Fan Casting Emily Wilson in The First Lady

First Lady of the United States Born into an affluent Virginia family, Evelyn attended Georgetown University before earning a master's degree in public policy. She met Paul Wilson during his early congressional career and initially became one of his most trusted political advisers. After Paul’s presidential campaign succeeded, Emily transformed herself into a formidable political figure in her own right. Her charitable initiatives and advocacy work made her enormously popular with the public. Privately, however, years of political campaigning have left her marriage emotionally distant. Her involvement with Gabe, Dana, and Lucy becomes the first time she allows herself to live outside the carefully constructed role of First Lady.
