Thank You Catherine Bell For Sarah MacKenzie

This is the Thank You Board for Catherine for her being Sarah MacKenzie on JAG.

Since JAG is not renewed for a season 11, there will be no more Lt. Col. Sarah MacKenzie to look forward to. Catherine Bell has made her a real person in the past 9 years and therefor, we want to thank her. This board is set up for this purpose.

The Idea: Leave your thank you message here. Don't make it too long since it'll end up on a card.

Once all the messages are here, they'll be printed out and pasted onto a HUGE real 'Thank You' card, send to Catherine Bell in private.

This is the card: Card size(closed)= 22"x16.5"!!!!

Ending date: 22 July 2005

Unofficial Catherine Bell Message Board

Thankyou for just being you -- Melanie Moon, 04:01:12 08/11/05 Thu [1]
Being a 14 year old girl,and starting high school, it's hard to find that inner strengh and independence that many people my age seem to forget about. Mac's charater taught me that trying to be sombody else isnt everything in life. Sometimes accepting who you are and loving everything about you is what is most important. Mac showed me that even if you reach your losest point, you can just stand up and keep reaching higher. Watching JAG has even inspired me to look into a career in law or in the military. JAG has taught so much and has given me so much. I can't think of anything better to say than thankyou, for opening your heart to all of your beloved fans. You protrayed Mac to the best of your ability and i cant imagine anyone else playing such a wonderful character. Good luck in your future endearmeants and best of luck towards your family. You may be forgotten to some, but your role will always hold a place in my heart.

"So where does that leave us?"
"I dont know Mac, at the end i geuss."
"How about at the beginning."

BIG Thanks To Catherine Bell -- Gaby, 01:44:54 08/04/05 Thu [1]
Wow. I dont even know where to start. I just cannot explain in words how much I appreciate all your work and talent that you've given us to experience and enjoy. Those 9 years of JAG could not have been any better. You were definitely the perfect person for the part. I can't picture anyone else doing it. I hope you get many many more amazing roles. I know you can kick butt in every single one that comes at you.You to me are by far,the most amazing actress.As a young teenage girl I look up to you in so many ways. I admire your work greatly and hope I can be half as talented and beautiful as you are someday. Hope I can make a dream come true one day and meet you. Thanks again Catherine. I can't wait to see more amazing work from you.

To a great woman our Catherine Bell -- Patrick, 15:07:50 07/26/05 Tue [1]
In your marvellous career on JAG saga, "Adrift" was the top, your talent takes the dimension of the great actress you are, your tears have called mine, but they don't help you. You have invested all the free alveolus of our heart and all dewdrops of blood, we have, are kidnap by your sensibility. You don't read the script, and you don't play the screenplay, you have just lived the scene with all your heart and all your tears you have. You are "nature", your sentimentality blast on the screen without violence, but with your marvellous sweetest sadness you create.
Your strength is hardly noticeable because your suddenly frailness inundate the screen. You seem alone, never understanding by all you love, now you are very alone. Everybody wants to help you but all disintegrate around you, like the end of your own world.
Chloe sees your disarray before the events you don't controlled anymore, she becomes suddenly adult and you, a little girl who try to do face without success, Chloe is now your refuge, and your eyes sparklinga few seconds, but not enough and you plunge back into your lost dreams.
You are touching our hearts without concession, it is rare now.
No fireworks, no special effects, just you, only you.
I never follow the story of this double episode because you take all the place on the story and I just see your great confusion you create with an undeniable talent you give to us.

Words cannot express -- Daphne Saxton, 04:57:09 07/25/05 Mon [1]
Dearest Ms. Bell,

I cannot begin to explain to anyone all I've gotten from you. When I met you, my life changed for the better. You've touched my family with your generousity. I got the opportunity to get something signed for my uncle (who is battling thyroid cancer) and he almost started to cry when he got it. He's so proud of that autograph. I myself, started to cry when I recieved mail from Austin containing the note and picture from you.

I will continue to watch your career and maybe one day I'll get the amazing opportunity to play your daughter or little sister in a movie or TV show.

Thank you will never even begin to cover it but until a word that does it justice is invented, it'll have to do.

So Thank you, Ms. Bell,
~Daphne Saxton, you're biggest straight female fan

Thank You Catherine... For your amazing and inspiring portrayal of Mac over the past 9 years. Wishing you great success in your future endeavors and will be looking forward to seeing you on TV and/or the Movie Screen again soon. Take Care! -- KH (Kim) :o), 19:27:34 07/22/05 Fri [1]

From Italy -- Mariarita, 16:19:49 07/22/05 Fri [1]
Dear Catherine, I'm excited to be able to send this message to such a wonderful person like you!

