Behind the Scenes Biographies


Katharine Bentley - Costume Designer

"All of the clothes used by the actors on the show are not designed by her, though. Maggie's (Janine Turner) and Shelly's (Cynthia Geary) clothes definitely are--right down to Shelly's earrings. While talking with Katharine, she gave a suggestion and final approval to a staff member for a pair of earrings Shelly will wear in a future episode about an environmental problem. One was a miniature bag of garbage, the other a trash can. "Shelly's earrings always reflect one of the two story lines in each show," Katharine noted, 'and so do her tights.'" (Article)
