Rabe will play Lorena “Hick” Hickock, a pioneering journalist who by 1932 became America’s best-known female reporter and was a devoted friend and mentor to Eleanor Roosevelt.
Rabe joins a cast that already includes Viola Davis (How to Get Away With Murder) as Michelle Obama, Michelle Pfeiffer (The Wizard of Lies) as Betty Ford and Gillian Anderson (The Crown) as Eleanor Roosevelt.