Let me thank you for playing Mac for so many years and giving all of us such great memories, as David did. The character you played in Jag was an amazing woman just because you put so much of yourself in Mac! We Italian fans will miss Jag, and above all Mac & Harm, so much!...And speaking of Italy...I'm from Naples and I'm so proud that my city was mentioned quite a few times in the show! hehe ;)
I also heard you love Italy..which makes me even prouder. Well, you can be sure Italy loves you back, Catherine! :)

So, again...thank you so much for everything you've done for us fans, all over the world!
I wish you and your family all the best! May your career be sparkly, as I'm sure it will be!

May God bless you and...

Fair winds and Following Seas!!! :)

Thank you Catherine. -- Heīdie aka Deedee, 14:25:02 07/22/05 Fri [1]
Thank you so much for giving us for 9 years such a wonderful character that was Mac. You gave "her" your strength. As a woman, I certainly appreciated that you portrayed her like that : It gave us a good female role model to follow (as you're of course strong, smart, beautiful and kind). You really made a great job and some episodes gave you the chance to develop more of your acting abilities (I love "the stalker", "take it like a man" or "a 4 percent solution"). You're an amazing actress.
As I am sad the JAG is no more, I will follow your career and hope that you'll have plenty of proposition as you deserve. Now I wish you all the best for the future, for your career and for your family (maybe more time to be with Adam and Gemma).

Again thank you and see you soon on the screen (TV or movies)

Thank you, Catherine! -- Dawn in Florida, 03:23:41 07/22/05 Fri [1]
Thank you for bringing a dynamic, caring and very believable Sarah MacKenzie to our television screen for nine years. I liked JAG from the beginning, but when Mac shook hands with Harm in the Rose Garden, I knew this show was going to be something special. Everyone in the JAG family has become special to me, but you have the place of honor in my Jag heart. Beautiful, intelligent, take charge, sexy, loyal, tough yet vulnerable - as Mac, the Marine lawyer, you were all these things, and we fans related to you through your failures and your triumphs. We watched you grow both in the Mac role and as an actress. Both "The Four Percent Solution" and "Persian Gulf" were award winning performances, and we are proud of you.
It's been a pleasure to have watched all the JAG characters and episodes, and I will miss not seeing new episodes in the fall. But it has been a wonderful run, and all shippers will have many beautiful memories. I pray many good things are in store for you and your family, and I will be following the continuation of your career. Semper Fi, Mac, and good luck, Catherine!

Thank you Catherine! Semper Fi Mac! -- Michaela aka Michi, 22:15:32 07/21/05 Thu [1]
Dear Catherine!

Thank you so much for everything youve given us these past nine years.

The character Sarah MacKenzie was and still is very special to me and I already miss her and the show JAG very much. Youve done an amazing job in all these years, and for that Im very grateful.

Im going to miss you but Im also looking forward to seeing you in other projects. Ive heard that youre thinking about doing a sitcom I think thats an awesome idea and hopefully soon this dream will come true!!!

I wish you and your family all the best. Enjoy the free time with Adam and your beautiful little girl Gemma.

You will always have a special place in my heart.

Love,

A Special "Thank You" -- CMDR. Tom, 20:56:45 07/21/05 Thu [1]
Ms. Bell:

As I look down through this Thank You board it is amazing how one character on one TV show has touched so many lives at so many different levelsand globally. It is a testament to the fact that given the right drive of producers, and the actors giving totally of themselves, to portray a character with such devotion, that those lives they touch can have such a profound impact; to the positive. You have had that distinct affect on so manyand not just on women. I see that impact on men as well.

Earlier this year, when it became official that DJE was leaving the JAG show, I expressed how each actor obviously brings a part of themselves into the character they develop. It is also obvious that you have done the same thing. It shows in the character you have developed, and is complemented by how you conduct your personal life as well.

I had not been introduced to your Mac character until around the time of September 11, 2001. However, prior to that I remember seeing you in the TV movie Cab to Canada. What struck me at the time was that you had a certain quality that, for me, was similar to Maureen OHara. You seemed to be such a complement to her. Perhaps it was the energy and fullness you bring to your characters.

