'The L Word's' Jennifer Beals and Ilene Chaiken Reteam for 'Venice' Pilot
Since The L Word bid its final farewell in March of 2009, its star Jennifer Beals has starred in the short-lived The Chicago Code, and signed on for CBS’s The Widow Detective, which appears to have been shelved. Now, the woman who embodied power lesbian extraordinaire Bette Porter for six seasons, has signed on for the pilot for the nighttime soap Venice (not to be confused with the lesbian-themed Crystal Chappell series) from The L Word helmer Ilene Chaiken.
