Hollis is an esteemed hostess, and if all she had to do was plan, coordinate and execute social events for the president her life would be golden.
But, she’s dealing with some major roadblocks in the form of her rebellious kids, a husband who’s threatened by her status, Nancy Reagan’s Chief of Staff and her own intense social anxiety disorder.
Debra Messing has now signed on to executive produce and star in East Wing, a new Starz comedy that will feature Messing as Hollis Carlisle, who’s serving as the Social Secretary in the White House during Ronald Reagan’s time as the president in the 1980s.