I am one who seldom watches TV. I find it hard to watch when so many programs are so demoralizing and lack a quality that is positive in its nature. However, when I started watching JAG in 2001, I was intrigued and impressed. And over the last 4 years I saw your character as real. Having served in the Navy myself, as an officer, I watched how both you and DJE presented your characters. To say that you did those characters justice is an understatement. The positive approach that you helped develop that reflects the Marine Corp will have lasting affects far beyond the shows end. There are young people entering the Navy and Marine Corp today because of youand your character. And I say your character because you developed that character with those specific attributes. Some of these people are even entering other branches of the service for the same reason. And some are looking to be JAG lawyers. What a legacy you leave with these people, as well as with some us who have already been there. The honor, integrity and respect you brought to the show, easily made you the unofficial spokesperson for the Marine Corp.

I hope we see you often in the future. Many thousands of us would like to see TV movies of follow ups of the JAG story. You and DJE have such an on screen chemistry that is such a reminder of other dynamic screen couples of past years. But, no matter what, it will be a pleasure to follow your career.

Finally, Thank You to you and your family for the sacrifices you have made to bring us the memories you helped to create. While I relate more to the character DJE created, I have many friends who are marines and they relate to the character you created. Maybe someday we will meet so I can salute you personally and say, thank you. Till thenThank You. We salute you! Hoorah!!

Thank You Catherine for 'MAC' -- Dani, 20:12:38 07/20/05 Wed [1]
Thank you Catherine for these wonderful nine years of "MAC" and for all those inspiring momets you and your character gave us for the last 9 years!!
Although I did not really care about season 1 after accidently catching "We the People" while channel surfing it quickly became my absolute favorite and an indispensable part of my week.
Remembering some of Mac and Harms adventures made revising for international public law so much more interesting.

Wishing you all the best in the future, and looking forward to seeing you on screen again very soon.
Can`t wait for your new projects.

Thank you for 9 of the greatest TV viewing years of my life. Thank you for bringing Mac to life in such a way that I always felt she was my friend. Thank you, too for the hospitality you showed myself and my family when we visited the set and met you, (January 7, 2002). You are a warm, special and truly nice person. Thank you for Sarah MacKenzie! She will be missed! I am looking forward to seeing you in other roles.

Catherine, I'am extremely proud to be able to send this note for you. You're down to earth and honest. Your warmth and sparkling personality is what draws us to you. You once wrote " Sometimes as actors we go to work everyday & do our thing and we forget the impact we can create." The impact that Mac had on the show was just awesome. I most of all want to thank you for a great nine years.

Thank you for coming in the lives of your fans once a week. The talent and passion you have for eveything you do will always be with each of us.

Through you Web-Site we have been able to meet a most amazing person. We have meet some great fans and have made some great friends. So from as you know one of you devoted fans I wish you, Adam Gemma the best in life and I know I see you again in the movies.

Thank you Catherine for nine wonderful years of "Mac." I briefly watched the first season of JAG but didn't get hooked until Mac showed up. Harm and Mac made us laugh, made us cry, made us angry but most of all made us love you. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. I will always have fond memories of JAG.

Thanks to Catherine Bell -- anthony c. collins, 16:57:04 07/16/05 Sat [1]
Catherine: I want to thank you for the years of hard work you put into creating Sarah MacKenzie. You made her into into a real person and JAG fans will never forget her. I can't imagine that you will ever have a better part -- but I look forward to seeing what's next for you. Again, many thanks and I wish you and your family the very best. cheers, tony collins

[Never forget] -- Grace [from Santa Monica,California], 04:28:37 07/16/05 Sat [1]
You are the high point of Jag for me and even ask my boyfriend.He's nuts about you too. Good thing we share the same TV obsession,he drools for you and Im in love with Harm. For us both you are a winning,flawed but lovable character. A true heroine and role model. You make us believe that no matter how tough life will be there's always light ahead of our grim days and tears.
We're also rejoicing that our topsy turvy experience with Harm and Mac was rewarded and its about time they did because fans deserve to be happy right along with Harm and Mac. You're always in our hearts.

Thank you for 9 years of Mac! -- JAGster, 02:41:33 07/16/05 Sat [1]
Catherine, I would like say thanks for giving us Mac. I didn't become addicted to JAG until "Adrift", but I haven't missed a moment of it since and have caught up on what I did. I'd also like to thank you for the friends I've made through your old message board. Best wishes for whatever the future holds for you!

