“Someone said to me that TV is the new independent film for
women,” says the 44-year-old actress (A History of Violence). In
the NBC police procedural Prime Suspect, a remake of
the acclaimed
British series, Bello—who was on ER for
one season before her
movie career took off—returns to
the network to reprise the
hardened detective that Helen Mirren fashioned into a feminist icon.
“For me, it wasn’t about going back to TV so much
as that I
really took to this character,” explains Bello.
“I like to
say I’m walking in Helen Mirren’s shoes.”
