It’s a Bad Girls Club kind of world and we’re just living in it. Cat
fight youtube videos no longer appall and no one blinks an eye at
girlfriends gossiping about one another. In fact, it’s more commonplace
than not to have a woman proclaim that she just can’t seem to get along
with other females – that she just doesn’t enjoy their company. In this
world of the backstabbing and competitive female stereotype, the
portrayal of two brilliantly educated women in a positive, respectful
friendship is shockingly refreshing. In TNT’s Rizzoli & Isles,
actress Sasha Alexander stars as Maura Isles – one half of the badass,
crime-solving female dynamic duo. “I personally don’t know what I would
do without my female friends,” insists Alexander, noting how the
friendship between the two main characters – medical examiner Maura and
police detective Jane – is essential to the success of the show. Not
only is the healthy relationship of the women a breath of fresh air in a
stagnant TV line-up of distrusting, competitive ones from The Bachelor
to Desperate Housewives, seeing strong, competent women in such gritty
roles injects some much needed girl power in what society views as a
male-driven environment.
This isn’t the first time Alexander has played a self-assertive,
modern woman. Alexander played Special Agent Kate Todd on NCIS, before
leaving the role in 2005 after two years. She returned to television in
2010, finding herself attracted once again to a compelling character of
the epitome of feminine strength. You would be hard pressed to find
anyone complaining.
However, that’s hardly all Alexander as been up to. From appearing in
box-office successes such as Mission Impossible III with Tom Cruise
(2006), Yes Man with Jim Carrey (2008), and 2009’s Love Happens and He’s
Just Not That Into You to raising her two children with husband Edoardo
Ponti, son of the legendary actress Sophia Loren, Alexander has been
busy to say the least. Also a trained dancer, too busy to ever consider
doing something like Dancing with the Stars. “Although, Sophia has been
trying to convince me to do the Italian version,” Alexander laughs.
“She’s hilarious though,” remarks Alexander at the mention of her
mother-in-law. “She’s always making dirty jokes.” Not the one to stand
still for a moment, Alexander is also up to producing some projects of
her own.
On the brink of it’s third season, Rizzoli & Isles has found it’s
footing, with one fascinating storyline after another. “I don’t think
our writers can help being controversial,” she says. But the credit for
the crime drama’s continued success isn’t all due to the writers, of
course. Alexander also tributes the easy, natural chemistry between her
and co-star Angie Harmon. However, Alexander’s dedication to the role –
one that, due to the extensive medical terminology used, requires “hours
of studying” – is something to be admired. It’s tough, notes Alexander.
But, like her character, Alexander’s sharp intelligence is right on
point. How’s that for girl power?
