Jill Biden makes acting debut on 'Army Wives'

Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President Joe Biden, has made her very own acting debut in the television show "Army Wives," as part of her bid to help support US families affected by family members at war.

In the episode, which aired on Saturday, Biden plays a mother whose son has been deployed to Iraq. In many ways, reports Politico, she played herself: stopping by an army fort to speak with military families about their obstacles.

"The important thing is to realize you're not alone," Biden said to the military wives who gathered around her. "And when you need help, say so."


"It was an opportunity I couldn't pass up", Biden reportedly said on a television interview she gave regrading the role.

Former vice president of the United States, Dick Cheney, was hospitalized after experiencing discomfort, according to the Associated Press, who reported on Cheney's condition just hours ago.
