Out of Uniform:
Fans of the military courtroom drama "JAG" are getting to see quite a different side of the show's co-star, Catherine Bell, who appears in a bikini on the cover of this month's FHM magazine. "I wanted to do something more playful and light so people will, hopefully, see me in a different light," declares the 33-year-old actress. Bell, who plays serious Marine Lt. Col. Sarah "Mac' Mackenzie, says she's "really interested in doing a romantic comedy or something quirky, and I thought this would be a good way to get some exposure."
And exposed she is. Since Catherine's pinup debut hit newstands, she let's us know, "It's been interesting, to say the least. It's easier for me to get in and meet with different producers and studios now. And people on the street have been coming up to me and complimenting me on the cover. It's pretty flattering I must say."
As for the series, Bell informs that Donald Bellisario-produced drama, which is gearing up for it's eighth season, "will be on for one more year for sure, and possibly even two. Don's such a strong person who is so sure of his vision that the show keeps getting better year after year, both story-wise and ratings-wise. And besides, I think eventually Mac and Harm have to get together before the show ends. They're made for each other."
{THE END}
