Guest stars add heavy dose of glitter

Two veteran actresses make guest-star appearances tonight.

Faye Dunaway plays a former Las Vegas showgirl with ties to the underworld on “CSI” (8 p.m., CBS). While best known for a long film resume including “Bonnie and Clyde,” “The Thomas Crown Affair, “Chinatown,” “Network” and “Mommie Dearest,” Dunaway is no stranger to television. Just last year she was the star of the WB reality talent search called “The Starlet.”

Dunaway has been making TV movies since the 1970s, appearing in adaptations of the stage dramas “Hogan’s Goat” (1971) and “After the Fall” (1974) on the small screen. She played Evita long before Madonna did, starring in the title role of the 1981 made-for-TV biopic “Evita Peron,” co-starring James Farentino as her dictator husband.

Fans of “Alias” will recall Dunaway’s guest stints as Ariana Kane. She also appeared on the Showtime series “Soul Food” as Katherine Burke and had several stints on “Touched By An Angel” as Dr. Rebecca Markham.

A repeat episode of “CSI” (8 p.m.) will precede tonight’s original installment.

¢ Mary Tyler Moore will appear on “That ’70s Show” (7 p.m., Fox). The multiple-Emmy winner will appear as the star of local TV show “What’s Up Wisconsin?” This is clearly a nod to her job at a local Minnesota TV station on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” one of the more popular shows of the ’70s.

The guest spot on “That ’70s Show” marks a homecoming of sorts for Moore. The comedy is shot in the same Studio City studio where “Mary Tyler Moore” was produced from 1970 to 1977.

“That ’70s Show” will air its final episode in May. The comedy debuted in 1998 and has been limping along for some time now. This past season has seen the departure of its two biggest stars, Ashton Kutcher and Topher Grace. A second episode (7:30 p.m.) follows.
