Warning: some spoilers ahead for Orange Is the New Black!
It may be the final season of Orange Is the New Black, but there's still time for new characters, like Zelda, played by Alicia Witt. Zelda is Piper's sophisticated, understanding new girlfriend. Witt is new to the Netflix family, but you've definitely seen her on your screen before.
Witt's career began as a child, when she was discovered on the talent show That's Incredible! at the age of 5. At age 8, she made her screen debut in David Lynch's Dune; she would work with Lynch again six years later as a guest star on Twin Peaks - her TV debut. Her major mainstream breakthrough came in 1995, when she began playing the role of Zoey, the daughter of Cybill Shepherd's daughter on the sitcom Cybill. Witt remained in this role until 1998, for the entire run of the series.
Over the next several years,...

Here’s the only plausible explanation for “Pottersville,” a nearly unwatchable — but inexplicably star-studded — new Christmas comedy which is making a brief pitstop in select theaters before spending the rest of eternity in the storage room of your local Walmart: A veteran producer at the Hallmark Channel was at the end of his rope (for the purposes of this hypothetical scenario, let’s pretend said producer was “Pottersville” director Seth Henrikson, whose sparse IMDb credits leave plenty to the imagination). Frustrated by a career spent churning out festive — and weirdly horny — shlock like “A Very Merry Mix-Up,” “Matchmaker Santa” (featuring Lacey Chabert), and “A Boyfriend for Christmas” (the story of an infatuated girl who wastes her 20s waiting for Santa Claus to come down her chimney), he finally broke.
