Welcome to The Catherine Bell Picture Pages!
This site truly contains only high quality scans of Catherine,
so you can stop searching for Catherine Bell pictures from
now on! For those new to the site, my philosophy on exactly
what constitutes 'high quality' is found here.

Though she plays a true-blue American Marine
investigator on CBS's J.A.G., Catherine Bell is actually London-born.
But when her parents, Peter, an architect, and Mina, a nurse,
divorced when Catherine was a toddler, she and her mother
settled in Los Angeles, CA. A self-described
"geek," Bell thrived in math and biology in school,
and in junior high once programmed a computer video game.
She entered UCLA with the intention of being a pre-med major,
but in her sophomore year found herself at a crossroads. Making
a decision to take her life in a different direction, she
began modeling in Japan, but after four months found the lifestyle
damaging to her self-esteem and well being.
She returned to Los Angeles with a new goal:
to prove herself as an actress. She soon found herself cast
in guest spots on shows like Hercules, Dream On, and Friends.
But it was a three-line part on the military drama J.A.G.
- on an episode in which her character was brutally murdered
- that changed it all.
Several months after that guest spot, Bell
heard that the producers of J.A.G. were looking for a new
female lead for the show. So she crossed her fingers and wrote
a letter to executive producer Donald P. Bellisario, declaring
her suitability for the role of Maj. Sarah "Mac"
MacKenzie.
Intrigued, Bellisario decided to take a gamble,
and Bell won the part. Her chemistry with male lead David
James Elliot, who plays Lt. Cmdr. Harmon "Harm"
Rabb, ensured that the show, which had been struggling in
the ratings, would thrive on a new network. J.A.G. now holds
a steady position in Nielsen's Top 20.
Her role on J.A.G. allows Bell to showcase
her athletic skills - she's been kickboxing for over 10 years,
and knows her way around a shooting range. In her off-camera
time, her tomboyish nature comes to the fore when she throws
herself into snow boarding, riding motorcycles, wake boarding,
and other extreme sports.
