NBC's GRIMM has cast Dee Wallace as Monroe's mother.
No stranger to playing the role of mother, Dee Wallace is possibly best known as Mary, mother of the E.T.-loving Henry in Steven Spielberg's 1982 sci-fi hit and Donna, mother of the St. Bernard fearing Tad in Stephen King's classic, CUJO, not to mention, Mother Dee in The New Lassie series. Dee's recent appearances on Switched at Birth, Warehouse 13 and The Office, in addition to just completed THE ELEPHANT GRAVEYARD with Billy Zane and her own daughter, Gabrielle Stone, brings Ms. Wallace to well over an enviable 200 credits. Just as Dee Wallace wraps the 30th anniversary of "ET: The Extra Terrestrial," she prepares for the 30th anniversary of her follow up film "Cujo" - A film that would begin to define her role as the "Queen of Fear Films" in such movies as The Hills HAVE EYES, THE HOWLING, THE FRIGHTENERS, CRITTERS, HALLOWEEN, THE STEPFORD WIVES, and THE HAUNTED, THE WORLD OF EL SUPERBEASTO, Exit HUMANITY and most recently Rob Zombies' THE LORDS OF SALEM (which has broken all records for previous DVD sales).Videos
