Kathleen Turner, Golden Globe winner and two-time Tony nominee, has been tapped to play a foul-mouthed lobbyist in HBO’s limited series “The White House Plumbers,” from the team behind “Veep.”

She’s joining an impressively stacked cast that includes Woody Harrelson as E. Howard Hunt, Justin Theroux as G. Gordon Liddy, Domhnall Gleeson as John Dean and Lena Headey as Dorothy Hunt.
