BIOGRAPHY
Before becoming a familiar face to viewers around the world, particularly fans of detective series, Angie Harmon was a popular model in the early 1990s, appearing on catwalks for the most prestigious brands and appearing on the covers of fashion magazines. Born to parents who were themselves models in their youth, the purebred Texan Republican evolved in this environment until 1995. Her meeting on a plane with David Hasselhoff , the star of Baywatch , allowed her to land her first role in television: she became the actor’s partner in the spin-off Malibu Club , centered on the nocturnal investigations of Mitch Buchannon. The show was not a great success and only remained on the air for two years, but she wanted to continue on this path: her acting career was launched.
In 1997, the young woman played an FBI agent in C-16 , a series which did not find its audience, and obtained her first film role in Lawn Dogs , alongside Sam Rockwell . From 1998, she joined the team of the successful legal soap opera New York Judicial Police , where she took on the role of Abbie Carmichael, an assistant to the prosecutor. After three seasons, she acquired greater notoriety and decided to devote herself entirely to the big screen. This led her to play in films such as The Broker of the Heart , Cody Banks: Secret Agent or Amateur Robbers , which did not make an impression. In 2005, she returned to television and became a doctor in Inconceivable , a series set in a clinic specializing in fertility. Following the broadcast of only two episodes, the program was canceled. A few films later ( End Game – White House Plot , Glass House: The Good Mother ), she tried her luck again with the project Secrets of a Small Town , which did not convince ABC once the pilot was shot. But the channel believed in the actress and the following year offered her one of the four main roles in its new police show , Women’s Murder Club . Once again, luck was not on her side: only thirteen episodes were filmed and ten were broadcast in the USA.
After a few appearances on Samantha’s side who? and Chuck , Angie Harmon returns to her favorite genre, and this time with success. In Rizzoli & Isles: autopsy of a murder, she plays investigator Jane Rizzoli, who collaborates with forensic pathologist Maura Isles ( Sasha Alexander ), on criminal cases in Boston. More than colleagues, they are close friends.
