On the Law & Order episode ‘Private Eyes,’ NYPD detectives Cosgrove (Jeffrey Donovan) and Shaw (Mehcad Brooks) investigate the murder of a family physician whose outspoken politician wife, Kristin Bartell, suspects she was the intended target.
Kristin Bartell is portrayed by Sasha Alexander, who’s best known for her TV roles as Helene on Shameless; Caitlin Todd on NCIS with Michael Weatherly (see reunion above on Bull); and as Maura Isles in the hit series Rizzoli & Isles with former Law & Order star Angie Harmon (Rizzoli), see below.
And when not on a TV or movie set, Alexander is turning heads on a red carpet with her husband Edoardo Ponti, son of the late Hollywood icon Sophia Loren.
With the photos below, Alexander writes: “A few years back, Sophia let me raid her closet (you can imagine)… I went crazy for the vintage @dior pieces. This dress was one she wore often and Edoardo remembers it well. With a little nip/ tuck (particularly in the boobies 😉) it is now one of the most treasured pieces in my closet.”
Law & Order airs Thursdays at 8 pm ET on NBC, right before Law & Order: Special Victims Unit starring Mariska Hargitay at 9 pm and Law & Order: Organized Crime starring Christopher Meloni at 10 pm.
