Larry Hagman's heading to Wisteria Lane.
The Dallas kingpin will have a guest role early next year on Desperate Housewives as a love interest for Stella Wingfield, Lynette Scavo's (Felicity Huffman) mother, played by Polly Bergen, says The Hollywood Reporter.
"I just decided, and am going to shoot next week," says Hagman, who's never seen the show, but is thrilled to be playing opposite a "big star" such as Bergen.
To prepare for the role, Hagman has taken to Hulu. "I can watch a hundred episodes on my iPad," he marvels. "I never watch television, so I better get started so I can see what the show's all about."
