Zap2It reports that Evan Rachel Wood, known to us as ditzy vamp Queen Sophie Anne, has been signed on to star in HBO’s latest big budget, high brow mini series, Mildred Pierce, together with Kate Winslet (as Mildred Pierce), Guy Pearce and other impressive names. This might explain why she dropped out of the dodgy-sounding Spiderman muscial on Broadway, as we reported a couple of days back.

The adaptation of James M. Cain’s novel follows the title character  as she attempts to make a better life for herself and win the love of her ungrateful daughter in Depression-era Los Angeles. Evan will play Mildred’s daughter Veda — which will require her to play younger, Kate Winslet to play older, or both, as in real life Evan  is only 12 years younger than Winslet, who is definitely no hag.
