Vienna - Actress Nicollette Sheridan, one of the stars in the US TV series Desperate Housewives, will add sparkle to this year's Vienna Opera Ball as guest of Richard Lugner, the Austrian socialite announced Wednesday.
In order to promote his Vienna shopping centre, Lugner traditionally pays a celebrity to accompany him to Austria's most glamorous society event, which will take place on February 19 this year.
British-born Sheridan, 45, is not only set to get a taste of Vienna's ball culture, but also of Lugner's rough manners, which he put on display already when announcing his guest.
