‘Lady Bird’ Star Laurie Metcalf Brings Daughter To ‘Supergirl’ Set

Laurie Metcalf has made her daughter’s dream come true when she brought her to the set of CW’s “Supergirl.”

According to People, Metcalf is currently in Vancouver filming a guest-starring role on the Melissa Benoist-led series.

“I’m so thrilled to be here on the set of Supergirl!” Metcalf told the news outlet. “My [12-year-old] daughter, Mae, and I are huge fans of the show and it was her dream to meet Melissa.”

As revealed by TVLine last November, Metcalf will appear as Winn’s (Jeremy Jordan) estranged mom in Season 3, episode 15.

“I’m incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to bring Mae to work with me as I take on the guest role of Mary McGowan,” Metcalf told People.

News of Metcalf’s appearance on “Supergirl” was first revealed in a Vanity Fair profile published in November. In the profile, the actress revealed that she showed interest in the part “so her youngest child can meet her idol Melissa Benoist.”

While viewers has yet to meet Winn’s mom, fans already met his dad, Winslow Schott Sr., aka Toyman, in Season 1, episode 10, titled “Childish Things.” In the episode, Winn had a disastrous reunion with his father, who escaped from prison in order to murder his old boss. At the end of the hour, Supergirl and the DEO managed to stop Toyman’s plan, sending him back to jail.

Metcalf is best known for playing the role of Jackie Harris on NBC’s “Roseanne” from 1988 to 1997. The 62-year-old actress is set to reprise her three-time Emmy-winning role in the upcoming revival of the series, which will premiere in March. Metcalf’s recent TV credits include HBO’s “Getting On,” CBS’ “The Big Bang Theory” and ABC’s “Desperate Housewives.”

On the film side, Metcalf was last seen in Greta Gerwig’s dramedy “Lady Bird.” The actress earned a Golden Globe nomination for her performance as Marion McPherson in the movie. She’s also currently working on “Toy Story 4,” in which she voices the character of Mrs. Davis.
