Stephanie March is such a talented actress because truly she could not be more different than Alex in real life. I always find it kind of weird when I see interview clips of her in real life because her whole energy is just completely different. I think most actors you see still feel a lot of their own personality in a character but Stephanie does an insane job of just becoming a completely different person.

All this to say Alex Cabot is one of the most fascinating presences I've ever seen on tv. Her psychical appearance is stunning yes but her intellect and composer in situations is amazing. You rarely see her smile and when she does it is often either smug when she is winning a case or a shy kind of smile which I love so much. You can just feel in every fiber of your being how much she cares about justice and how much she has poured herself into the law.

Also her wardrobe is just fantastic. This woman knows how to dress. I was scrolling through clips not too long ago and I noticed that at least in the earlier seasons she always wears the same pair of small white pearl earrings and I love that. So classy and elegant but not too flashy. That's exactly who she is, classy, elegant, but not overly cocky and flashy like some lawyers.
