Angie Harmon may be a crack detective on her new series Women’s Murder Club, but her tough talk is no match for her 4-year-old. “My oldest, Finley, has just become a picky eater and she refuses to eat dinner,” Angie tells Rachael. “Every night at dinner is a fight.” She’s a big contrast to her younger daughter, Avery, 2, who will eat anything. “She’ll eat a chair,” Harmon jokes.
Rachael couldn’t wait to ask Angie about the night when her now-husband, retired pro football player Jason Sehorn popped the question on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. “Do you just get stopped constantly even today?”
“Absolutely,” Angie says. “Literally people everywhere on the streets would stop us. The garbage guys would drive by and go ‘Way to go Sehorn!’”
Rachael also tries to get Angie to reveal details about upcoming episodes of her ABC series, which she describes as a mix of a suspense show and Sex and the City. “There’s a serial killer, there’s an ex-husband so there’s all sorts of sexual tension,” Angie says. “Each character has their own little lives and their own little problems and we’re all girlfriends." Her character is great at her job but horrible at her life. "And so she depends on these women to just kind of keep lifting her up,” Angie explains.
Just like her character, in real life she's worked to find a balance between her career and her personal life, which includes volunteer work with The Alliance for Children’s Rights to help foster children who need support, but are too old for adoption. “It's basically for the kids who have graduated out. They don’t get adopted so now they’re 18, they’re set out into the world, they don’t know how to fill out job applications, they don’t know how to cook, they don’t know how to do anything. It’s all these things that your parents taught you," Angie explains. She says she first got involved to help them celebrate Thanksgiving. "We go and Rachael helps us every year, it's so wonderful … we teach them how to cook."
