Another name was added in early April to the list of stars who have taken up residence in Western North Carolina for the filming of the remake of “Dirty Dancing” which is now in progress.

Katey Sagal, star of “Married with Children” and “Sons of Anarchy,” has joined the cast as former beauty queen and seductress Vivian Pressman, which was played by Miranda Garrison in the 1987 original.

To date, the cast for the film includes Abigail Breslin (most known for “Zombieland,” “Little Miss Sunshine” and MTV’s “Scream Queens”) as Baby Houseman, dancer Colt Prattes as Johnny Castle and Pussycat Dolls’ lead singer Nicole Scherzinger as Penny the dance instructor. “Modern Family’s” Sarah Hyland plays Baby’s older sister, Lisa, Billy Dee Williams of “Star Wars” was cast as Tito, and Debra Messing of “Will & Grace” and Bruce Greenwood of “Star Trek” and “I, Robot” will play Baby’s parents, Marjorie and Dr. Jake Houseman.

Lionsgate TV is producing the special three-hour program to air on ABC networks. “Dirty Dancing,” which finished its pre-production phase on April 8, began filming in the area on April 11.

Primary filming locations are the High Hampton Inn in Cashiers and the Kanuga Conference and Retreat Center near Hendersonville, where the crew set up its production headquarters in March.
