'The Birds' actress one of many Hollywood stars to appear for Season 4

"Cougar Town" backslides from ABC to TBS next year, and producers hope that Hedren -- along with previously announced guest stars Shirley Jones, Alexandra Wentworth and Gillian Vigman -- will cushion the fall.
In Hedren's episode, whose air date is not known, the cul de sac crew will attempt to capture the actress-turned-animal-activist to cheer up Jules' (Cox) dad, Chick (Ken Jenkins), according to a TBS press release.

Season 4 of "Cougar Town" premieres Tue., Jan. 8 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on TBS.
