I just love, or as she would say in her butter-thick Adlanna accent, “lurrrrve” Brenda Leigh Johnson. That’s Deputy Chief Johnson of the LAPD’s priority homicide department to you, or as she’s also known, The Closer. Strict yet compassionate, she’s always polite (unless provoked): her favourite expression is “thank you, thank you so murch” and she only occasionally has to use it sarcastically…
Personifing the expression ‘iron fist in a velvet glove’ she always gets the job done, with only the odd freak-out about her personal life with boyfriend Fritz (the easy-on-the-eye Jon Tenney, aka Teri Hatcher’s ex-husband.) Storylines are always quirky, the LA sun stopping the gruesome murders being too depressing. Unpredictable, witty and stylish – that’s Brenda and the programme she features in. And fact fans might like to know that she’s played by Kyra Sedgewick, star of stage and screen and wife of Mr Kevin Bacon (bet she kills at that ‘six degrees of…’ game).
Anyway, in tomorrow’s fun and murder-packed show… well, carry on over the cut to find out:
…Pieces of an ‘adult film’ star are found in a dumpsters, and the murder has to be ‘pieced together’.
Don’t miss it!

At first I simply hated this programme, Kyra, thick accent and all. Now, I’m totally addicted and want it to go on and on forever. I laugh, I cry but most of all, I’m entertained. Yay for Brenda Leigh!! Hey, I didn’t know she was married to KB – another of my faves.
