"My husband and I were sitting at our dining room table looking at a stack of bills trying to work out a way we could pay them. We'd already borrowed money and I was thinking we'd have to borrow more. I'd been working two jobs and my husband had taken on another while I did acting classes. I got the call and my agent said, `You're not supposed to know this yet, but you've got the part.' I started crying and we went out and brought the cheapest bottle of champagne we could fine."
Once appearing as a kid model in McDonald's, Jack in the Box and Baskin-Robbins commercials, Catherine Bell then received an unaccredited role as a singer in the 1982 film An Officer and a Gentleman. She originally dreamed of becoming a surgeon or a biomedical engineer while attended UCLA. Having been a part-time model while in college, Catherine left her studies to give a modeling career a try. She subsequently worked as a model in Japan and once experienced anorexia and bulimia. She recalled, "People were showing you how to throw up. You're taking diet pills. Everyone's partying, so you start drinking a lot, and drugs. A couple of years messed me up for a while."
Months later, Catherine flew back home. She studied acting at The Beverly Hills Playhouse with Milton Katselas and modeled for Amex Mexican advertisements. In 1992, she was noticed for her nude scene as Isabella Rossellini/Meryl Streep's body double in the movie Death Becomes Her. On her stripping scene in the film, Catherine admitted, "That was fun. I got to meet Bruce Willis and Meryl Streep. I don't mind nudity when it's done tasteful and not just gratuitous T and A. They showed my butt! It was fine, though. I think the female body is beautiful."
More film work followed. She landed roles in films like Mother of the Bride (1993, TV), Men of War (1994) and Alien Nation: Body and Soul (1995, TV). She was also spotted as a guest in the TV series "Dream On," "Vanishing Son," "Friends" and "Hot Line."
1997 was Catherine's breakaway year. After being brutally murdered on screen while guest starring on the military court drama series "JAG," Catherine eventually won the regular role of Marine Maj./Lt. Col. Sarah "Mac" MacKenzie in the CBS long-lived series. In the series, originally aired on NBC, Catherine played David James Elliott's sexy sidekick from 1997 to 2005. The series became a hit and was listed in the Nielsen's Top 20.
