As TVWeek previously reported, the NBC pilot will feature Johnson as Allan Mann, a straight hairdresser in his 50s who is trying to stay sober while dealing with a business focused on the youth culture.
Barkin will play Mann’s ex-wife and the mother of their three children who helped him build his hairdressing empire before migrating away from the day-to-day operations, the story says, adding that Barkin has appeared on several TV movies, winning an Emmy for 1997’s "When Women Had Wings."
The TV movie she won an Emmy for is actually called “Before Women Had Wings.”
