It’s our duty, nay life goal, to cover every last detail about the upcoming Arrested Development revival, so…
Hollywood.com spoke with Mae Whitman [who plays Ann Veal] on Sunday and she told us that she absolutely, positively wants to be a part of the excitement.
“I’ve always been like ‘Oh I don’t want to give anything away,’ but I definitely, definitely wouldn’t ever let this chance go by without being a part of it,” Whitman said. “I told Mitch [Hurwitz] that I would stand outside the sound stage until he would let me just walk through the background or something.”
Whitman continued, “I would say yes, you can definitely expect to find a little bit of Ann hiding in the background somewhere, at least.” (Via)
It’s as Ann as the nose on plain’s face that…wait, who are we talking about again? Some sort of hog?

References! But seriously, AD wouldn’t be the same without Ann, who was last seen being taught the ways of Gob’s secular flesh. Mayonnaise sales are gonna skyrocket next spring.



She’s looking much better now-a-days than Alia Shawkat. Maybe they’ll play that into the plot.
Her?
Who? I remember an Annabelle…
She’s the belle of the ball!
The husband and I have been rewatching the complete series in anticipation, and I strongly suspect that they padded her to make her look chunkier than she was.
I believe they mentioned that in one of the DVD commentaries. She was quite fit in the short-lived Andre Braugher show “Thief”. Though recent appearances suggest a replumping.
Yes, I believe she’s plumped up again (and horribly blonde) in Parenthood.
The only way to celebrate news this good is with a mayonn-egg.
Honestly, watching that clip with the sound off makes it ten times funnier.
Egg?
I don’t remember her was she on the show?
Her film and tv credits since Arrested was cancelled is ridiculous.
she was Roxy in Scott Pilgrim? Ann, who?
Since I think all the good references have already been said, I wanted to instead point out that the only thing Hollywood.com actually did was ask Mae Whitman a “yes or no” one question, “Hey Mae Whitman, would you like to be part of the Arrested Development revival?”
She replied, “Me?”
Michael should become obsessed with her.
Who is that? Ann? Who is Ann? How come you’ve never introduced me to your friend Ann?
Ann’s middle name is way better than mine.