Thank You, Catherine! -- Barb Pryor, 05:39:29 07/15/05 Fri [1]
I have enjoyed each episode of JAG throughout its run, but after the "Rose Garden", You had me hooked. I will always enjoy watching the DVD's that I have and also watching on any station that shows the program. You were wonderful as Mac, and gave all of us women a hero to whom we could look up. What a joy! You kept Harm on the straight and narrow and made it look easy. It was wonderful. Forever more, you will be on my favorite list of actors, and I will watch whatever you are in. My best wishes to you and your family as your life heads in a new direction. God Bless you. Barb

Thank you just doesn't seem to be enough. I mean...nine years on a show is a long time. And in thoes nine years you managed to touch the lives of millions of people at least once. Who knows how many young girls became female Marines because of you. Or decided to become lawyers all because you presented a strong and positive female influence. I think its totally awesome that you continued the show after having your baby and that you managed to find a way to balance a career and motherhood. So thank you and I look foward to future projects!

Thank you for Mac, Catherine... -- Amber, 02:01:40 07/15/05 Fri [1]
Though you just played the character on TV, you brought such a strong-willed, determined woman to life through so many people's eyes and made me believe that I could be like that too. I was 9 years old when you first appeared as Sarah MacKenzie on JAG and I have always considered her to be a great role model, so much so that I'm actually joining the Navy--sorry, no Marines for me. You've really done a fantasic job and I don't think anyone could have portrayed her nearly as well as you.

Thank you for the memories, the smiles, and the courage to grab what was once thought to be out of reach.

Thank you, Catherine! -- Aly Andrews, 23:38:24 07/14/05 Thu [1]
Thanks so much for your amazing work portraying Mac for nine unforgettable seasons! You're such a great role model and are really a beautiful person inside and out. I'll miss Mac immensely, but I am also looking forward to seeing you in future roles. Thanks again, from the bottom of my heart!

Thank you Catherine -- Lyndsey Balfe, 23:02:20 07/14/05 Thu [1]
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your many years as Sarah MacKenzie. I'm truly sad not to be able to watch Mac and Harm's weekly adventures anymore. But i'm happy i got to watch your character for 9 years. It was fantastic to be able to watch such a strong woman character on T.V. you have been such a role model and i want to wish you all the best in the future.

Thank You! This was the most awesome show I have, and will ever, watch. I loved your role as Mac. You are, and forever will be, my favorite actress! God Bless, and I look forward to seeing you in other roles! -- Lyndsey Androstic, 21:26:06 07/14/05 Thu [1]

Thank you so much for nine wonderful seasons of JAG. There was always a good reason to turn the TV on, on JAG nights. I can't wait to find new reasons to become addicted to a new TV show, as long as we have a chance to admire what a wonderful actress you are. Thank you very much! -- Katerie, from Montréal, Canada, 20:42:42 07/14/05 Thu [1]

Thank you Catherine for being Mac and making her real. I've enjoyed you and David for all those wonderful years and wish there were more to come. But I loved the last seven and a half minutes and am happy for Harm and Mac together at last. I would so enjoy a romantic movie with the two of you in the near future. Is there any chance? You are a wonderful actor and I think you can do any role that comes along with your great talent. David, too. Best of luck to you both in whatever you choose to do. -- DAR, 20:21:20 07/14/05 Thu [1]

Catherine: I want to join the other faithful JAG fans in thanking you for the years of hard work you put into creating the character Sarah MacKenzie. You made an indelible impression on us all and you were an inspiration to young women considering a military career. I can't imagine that you will ever have a better role -- but I hope you do and I will always follow your career with great interest. Thanks again and the very best of good luck in the future. cheers, tony collins

Thank You Catherine for many years as Mac -- Mckesha A. (Memphis, TN), 19:33:06 07/14/05 Thu [1]
Words can not express I much I have enjoy you as Mac. You show us that not only she could be the tough marine but she is a woman and even though we did not always she at best it made me feel like she was a human being and that she could handle any problems that may come her way. What you and David had on-screen will forever change me as person. I can remember I was going through a rough time in life and seeing you and David on tv not only may my day but it showed me that everything will workout in the end. Oh one more I remember the time in Season five when Harm and Mac where both up for promotions and my mom had already picked Mac as the one to the position (similes) Best Wishes in all of your future projects and maybe we will you and David together in future!

Thank You Catherine -- Lois, 18:50:21 07/14/05 Thu [1]
Catherine, thank you so much for your part in JAG. I never have been so intriged by a show before. You and David James Elliott made the characters come alive to so many. I learned so much about the military and honor that is still there even when we don't see it much around us.

All the best to you in all your endeavors in the future. JAG will never be forgotten and your part will live on.

