Who Should Play Olivia's Mom on Fringe?

Warning: major Fringe spoiler and casting scoop ahead!

Insiders have confirmed to TV Guide Magazine that Fringe will feature Olivia's mother in a multi-episode arc next season. No actress has been cast in the role yet, but network sources describe the character as "loving, stable and sweet."

Because one daughter died during birth, Olivia's mom pays special attention to the child that is still alive.

Taking Cover, Aim

William Keck, who broke this story, recommends former Bionic Woman Lindsay Wagner for the role. Not a bad choice. We could envision it going to Sharon Stone... or what about Jamie Lee Curtis?

What do you think, Fringe viewers? Who should play Olivia's mother?

** UPDATE: Amy Madigan has landed this key role.

Fringe Quotes

Walter: It's a shame I don't have a lab. I'd like to examine him.
Peter: You do have a lab, Walter. Your lab at Harvard.
Walter: Yes. I do, don't I?

Just your average multi-national corporation specializing in secret bio research and defense contracting. Massive Dynamic. Seems like such an innocent name for a corporation, don't you think?
