Angie Harmon

For the topic of this post, I though it would be appropriate to talk about Angie Harmon. There are many things to talk about when it comes to Harmon. From her style and her shoes to the love she has for her family and fans and even that deep, husky voice that anyone can recognize, the possible things to discuss in this post are endless. Who knows where this post will end up in the end, but lets just see how it goes.

Angie Harmon. Whats not to like about her? For starters, she is one funny individual. Anyone with a personality like hers has to have a lot of friends. If you follow her personal account on twitter (yes, it is really her) she says some pretty funny stuff, often followed by a lot of "emoticons" at the end, which just adds character. She also tends to post photos from the set of Rizzoli and Isles, which most of the time deal with what she is wearing. Usually titled "outfit of the day" or "shoe of the day", I, along with many of her followers, cannot wait to see what she has on. Her style is impeccable. 

I have been a fan of Angie Harmon's for a long time, ever since her days as Abbie Carmichael in Law and Order. Its not uncommon for her to be cast as a character involved in law enforcement: Abbie Carmichael, Lindsay Boxer, Jane Rizzoli, and let us not forget her days on Baywatch Nights as Ryan McBride. And that is just her TV roles! She plays these roles, well, very "bad-assly" (and yes I know that's not really a word), and lets face it, Harmon is pretty bad-ass herself. Her deep, husky voice alone works for these roles. And she plays a cop very well, and seems to enjoy her prop guns too! For any role she plays, she brings her own personality into the character. 

From a newspaper editor in Good Advice to a CIA Agent in Agent Cody Banks, her movie roles are pretty diverse. One of my favorite movies that she is in was TV movie. Video Voyeur: The Susan Wilson story, is a true story of one woman's horrific journey involving her peeping-tom neighbor. Harmon, as Susan, portrayed this woman pretty flawlessly. This woman's life was turned upside down when she found out her neighbor had installed cameras in her house and was recording her every move. I can't even begin to imagine what that must fell like, but I got a glimpse of it with Harmon's portrayal of this woman. After watching this movie the first time, I researched Susan's story online and saw what an impact she made. She wasn't afraid to tell her story, no matter how horrific it was, so she could prevent it from ever happening to someone else. Her bravery changed peoples lives, changed the law. Harmon really brought Susan and her story to life and I applaud her greatly for that. If you haven't seen this movie, please do, and you will see what I mean.

Moving on to her family. You probably remember her famous proposal on the Tonight Show. How could you forget it?! It was absolutely adorable and you couldn't help but saying "aww" when Jason Sehorn got down on one knee. (If you haven't seen it, check it out here ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJmwASdf-BE ) Harmon and Sehorn make such a cute couple too, and their three little girls are just adorable! Harmon and Sehorn recently moved their family to Charlotte, North Carolina, far away from the set of Rizzoli and Isles, which means Harmon has to spend time away from her husband and kids just to shoot the series. That is dedication right there. I can't imagine what that must be like. 

Harmon has a name for her fans, she calls then her Twangels, or her Twitter Angels. It is a pretty big fan base. with people making videos dedicated to her, made by her Twangels. Its really sweet and shoes her fans dedication. I, myself, have a Twangel banner on my twitter profile, showing all of my followers I am a proud Angie Harmon fan. She often answers her fans on twitter, and there is nothing more exciting than getting a personal tweet from someone you admire. 

Angie Harmon is an all around fantastic person, dedicated to her family and her work and also to her fans. I really have only just begun with this post, but I fear it is long enough already, I mean, I haven't even talked about her love as NASCAR, or her music video debut, and much much more.  Maybe I will just have to continue this on a later date. We will just have to wait and see. 

But for now, go out and, as Harmon often says on Twitter, make the world a better place. 

Until next time,
