Once Upon a Time Scoop: Barbara Hershey Cast as Evil Queen's Mother
Academy Award nominee Barbara Hershey has landed a mother of a role on ABC’s Once Upon a Time, as the very woman who brought the Evil Queen into this world — or, to be more precise, into the fairytale world, TVLine has learned.
Hershey, who is also an Emmy and Golden Globe winner for her role in the 1990 TV-movie A Killing in a Small Town, will first appear as the queen’s mum, Cora, later this season, with the option of also having a short arc in Season 2 (if/when the fantastical drama conjures up a renewal this spring).
Hershey’s Oscar nod came for her supporting role in 1996′s The Portrait of a Lady. Much more recently, she has appeared on the big screen in Black Swan (where she played Natalie Portman’s mother) and last spring’s horror-thriller Insidious. Her long film resume also includes The Last Temptation of Christ (as Mary Magdalene), Hannah and Her Sisters and Beaches, to name but a few.
The actress’ most recent TV credits include a 2010 installment of the British series Agatha Christie’s Poirot and the short-lived WB family drama The Mountain.
So how long until Emma actually believes Henry and isn't just indulging him in the whole fairy tale world?
I hope the don't pad the show with filler and ruin it.
I want to take it behind a middle school and get it pregnant.
I think the Stranger is going to be key to that.
I assume she knows that Graham visited Henry about the book. Unless she thinks he needed advice from a 10 year old...

Emma also has no clue with what Graham said by when he said that he remembers before dying. She also does not know what he visited Henry & asked about the book. Surely Emma can put two & two together ?

Love the irony. Buy this DVD and you get a $5 off coupon for the first season DVD. You wanna know how you can get $10 off? Don't buy this DVD containing the first five episodes that will inevitably be on the season DVD!
That's not even a half-season. That's a quarter.
lol wut..... or shall I say..... OH MY ****ING GAWD!!!!'Once Upon a Time' scoop: 'Alice in Wonderland' episode planned with Roger Daltrey -- EXCLUSIVE
by James Hibberd
Here’s a tri-level scoop for Once Upon a Time fans, with each layer more intriguing then the last. Ready to go down the rabbit hole?
A talking caterpillar is coming to the show…
The talking caterpillar is going to be just one part of an Alice in Wonderland-themed episode. The title is “Hat Trick.” (You got that right? The Mad Hatter, of course… )
The talking caterpillar will be played by the Who’s rock legend Roger Daltrey in voice over. Once Upon executive producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz say the Who’s 1975 rock opera Tommy was “a huge inspiration for the show.”
The Alice in Wonderland episode will likely air in March. Sounds like this is one you don’t want to be late for.
