt has appointed former Sony Pictures TV executive Jeanie Bradley as head of development and production for her company Fedora Films. The position had been vacant for a while as Hewitt had been looking for the right person.
Fedora Films has a first-look deal with Lifetime for series and TV movies, which was made in conjunction with Hewitt’s pact to star in and produce the network’s upcoming The Client List; the series is based on the 2010 Lifetime movie toplined by the Ghost Whisperer alumna.
Last season, Fedora sold two half-hour projects, Love Squared to Fox and Bad Taste In Men to ABC.
Bradley spendt a decade leading Sony TV’s current department as EVP of U.S. Current Programming.
Hewitt, repped by WME and Untitled, most recently did a two-episode stint on TV Land’s Hot In Cleveland, reuniting with Betty White, with whom she starred in the 2011 Hallmark Hall of Fame movie The Lost Valentine on CBS.

Loretta Devine Is Added To “The Client List”
Written by
Jennifer on January 19th, 2012
The cast of Lifetime’s upcoming series The Client List just got better, or if you’re not averse to lame puns, a bit more divine. Loretta Devine is set to play a role in Lifetime series that sounds like it could be quite a bit more scandalous than what we’ve seen from her in recent parts.
The Client List is based on a Lifetime movie from 2010, which starred Jennifer Love Hewitt and Cybill Shepherd and followed a Texas housewife who ends up running a massage parlor that’s secretly a prostitution service. The series will presumably continue the story with Hewitt reprising her role as Riley and Shepherd once again, playing her mother.
According to Deadline, Loretta Devine is set to join the cast as a series regular, playing the owner of the massage parlor.

Cybill Shepherd is making her return to television in a role for which she’s already familiar.
The well-known actress will star opposite Jennifer Love Hewitt in Lifetime’s upcoming drama, The Client List, a drama based on the network’s original movie of the same name. The news comes some five months after Lifetime announced it would order 10 hourlong episodes of the Sony-produced project, which starred both Hewitt and Shepherd.
The drama centers on Hewitt, who will reprise her role as a housewife in a conservative Texas town. The character takes a job at a day spa to make ends meet, but quickly realizes that the parlor’s employees are actually prostitutes servicing prominent members of society. In an attempt to relieve her own financial hardships, she too turns to prostitution. Shepherd will play the part of Hewitt’s mother once again. The casting marks her first regular series roles since her mid-1990s hit sitcom, Cybill.
Shepherd, who has guested on both USA’s Psych and ABC’s No Ordinary Family, is repped by Buchwald/Fortitude, Hofflund Co. and Hansen Jacobson.
