Addison’s Mother, Bizzy, is coming!

Wow, that was fast! Just the other day, I broke the news about her father normal_005coming.

And now, meet the mother.

On the heels of ‘7th Heaven‘ alum Stephen Collins being cast on ABC’s ‘Private Practice‘ as Addison’s father, JoBeth Williams has landed the guest-starring role of family matriarch “Bizzy” Forbes Montgomery.


A source tells me that Williams will appear in this season’s 10th episode, yet she will not cross paths with on-screen hubby Collins, who was booked for a multi-episode run. ‘Private Practice’ airs Thursdays at 10/9c.

Williams is a three-time Emmy nominee for her work in the TV-movies ‘Adam’ and ‘Baby M’ and a guest turn on ‘Frasier.’ Her film credits include the supernatural spooker ‘Poltergeist.’

According to the article, Addison’s father will have a Multi Episode Arc. Can’t wait to meet the parents!

    Hmm, yes, I think this is a good casting choice as well. I can see how JoBeth Williams and Stephen Collins could spawn Addison and Archer. While it’s a shame the two won’t cross paths (which is odd, especially considering this is Shondaland), I look forward to seeing them and I’ll admit I’m quite glad that Stephen Collins is sticking around for multiple episodes (I’m biased though, because he was the best part of 7th Heaven – he always cracked me up). But now my question is: what on earth is bringing Addison’s parents to Oceanside?
