The Leading Ladies: A Catfight for the Ages

The Supporting Cast: A Stellar Lineup
- Mama Morton: The queen of the Cook County Jail, Mama Morton, played by the legendary Queen Latifah, is the one who keeps the inmates in line. She's tough, she's wise, and she's got a heart of gold (well, kind of).
- Amos Hart: Roxie's hapless husband, Amos, played by the hilarious John C. Reilly, is the epitome of the "long-suffering spouse." He's loyal, he's goofy, and he's always there to pick up the pieces.
