The memory of Charlie Sheen's Charlie Harper lives alive and well in Amber Tamblyn.

The actress will play Jenny, the late Charlie's illegitimate daughter on the upcoming 11th season of the CBS Show, a network representative told TheWrap.

She'll appear in five episodes and apparently share much of her father's favorite things, including women. The role may get bigger if the character works well for the show. The search for the actress to fill this role has been on since at least May.

Tamblyn's TV credits include "House," "Joan of Arcadia" and the daytime drama "General Hospital." As for films, she has appeared in "The Ring," "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," and "Django Unchained."

In April, the comedy was renewed along with the news that Angus T. Jones, the titular "half" on the series, has been bumped down from series regular to a recurring role. Last year, the young actor had trashed the show in a religious video that went viral.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
