LATANYA RICHARDSON HEADED TO BROADWAY: Wife of Samuel L. to play maid in revival of 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?'
*Fox.com columnist Roger Friedman is reporting that actress LaTanya Richardson has been cast opposite Debra Winger in the upcoming Broadway revival of "Guess Who's coming to Dinner."
"The word is that Winger will take the role made famous by Katharine Hepburn in the 1968 film of a matriarch whose daughter brings home a black doctor as her fiancée," Friedman wrote in his Fox411 column Tuesday.
Jackson is tapped to play the family's maid Tillie Banks, who was portrayed in the 1968 film by Isabel Sanford.
Friedman wrote: "Producers are said to be looking at TV’s Amanda Bynes as the couple’s daughter, played by Hepburn’s niece Katharine Houghton in the film. Still to be cast is the Sidney Poitier role, Dr. John Prentice, although I’m told Mekhi Phifer, of "ER," may be the final choice. If he’s not available, producers should try and get Anthony Mackie."
