Sela Ward has been gracing our TV screens since the mid '80s, when she started cropping up on series like Hotel, L.A. Law, Night Court, and the short-lived Emerald Point, N.A.S., on which she played the role of Hilary Adams for all 22 episodes of the naval show's run.
Even if you can't place Ward's face from one of these early stints, TV fans who grew up in the '90s will likely remember her enduring run as Teddy Reed on the network drama Sisters, which ran from 1991 to 1996. Teddy was one of the titular siblings, alongside Alex (Swoosie Kurtz), Georgie (Patricia Kalember), and Frankie (Julianne Phillips). The four sisters from Winnetka, Illinois each represent different archetypes, with Reed's Teddy holding down the fort as the earthy free spirit who took off for California until family tragedy lured her back to Illinois.
Sisters proved popular on NBC, and by the time it ended Sela Ward was a household name, ready to move on to even bigger television projects.
