Local Olympic Star to Guest Star on 'Hart of Dixie' TV Show
Gymnast McKayla Maroney has landed a role in an upcoming episode alongside actress and 'The O.C.' alum, Rachel Bilson.
She wowed us during the 2012 Summer Olympics and became a member of the Fab Five – or the Fierce Five, if you prefer – to take home a Gold Medal along with her counterparts on the U.S. Gymnastics Team.
The petite gymnast, McKayla Maroney, a Laguna Niguel native, who lives in Long Beach now, will guest star in an upcoming episode of Hart of Dixie on the CW. The show, starring The O.C. alum, Rachel Bilson, is a comedic drama about small-town living, big-city attitudes and complicated love triangles.
In the episode, Maroney will guest star as Tonya, a friend of Rose's (played by recurring guest star McKaley Miller), who comes to Rose's defense. Airing Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on the CW, it is the second season of Hart of Dixie, produced by Bonanza Productions Inc.
