"Without a Trace" star joins ABC pilot

Poppy Montgomery, who stars in the television series ''Without a Trace'' arrives as a guest at the party celebrating the launch of Frank Gehry's collection of jewelry and table top items for Tiffany & Co. in Beverly Hills, California March 26, 2006.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Without a Trace" alumna Poppy Montgomery and Marc Blucas ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") are set as leads on the ABC drama pilot "True Blue."

The project revolves around six former best friends who rose through the ranks at the San Francisco Police Department and reunite to solve the murder of one of their own.

Montgomery plays one of the six, the only female police captain in San Francisco, who was once married to another member of the team (Blucas), a detective. The Australian actress co-starred for seven seasons as an FBI agent in "Without a Trace," which was canceled by CBS last year.
