Catherine Bell, a breaking news movie star, says she is leaving Hollywood because of…
Catherine Bell, an actress, enthralled viewers all over the world with her portrayals of independent women who frequently radiated calm confidence. Before securing a breakthrough role on the drama “JAG” (NBC, 1995–96; CBS, 1997–2005), she spent several years modeling and doing some small-scale acting. In the show, she portrayed a fearless military attorney who exuded both wholesomeness and sex appeal. The role also elevated the lanky starlet to the top of FHM and Maxim’s “Sexiest Woman” lists, making her one of Hollywood’s most sought-after ladies of the new millennium.
With a leading part on “Army Wives” in 2007, Bell transcended her time on the fairly light “JAG” and was able to demonstrate emotional depth (Lifetime, 2007-2013). Her tragic performance of a desolate housewife who is battered by her problematic son won over both critics and viewers, solidifying her status as one of the most underappreciated beauty in the business. Bell subsequently made another genre change, starring in a run of kid-friendly TV shows that eventually became the Hallmark series “The Good Witch” (2015).
