Once Upon A Time Casts Its Sleeping Beauty

Irish actress Sarah Bolger (The Tudors, The Spiderwick Chronicles) has been cast as Sleeping Beauty – or Princess Aurora, in the second season of Once Upon A Time, according to TVLine.

Given that Sleeping Beauty fairytale (in the Disney version of it, anyway) features the evil Maleficent, hopefully that means we’ll also be seeing more of True Blood’s Kristin Bauer van Straten, who played the witch queen in season one.
