Steven wrote the pilot for L A Law he remembered Greene and cast her without an audition Your character on LA Law has undergone a dramatic evolution over the past few years hasnt she A She went from being this mouse- burger to a powerhouse attorney who doesnt take guff from anybody A recent magazine article claimed you went into the producers office and demanded that Abby Per kins not be such a wimp A That article sounded like Ive spent years storming into Steven office saying I want this and I want that which is not what happened I just dont have that kind of clout Your costar Richard once told me that real lawyers come up to him and start discussing very legal points Has that hap pened to you A Once in a while but mostly it happens to Richard because his char acter is such a patriarch and has such a tremendous amount of authority Once In a while Til be at a lawyers function they like to bring us in for color now and then and some law yer will ask me a question only a law yer would understand I just give him a blank stare What do you think of attorneys in real life A I respect them I didnt use to I respect attorneys didnt use to But Ive come to realize its a terrifically

MAIN ST S 8773388 A I think so really loved having my character leave the firm It gave me the opportunity to handle gritty cases that wouldnt come walking through the door of a ritzy law firm like the one on LA Law But it was bard to keep coming up with story lines for someone who wasnt at the firm- They couldnt tie me into scenes with the other charac ters because there was no dramatic reason for me to be Q As part of your evolution youve become more glamorous and now have a power hair style A I looked at clips from the first season and ended up laughing on the floor at how horrible I looked I