Thank you Catherine for 9 wonderful years of Jag. I will miss it, but wish you luck on your future projects. I will always be a fan of yours. You are an a wonderful actress and even more great of a person. Thanks for being so sweet to me the 2 years I've seen you in person. You & Adam are wonderfully nice. I'll never forget the kindness shown. As you thought, we loved the finale, I'm sad it's over, but it was a great 10 years. I'm grateful for the great friends I've met because of Jag and for the memories. Take care and good luck in the future. You're the best! -- Carla Kay, 02:07:39 07/14/05 Thu [1]

Thank you so much -- Shamima, 22:11:16 07/13/05 Wed [1]
Ms. Bell,
Thank you so much for your continuous portrayal as Mac on JAG. JAG has been my favorite show for years, ever since I watched it as a little girl with my father. Now I myself am a fan and you have always been my favorite character.
If I can be one tenth of what you made your character as Mac to be -strong, independent, loving, powerful, witty, smart, beautiful- (I could go on and on), then I will be a very complete and inspirational figure, just as you have been to me.
Thank you for everything you have done on JAG. I cried so much during the last two episodes of the series, not just because I was sad that it was all ending after 10 years, but because I was so happy. Love like between Mac and Harm is hard to come by - the characters were so lucky to have each other all of those years and to finally admit it aloud in the end. I'm sure you made countless fans very happy.
Thank you for everything. I will always watch the reruns and remember.
With gratitude and love,
Shamima

Mac is the best -- Brenda, 03:27:26 07/13/05 Wed [1]
Harm and Mac is what made me tune in every week to the show but for me personally because your journey really touched me it was your partnership and addition to the series that Jag found its way. Before it was all techno action Jag but when Mac came you gave it the human and realistic touch.
There was something to it and especially your friendship and relationship with Harm.
With your skills,talents,beauty,heart and brains you dont need the luck but hey take some anyway and our prayers go with you too.

We wish you the best ALWAYS,
Brenda Cooper

Thank you Catherine for your wonderful portrayal of Mac. I will miss seeing you play this character week in and week out. You made Mac come alive for me.

Thank You, Catherine B -- McBunky, 18:02:59 06/14/05 Tue [1]
We will always appreciate the commitment you gave to JAG for our entertainment & for making Mac one of the BEST characters that TV has ever had. You are an amazing actress, capable of ALL the human emotions that will make us miss Mac so much and 9 years seem SO short. Thank you so much and may your life always be filled with Love & Happiness!

We love you,Catherine! -- Marsha, 06:17:23 06/12/05 Sun [1]
You deserve an award for Best female breakthrough performance in Jag or even an Emmy recognition. As my sister said we owe it all to you that we got so hooked on the show. Harm and Mac got us hook too.
We're so inspired by the plethora of your amazing performances every season. Good and lackluster script you always bring magic to them.
Congratulations and good luck,sincerely sent,warmly felt and deeply meant.

I just want to extend my thanks to you for 9 *wonderful* years as Sarah "Mac" MacKenzie on the series JAG. I became an obsessed fan after you joined the show-you and David have an on-screen chemistry that is unmatched by any other actors/actresses out there today. You are a beautiful woman, and I look forward to following your career as you move on to other projects. Best of luck always in whatever you choose to do!

Our love -- Korby, 22:31:34 06/07/05 Tue [1]
My family is thankful for you because its really your character,Harm and their relationship that we like in the show. When Jag has mishap stories you always give us a reason to cling to the show. Your character made us laugh,cry,strong,motivated,angry, you made us feel many emotions and face the wheel of life.
We're doing the snoopy celebratory dance that Harm and Mac are happy and making their way to the altar.If only we saw more and got a CBS Jag movie. You're a big part to the show's glory and pride to our troops, its also a grieving process for us because we will miss Mac.
Mac will always stay in our hearts and memories.

I wanted to add by thank you. I believe that you made the writers look good. When the script may have been so-so or bad, you did a good job. Most of the time the writers gave you good stuff and you showed us some of the best acting on TV. JAG wasn't a must see show until Mac came on board. Thanks again! Semper Fi !!!!

We miss you -- Ally Y., 20:21:03 05/27/05 Fri [1]
Even Jag facing some challenges in the show I stayed on mainly because of Mac. Of all the cast I think you're character is the one that is Emmy worthy.
April 29 made my sister's birthday so cheerful and hopeful.
Harm and Mac added so much joy to her birthday so we are very grateful. Here's to a whole new beginning to you and loving wishes to a bright future.

