Fast Times Getting High

Jennifer Jason Leigh is about to get some 'green', according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The “Miami Blues” and “Backdraft” star (Yeah, she has a thing for Baldwin’s!) has joined the cast of Showtime’s “Weeds”. She’s playing Mary-Louise Parker's estranged older sister.

As Nancy (Parker) finds herself and her family in harm's way, she sends her brother-in-law, Andy (Justin Kirk), to takeher son, Shane (Alexander Gould), to live with her estranged older sister, Jill (Leigh).

But when Jill gets fed up with her own suburban family, she finds her way back into Nancy's life -- jealous, frustrated and intent on finally hashing things out with her little sister.

The new season of “Weeds” – I believe that’s the fifth? - airs in June.

My personal favourite JJ performance? That of the not-so-virginal Stacey Hamilton in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” – ah, sex and Jackson Browne , what a combo! Here's the trailer for the classic pic!
