Ash shared some nice but cryptic news via Twitter. She was celebrating a job — she later confirmed with me that it is indeed an acting job (my other guess was modeling because — hello the woman is simply fly!) but at this time she can’t share more.
So happy for Ash and I can’t wait to see what it is about and who she’ll play! I knew she’d get something!
Congrats Ashley!
UPDATE! We have breaking news via Deadline.com about Ashley’s latest project… Revenge!
Another Brit, The Beautiful Life alumna Ashley Madekwe is the first actress to be cast in ABC’s drama pilot Revenge, written by Swingtown creator Mike Kelley and to be directed by Phillip Noyce. It is a contemporary re-imagening of The Count of Monte Cristo from a female perspective and centers on Emily Thorn, a mysterious young woman who comes to the Hamptons to exact revenge on the people who destroyed her family. Madekwe will play a close friend of Emily who works for the people who wronged her. Word is Kelley, who exec produced the CW’s short-lived Beautiful Life, wrote the character with Madekwe in mind. Madekwe, repped by The Collective and UK’s Gordon and French, also co-starred in the NBC comedy pilot The Pink House and the British series Secret Diary of a Call Girl.
