Catherine Bell Biography
A beguiling dark-eyed beauty with a statuesque figure, Catherine Bell rose to prominance on the military-themed television series “JAG” (1995 -2005) as Maj. Sarah “Mac” MacKenzie. Born in London, Bell emigrated to California with her Iranian mother at the age of two and began acting and modeling as a child. After a stint as a fashion model in Japan, Bell first got a foothold in Hollywood as a body double, performing a nude scene for Isabella Rossellini in director Robert Zemeckis’ “Death Becomes Her” (1992). Small roles in TV movies, C-level action flicks, sydicated fare including “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys” and racy TV series such as HBO’s risque comedy “Dream On” and the erotic cable anthology “Hot Line”–which made great advantage of her enviable physique–followed.
She made her “JAG” debut on an 1996 episode as Lt. Diane Schonke, the love interest of lead character Harm (David James Elliott). After return engagements her character was tragically killed off, but Bell learned that “JAG” producer Don Bellasario was looking for a new regular female lead for the series and wrote Bellasario a letter, suggesting that it would be intirguing if the new character were the spitting image of Harm’s lost love. Bellasario agreed and Bell joined the cast as a new character, Maj. Sarah “Mac” MacKenzie when the show switched networks from NBC to CBS in 1997. She parlayed her visibility and the show’s mainstream popularity–especially with military supporters–into several magazine covers and roles in telepics, ultimately landing a high-profile movie role as the object of Jim Carrey’s lust in the comedy “Bruce Almighty” (2003). When her co-star Elliott announced his attention to leave the show following its tenth season in 2004-2005, producers initially planned to reshape the series around Bell, but the network ultimately pulled the plug on the show.

Jennifer Aniston has found a revival in the bedroom! The all together sexy actress decided to tell her new hubby, former Essex builder turned model Paul Sculfor, that he’s better in the sack than her ex Brad Pitt.
The former “Friends” actress is said to be very impressed with Sculfor’s talents in between the sheets, with a source close to Jennifer telling Star magazine, “She’s left Paul in no doubt that he is the man for her. She even let slip that he’s better in the bed than either Brad or Vince!”
The insider also mentioned that Aniston “spent nearly 400 UKP on suspender belts, pants, and stockings. Jen shopped online and then sent her assistant to the pick the items up.”
Jennifer’s close friend Tiffany Laws added that Paul is not only the man in the sack, but is also very romantic.
Laws said, “”He bought Jen a huge bunch of flowers, then had chocolates and champagne delivered. She loved that. Jen goes by what her heart is telling her, and the initial indications are really good.”
The actress definitely believes that her new hubbies intentions are noble, to say the least.
Laws confirmed this by saying, “She’s not bothered about gossip. She will give him a chance to show he’s the right guy for her.”
After struggling with so many different relationships, it seems the seductive actress has finally found a quality match.
It has also been rumored that Aniston wants to start a family and a close source told the National Ledger that the hot actress thinks “Paul has great genes.” Yet, she also said this about Brad, and we all know how that turned out.
Regardless, love is definitely in the air and all signs point to Paul being Jen’s new Bruce Almighty.
