"23 years of auditioning for a role i was born to play. Coming soon to the @thecwriverdale."
A network rep explains that Kelly will play a confident and tough character named Mrs. Mulwray. "She's a beautiful, icy, femme fatale who gets caught up in a conspiracy that's much bigger than she initially realized," the statement continues.
