Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright will share the small-screen with her fictional counterpart this fall on the CBS drama "Madam Secretary. " The one-time secretary of State will appear as herself to advise the show’s top diplomat — Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord — on “a sticky situation … threatening to fracture her relationship with [faux] President Conrad Dalton,” CBS said in a statement. Albright, a Czech immigrant who served during the Clinton administration as the nation’s first female secretary of State, this week visited the set of "Madam Secretary."

Leoni’s co-star, Tim Daly, and executive producer Lori McCreary also showed Albright some Twitter love, sharing behind-the-scenes photos of the former secretary during filming of the show’s sophomore season.
