Katherine Bell, born on August 14, 1968, in London, England, is a distinguished actress known primarily for her work in television dramas. After moving to Los Angeles at the age of two, Bell initially pursued biomedical engineering before discovering her passion for acting. Her career began with minor roles, most notably in the sitcom Sugar and Spice and the film Men of War (1994). Her breakthrough role was as Lieutenant Colonel Sarah McKenzie in the series JAG (1997-2005), which cemented her status in the entertainment industry.

Bell’s personal life, especially following JAG, attracted media attention. She was married to screenwriter and producer Adam B from 1994 until 2011, with whom she shares two children. After their amicable separation, she entered a relationship with Brook Denil, a photographer and party planner, which led to public speculation about her sexuality—rumors that Bell has chosen to neither confirm nor deny, preferring to keep her private life out of the spotlight.
