Actress Megan Dodds will play Mina Crandon a.k.a. Margery the Medium in HISTORY's Houdini miniseries, according to IMDb.

Dodds is a California native who studied acting at the famous Juilliard School. She has performed on stage in London and off Broadway and has appeared in film and television, include 12 episodes as Christine Whitney on CSI: NY.

This will mark Margery's second appearance in a Houdini biopic. The first was a brief but memorable turn by Barbara Rhoades in The Great Houdinis (1976).

Houdini stars Adrien Brody as Houdini and Kristen Connolly as Bess. The 4-hour miniseries is directed by Uli Edel from a script by Nicholas Meyer. It will air over the course of two nights on HISTORY sometime this year.
