Patricia Arquette has booked a guest role on the long-running “Law & Order: SVU”, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The episode, titled “Dreams Deferred”, airs later in November.

Anne Meara and Patricia Arquette are heading to NBC’s Law & Order: SVU.

The actress/comedian and the former Medium star have been tapped to guest star in an upcoming episode, playing mother and daughter, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

The episode, titled “Dreams Deferred,” will revolve around an armed and dangerous man who goes on a killing spree with Arquette’s Jeannie — a prostitute with whom he has a long-standing relationship with — representing the last person he calls. When Jeannie goes missing, the SVU is tasked with convincing their NYPD cohorts that her life is worth saving.  Meara will play Jeannie’s mother, Irene, who worries for her daughter’s health and safety.

People at the Popsugar.tv were lucky enough to chat with Balthazar Getty and Malin Akerman about their possible returns to TV, as well as the Arquette sisters and their Thanksgiving traditions at the MOCA event on Saturday.  A possibly pregnant Rachel Zoe was also on hand.  The stylist donned a loose fitting black dress, but stated it was for “comfort.”  Other celebrities shared the carpet with Rachel, including former assistant Brad Goreski.

Patricia was recently honored with the Difference Award from the charity, OneXOne, which was founded by Matt Damon to help children in need all over the world. At the Third Annual OneXOne Fundraiser Gala, held in NYC on October 27th, Patricia was honored for her work in Haiti, and with her charity, GiveLove.org, with the Difference Award, presented by OneXOne.

Matt Damon presented Patricia with the award and spoke glowingly about Patricia’s devotion to the people of Haiti, and the fearlessness with which she took on the task of providing sustainable housing, sanitation, and clean water solutions for the poorest people of Haiti, in the most dangerous part of Haiti.
