Celebrity Mound

After a small car accident, Megan Mullally, a recent addition to the cast of Party Down, has ended up with a cast on her wrist.

Once the writers knew she was going to be fine, they quickly made her minor mishap into a major new storyline. Mullally’s character, Lydia, will sport a bright pink cast in several of the episodes that are scheduled to air in spring 2010. Lydia will explain to her “Party Down” catering compatriots that the accident occurred while she was practicing trust falls with her 13-year-old daughter Escapade.

Mullally (“Will & Grace,” Fame) plays Lydia Dunfree, a middle-aged refugee from a lousy marriage who leaves small town life to move to Hollywood where her 13-year-old daughter hopes to make it as an actress..
