A Woman We Love: Elisabeth Rohm

And here she is, Number 14. The 14th person to step into the cast of Law & Order, the Menudo of TV shows. The fourth to step into the role of beautiful-but-cerebral sidekick to Sam Waterston's speechifying lawyer. (Though she is Law & Order's very first blond!)

It's a hallowed Esquire tradition to feature the ladies of Law & Order, and we are not about to ignore precedent. So may we present to you the latest incarnation of Angie-Carey-Jill: the blond, 28-year-old former soap-opera star Elisabeth Rohm.

Some facts about Rohm: She likes eating at steak houses and riding horses (and activity she knows has sexual overtones, so stop smirking). She was on Bull, the TNT Wall Street drama. She likes traveling because it's "sexy" and "good for the soul." She's written an unpublished novel, and she also wants to be the next Spielberg.

She enjoys working with Sam Waterston because "he's very mentally eccentric, and so am I. He's very well educated, and so am I."

Indeed, she's quite grateful for her Sarah Lawrence education: "I can sit and meet a politician. I can talk to doctors, lawyers, people at the UN-- anyone." Lawyers especially. Her father is one.

Which is why she balked when we asked her to tell us her favorite lawyer jokes. Didn't want to offend him. So, instead of a joke, she offered up a law-themed quote from Mae West:

"It ain't no sin to crack a few laws now and then, just so long as you don't break any."
