Career
After returning to the U.S., Catherine decided to try her hand at acting and studied with Milton Katselas at the Beverly Hills Playhouse. She also spent eight years working as a massage therapist at the Peninsula Hotel. Bell made her television debut in 1990 with one line in an episode of the sitcom “Sugar and Spice,” then she guest-starred on “True Colors” in 1991 and acted as Isabella Rossellini’s nude body double in 1992’s “Death Becomes Her.” She then appeared in the TV movies “Mother of the Bride” (1993) and “Alien Nation: Body and Soul” (1995) and the film “Men of War” (1994) and guest-starred on “Dream On” (1994), “Vanishing Son” (1995), “Friends” (1995), and “The Naked Truth” (1995). In 1996, Catherine was cast as Lt. Diane Schonke, a character with three lines, on “JAG.” After NBC cancelled the show, CBS picked it up and restructured it, adding the character of Sarah MacKenzie, a Marine Corps lawyer. Bell auditioned for and won the role, and she played the character until JAG ended in 2005, appearing in more than 200 episodes of the series. In 2019 and 2020, she reprised her role in three episodes of “NCIS: Los Angeles.”