I love Mac in so many ways. I watched Jag throughout my highschool years so I grew up with this show and you know how tough it is growing up so I can truly relate with the struggles of Mac. Ofcourse how can I not love Harm and Mac?
I will pray for you and I know you will do great in real life and your tv-movie future.

Thanks for the wonderful nine years in Jag. With all the busy Tivoing there will be none like you. It will be hard to find and hard to get another show obsession because while there are many great shows to choose from quality and class is very rare.
I will always remember my mom and brother saying not to disturb them because their Mac is on.
Wishing you all the best!

Cathrine,
I was a fan from the first handshake to the last scene.
Thanks for all the memories. I think one thing that escapes many people is that you were playing a character older than you actually were. You played her with great insight and dignity.

Catherine, for 9 years of powerful performances on JAG. You managed to artfully portray a multi-dimensional character that viewers couldn't help but root for, and love. Mac was a character who's strength, intellect, humanity, and passion are inspirational to real people, in real life. You and David James Elliot were the reasons for the success of JAG, and your characters will be missed. I wish you both continued success in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Jennifer D. Winick

Thank you, Catherine, for nine wonderful years as Mac on JAG. You and David brought the characters of Mac and Harm to life and your on-screen chemistry attracted many fans over the years. These characters will be very much missed. I've never become so addicted to a show as I was to JAG. Although the last season was somewhat disappointing and disjointed with the addition of superfluous characters, the ending was wonderful. Many thanks to you, David, and everyone involved, for giving viewers the ending that we so long had hoped for. You are a wonderful actor and have given fans many happy hours with your portrayal of Sarah MacKenzie. Best Wishes for a long and happy career!

[Edit]
Thank you so much for the way you portrayed Mac on JAG. Sometimes you made me smile, sometimes you made me laugh, some times to make cry, and sometimes you made me think. I enjoyed so much watching you peel away the layers of Mac's character. From the first episode that I saw, Mac was my favorite, and by extension so are you. Some of your performances just blew me away. Thank you for sharing your talents with us, I wish you well in the future and will follow your career. -- Theresa, 21:48:34 05/16/05 Mon [1]

Catherine, thank you so much for you portrayal of Sarah MacKenzie the last nine years.

You have been a joy to watch since I first watched the awkward handshake in the Rose Garden.

You gave Sarah MacKenzie a grace and strength of purpose that outshined all the other female leads of other television shows. Most of all, you made me a believer in your character, and provided me with funny, sad, and heartfelt moments as I watched the show each week.

Many thanks for the years of enjoyment. And I wish you all good things in the future, wherever that may take you.

Congrats & GoodLuck -- Beth, 18:47:31 05/09/05 Mon [1]

Thank you for an amazing nine years. Although I am sad to see the end of JAG, I know all good things must come to an end. I have enjoyed watching Mac grow from season to season. Sarah "Mac" Mackenzie has been an incredible role model. Looking forward to seeing you return to another TV series in the near future. Kick back, relax and enjoy time with your family.

A Farewell to Arms - thank you! -- Zodie Sheridan, 08:15:10 04/30/05 Sat [1]
JAG has been my favorite show ever since I first saw it on NBC. When Mac's character first came on the scene and I saw the chemistry between Catherine Bell and David James-Elliott, I knew it would be a hit. Over the years, both of your characters have grown and continued to represent the best in people and the military. My husband has become a JAG fan since we married three years ago and he comes from a military family (Vietnam era), so there's a special bond for him. We TiVo JAG and watch it every Saturday morning. Sometimes, though, I have to watch it on Friday night, then hit it again on Saturday morning for the second time - it just gets better! Thanks for all the memories and the emotional roller-coaster; I've loved every minute of it! I just finished watching the finale and it will not be erased!!! Best wishes to both of you in the future - I know it will bring great things. I would be remiss to not say that I hope the future will also bring JAG movie specials! Fridays will never be the same...

[Edit]
Thank you Catherine for your stellar portrayal of Mac. I cannot fully express my gratitude to you for bringing us a character who is both strong and vulnerable. What I want to thank you most for is portraying a woman, who though she was dealt a crummy hand and coupled it with mistakes of her own, chose to be a survivor. When faced with issues such as Mac endured, ,many have chosen to become victims versus fighting back. The adage, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" personifies, in my opinion, Mac's strength. Thanks again for nine years of JAG and Sarah MacKenzie. May all of your future endeavors be sucessful. Best wishes! -- Cristina Samuels, 03:14:05 04/30/05 Sat [1]

Dear Catherine,

Not only you entertained us but also touched our lives and brought inspiration. You brought layers to Mac despite the unfair writing of the show and many caring for Mac so much means you did a fantastic job for the character and its also testament to your genius performance.
As for your chemistry with Mr.Elliott its also my main reason Im staying tubed this long on Jag. DB and Co.are insane not to take advantage of that.
We pray for many blessings for you and your family and I know you are onto better and bigger things in life.
God bless you and SemPer FI Mac & Harm!!!

