Catherine Bell is probably best known for her lengthy stint on the television series JAG, but science fiction fans will recognize her from her starring roles in the Sci-Fi Channel mini-series The Triangle and the time travel disaster flick Thrill Seekers (originally released as The Time Shifters). Catherine Bell also appeared in three episodes of the short-lived alien series Threshold, as well as Alien Nation: Body and Soul.

Like many of our previous sci-fi starlets, Catherine Bell got her start in modeling. Her first movie role was as a body double for Isabella Rossellini in Death Becomes Her. Yes, there was partial nudity involved.

Although her most recent role in the Lifetime television series Army Wives is decidedly not aimed at sci-fi fans, Catherine Bell continues to have a significant following (if Web forums are any indication.)

In 2003, a Stuff Magazine interviewer asked Catherine about her experience with Hollywood bad boys hitting on her. She responded with this particularly nasty example of an interaction with one of these “bad boys”:

I told him that I was on a diet—five ounces of protein and a cup of vegetables [per meal]. He leaned over and whispered in my ear, “I’ll give you five ounces of protein.”

Yuck. At least Stuff has the good Catherine Bell pics, like this one:
