Best Female Cop/P.I. lead character


I'm sure many would go with one of the charlie's angels. I say Anne Francis as Honey West private dick...

...as someone old enough to have watched "The Avengers" when it was new.

As for contempory gals, that Mariska Hargitay, Jayne Mansfield's daughter, has stood the the test of years in "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit".

Stunningly attractive, pure woman (not girl), intelligent, tough as nails, and good thinking. I love all her colleagues as well, but she's my centre point, as I tune in each week.

Great pick, that show was shown in the USA recently. Glad to get some on DVD-R off tv. She has a huge following along with the cult following of the show. Looking at her you can see why. I can't say I knew Jayne Mansfield's daughter was in law and order.

Dear Shaney;

The first & gota be one of the best is;
Angie Dickinson for her role of, Suzanne
'pepper' Anderson in Police Woman (1974-78)
for 91 episodes.

At the time there was an Officer that looked
just like her that worked at Inglewood, PD.

Today; Camerion Diaz is the "hottie" that plays
one of Charlie's Angles and everyone loves the
LAPD Ast. Chief, Kyra Sedgwick.

Happy trails to all...

You can't go wrong with Emma Peel either...nobody wore black leather like Dame Diana Rigg.

I don't know, next to women like Emma Peel, Honey West, and Olivia Benson, Pepper Anderson was kind of a weenie.Pepper Anderson wasn't a weenie in POLICE WOMAN's first season -- but she was certainly de-ovaried by TPTB after that.

Love Mariska.

Pobre de Dios que no sale en revistas, que no es modelo ni artista, o de familia royal...

Is LL in town... no benefits of course... that is dead and buried with a do not ever disturb sign. But i still consider her a friend as strange as that may sound.

Kyra Sedgwick in The Closer. Great crime show, with humor to lighten things up.