P.S. my 9 year old nephew loves Mac. He's now saying Mac and Harm will smack smack -- he meant the series ending.
Its no stretch many young and old guys love you.LOL!

From the first handshake to the last kiss...

From screams of joy watching Lifeline and Fair Winds to screams of frustration watching Adrift II and A Tangled Webb II..

You drew us into Mac's life -- made her real -- made her our friend-- and, in the process, made all of us grow to admire and love the actress behind her.
You don't know many of us personally, but you have touched all of us in some way.

We will miss our JAG. We will miss you. Thank you for honoring us with nine great years and we look forward to many, many more.

God bless and Best Wishes...

Thank YOU for giving us Sarah MacKenzie! -- Claudia B ( = CB/Choebs), 19:29:51 04/26/05 Tue [1]
Dearest Catherine,

I don't know where to start to thank you for bringing Mac in our lives. It's because of this character that we met worldwide, how we befriended each other and how we lived alongside with Lt. Col. MacKenzie, went through her highs, her lows. Your persona made this character real and shine. I can't think of anyone else who had been able to do this. 9 Years is a long time and it will be forever a part of me. It's because of Mac I am still here. Harm and Mac made my life so much nicer in those tough moments. Harm and Mac were those who kept JAG alive for me. You and David need a big hug for your devoted work over the years. And you, especially you, another one for giving me something to keep myself busy with. LOL. Before JAG I didn't know you but now I am glad I do. You are true Jewel, a perfect addition in this world.
I'll be looking forward to seeing you in your next project. I am counting on you.
Thank You..for being Mac!
Love, Claudia B, aka Choebe

if it wasn't for the hard work of it's Cast & Crew of stars JAG wouldn't have run for 10 years.

Thank You Cathrine for 9 seasons of wonderful work on JAG. It is so refreshing to see a strong female character on television. As a young woman I have been inspired by your portrayal of Mac. I come from a family of Marines, and you would make any Marine proud. Semper Fi.

Dear Catherine: -- Acer from Taiwan (Formely from Illinois), 05:21:35 04/22/05 Fri [1]

Before I start, let me warn you that this is going to be a long message!! You are no doubt a very special star in the somewhat ugly Hollywood world!!! :):)

First of all, I would like to expression my appreciation for your wonderful work on JAG. JAG is really more than a TV show for me. Harm and Mac have touched my heart deeply in a way that nothing else did!! It was you and David that made the show so special!! BRAVO!! It has been amazing to see how you grew as an actress over the years!! Every time, I thought Ą§WOWĄ¨ this must be CatherineĄĻs best performance to date. You wound soon prove me wrong with a new episode!! Recently, your performance in Ą§4% solutionĄ¨ just made me speechless!! :::THUMBs UP:::

Secondly, I would like to thank you for your website and message boards!! I discovered your site in September, 2001 and visited the message boards regularly until the very end.

I met many wonderful and interesting people there!! I had many many fun memories with the MBs!! I was going through a very difficult time at graduate school then. My online friends from the MBs helped me to go through the tough time. I eventually overcame the problems and finished my degree in 2003. I was very grateful. I almost listed your name in the acknowledgement in my dissertation LOLOLOL. So, here it is the BIG BIG THANK YOU that I have been wanting to say to you!!!

Also, thank you for taking time to write to us. It has been fun to read your messages (I LOLOL at many of your comments)!! It felt like messages from a lovely friend! I do not think there are too many stars that wound do the same thing for their fans. For that, you are truly special!!

Finally, I wish you the best in your future projects. I look forward to see you in different characters!!

God bless you and your family!! :)

Thank You Catherine -- Donna Lavin, 08:10:18 04/21/05 Thu [1]
My husband started watching JAG and I never got into it until you came on board. You and DJE are a perfect match and made the show worth watching. I thing your a beautiful actress with a lot of talent. I never had a passion for a show as much as JAG because of you and DJE. Randy, Patrick, Tiner, Kerri, & John Jackson were the best! I cannot stop watching the re-runs. I am sadden the show is ending, but after this season of writing I think it is best since DB insisted that you and DJE not get together. All the fans were tired of the teasing. It would have been wonderful if he gave us what most of us wanted you and DJE together and it would have gone on for at least two more years with class. I now could only look forward to seeing you on screen and hope that you and DJE can do a movie together. THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!

