Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - "Working Girl" Melanie Griffith is having some work done. The Golden Globe-winning actress will be guest starring in the FX Network medical drama "Nip/Tuck."

The 51-year-old actress will be playing Brandie, Kimber Henry's mother who visits her former adult film star daughter from Wisconsin, as per TV Guide's source.

In the episodes, Brandie will be joined by her on-and-off boyfriend, Les, who attracts an instant hatred by Christian Troy, played by Julian McMahon. Les' treatment of Brandie reminds Christian of his own abuse of women.

Griffith will appear on the show in its seventh and final season.

Her last TV appearance was in the short-lived The WB sitcom "Twins" from 2005 to 2006. She also appeared in the 2007 series "Viva Laughlin," which was canceled after just two episodes.
