The “Oscar winner” touted in ABC promos for the show is Tatum O’Neal, who won an Oscar for “Paper Moon” in 1973. And the “NFL great” is, as previously reported, Jerry Rice.
The second edition of “Dancing,” which premieres Jan. 5, will also feature:

* Former “Access Hollywood” anchor Giselle Fernandez.
* Perpetually tanned actor/gadabout George Hamilton.
* WWE wrestler Stacy Kiebler
* Drew Lachey, former member of boy band 98 degrees and brother of Jessica Simpson’s estranged husband, Nick Lachey.
* ESPN anchor Kenny Mayne.
* Pillow-lipped soap actress and SOAPnet co-host Lisa Rinna

This year, the show has been expanded to 90 minutes to accommodate the cast, which has expanded from six couples to 10.
