Modern Family Taps Elizabeth Pena as Gloria's Mother

Elizabeth Pena

Gloria's family is coming to town on Modern Family!

Elizabeth Pena, whose credits include La Bamba and Rush Hour, has been cast as Gloria's (Sofia Vergara) mother, while Stephanie Beatriz (The Closer) will portray Gloria's sister, TVGuide.com has confirmed. TVLine.com first reported the news.

Exclusive: Shelley Long returning to Modern Family

The actresses will appear in Episode 12, "Fulgencio," which oddly showed up as a baby name possibility when we searched it online. Could this be the name of Gloria's impending baby?

Modern Family airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on ABC.
