Ally McBeal premiered

September 8, 1997 –


We got to meet the people who worked at the Boston law firm Cage and Fish when Fox TX aired Ally McBeal for the first time on this date.

Lara Flynn Boyle auditioned to play Ally. Although she didn’t win the role, David E. Kelley liked her so much that he wrote the character of Helen Gamble on The Practice just for her. She also appeared in an episode in the last season as a different character.
