We think that the casting director on "Once Upon A Time" must possess magical powers, since the show has conjured up yet another ideal actor, this time to play Snow White's mother.
According to TV Guide, Rena Sofer will play Queen Eva, the mother of Ginnifer Goodwin's kick-ass princess. She'll be seen in flashbacks in at least one episode, alongside the equally perfect Bailee Madison (who plays young Snow), which is scheduled to air in early March.
