Move over, Glenn Close. There’s a new female TV lawyer in town.
Hillary Duff, who appealed to tweens as Lizzie McGuire, will star as a very young lawyer in an NBC comedy called Barely Legal, the Hollywood Reporter reports. The show is based on real-life lawyer Kathleen Holtz, who passed the California bar in 2007 at the age of 18.
The Hollywood Reporter says the show “might be described as a legal version of Doogie Howser, M.D."