Dear Ms. Bell,

Thank you very much for being such a strong role model for young women like myself. Through Mac, you've shown that a hard-working woman can rise above her circumstances to become strong and still not lose her essence as a woman. Good luck to you and your family. Know that your JAG fans will follow you thoughout your future.

Catherine,

I would like to say Thank You so much for your 9 year portrayal of Mac. You are the reason I started watching Jag and the reason I've stuck with it. You've done such an amazing job bringing Mac to life each week and It's been amazing watching you grow as an actress. Without you I wouldn't have watched Jag to begin with and your portrayal reeled me in. I know you will go on to achieve great success now that Jag has ended both in TV and the Big Screen. I wish you nothing but the best for both you and your family and Good Luck on all of your future endeavors. Please keep your fans posted on what you've got going on and coming out on either the Small Screen or the Big Screen so we can follow your success.

For Miss Bell -- Faith and Michael, 22:33:50 04/19/05 Tue [1]
You did so much more as Mac. I can relate to your character the most because I had a rough childhood with my parents passing away when I was only 12. So I pretty much grew up right away and took responsibility of my two younger sisters. I could not have done without my grandma and God.
Your hardships and struggles were an inspiration and I know many service men and women share this struggles too.
Ofcourse what spiked my love for Jag too is your relationship with Harm.I love them both.
Our heart holds our love and prayers to you and your family and wishing you success in all you do.

Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
I can't thank you enough for the wonderful years of happiness you have brought into my life for portraying the character of Sarah "Mac" MacKenzie.
You are not just an actor but an inspiration, too. Better add that as your occupation. :D
I hope to see you on the big screen.

Catherine ... THANKS -- Gloria, 06:42:41 04/18/05 Mon [1]
In the early years of WWII ('41-'45), I was an elementary school girl whose fondest dream was to be a Marine ... but "girls didn't do that." Thank you, Catherine, for letting me live vicariously through your excellent portrayal of Mac. I have been with you and JAG through all the years you were there ... watching you grow as an actress, proud of you as a person who displays integrity in both your personal and professional life. WELL DONE!! At least I have my tapes ... every episode. I do hope to see you in other roles, preferably in another series where you can develop another character as well as you did Mac.

Thank you again, and have a great life!!
Gloria (grandma from Texas).

Thank you -- Cherrie, 00:45:54 04/18/05 Mon [1]
Catherine,
I have enjoyed watching you through out the years. One of my favorites episodes was when Mac went to see her dying father because of the range of emotions you expressed that was different than Mac's normal level-headed behavior. I hope the future brings your family and career happiness and success, and that I will still see you on the screen.

[Edit]
Thanks Catherine -- Deb-Ankeny IA, 21:36:28 04/17/05 Sun [1]

Goodbye to Mac -- Stephanie, 00:57:10 04/17/05 Sun [1]
The first time I watched JAG, I was entranced by this incredible female role model named Mac. I loved the way she passionately fought for justice in the court room, and her strong personality. I started watching JAG when I was only 13 years old, but Mac was an inspiration to me to work hard so I can one day have a career like hers. Thank you Catherine for being Mac for 10 great years. You are the first actress I've had respect for, and to me you'll always be number one.

Much love,
Stephanie

Hey Catherine, I just wanted to say thanks for all of your hardwork, integrity, and showing that woman CAN move up in a man's world. You have inspired me to join the USMC, and I hope that I will be a kick-ass no nonsence Marine Colonel, like you play on JAG. You've showed me as well as all of the other fans that you can come out of a bad life, and make your own.

Thanks, and I wish you luck in your future career.
*WE LOVE YOU!!*

Your portrayal of Mac was enjoyable to watch week after week. It was so obvious and clear that you put 100% into your role each week. I have so many favorite Mac scenes that it is hard to say which was my favorite scene...but I can definitely say the scenes in the episode 4% Solution were sad, heart wrenching, and amazing--your acting is superb and beautiful to watch. I, and your millions of other fans will miss you, David James Elliott, and the rest of JAG. Thank you for being a part of such a quality and well written show. Good luck with your future projects! Semper Fi Marine :)
