Sharon Gless began acting in movies and TV projects. Her first steady gig, which lasted from 1975 to 1978, was as the kooky secretary on Switch, a private-detective show starring Robert Wagner. But Sharon's big breakthrough came in 1982 in the groundbreaking and award winning women cop show Cagney & Lacey. After Cagney & Lacey was canceled in 1988, Sharon stepped into her second starring role on a TV series, portraying a divorced Beverly Hills attorney in The Trials of Rosie O'Neill. She continues to work for different theatres like the great piece Chapter Two in London's Gielgud Theatre or Cahoots in Chicago, on events like the Gay and Lesbian Pride or season premieres of her new show in Showtime Queer as Folk. Even after Cagney & Lacey - Sharon and Tyne share their wonderful work - for that reason Sharon had a guest role on Judging Amy in 2003. And she still impresses audiences and fans with her raw, believable portrayals of complex women. For example in 2007 as Madeline Westen in Burn Notice or 2008 as Colleen Rose as guest in 3 episodes of Nip/Tuck.
