Biography
In season one, Bell made a very short appearance as Lt Diane Schonke for whom Harm was arrested for murdering in the episode Skeleton Crew. In the second season of JAG, Bell replaced Needham as female lead. To learn more about her role, she spent time doing research at Camp Pendleton, a Marine Corps base in Southern California.  

Bell became an actress by accident. She modeled part-time while in college at UCLA studying to be a doctor or biomedical engineer. Her studies were interrupted when she was sent to Japan to model. Bell believed, even though her model carrer was flourishing, that her shyness was holding her back. To solve this, she hired an acting coach and the rest is history.  

She was born in London, England, and moved to Los Angeles when she was 3. She can speak Farsi Fluently and enjoys sky diving, bungi jumping, kick boxing, and painting. She lives with her husband, Adam, and their Italian greyhound,Leo, in Los Angeles.  

Her other roles include being featured in "Death Becomes Her" and co-starring in "Men of War." On television she has appeared on "Friends," "Dream On," "Misery Loves Company," and syndicated "Hercules."
