Téa Leoni | Madam Secretary

Although her parents didn’t have careers in the entertainment industry, with her father being a lawyer and mother being a nutritionist, Téa Leoni eventually pursued an acting career, following in the footsteps of her relatives, Helenka Pantaleoni and Hank Patterson. Her first stint in the scene came in 1988 when she landed a part in Angels 88, another variant of the Charlie’s Angels show. It was never released, but that wasn’t enough to stop the actress.

After a couple of roles on the small screen, Leoni garnered widespread recognition for her performance in big-screen projects such as Deep Impact, The Family Man, and Fun with Dick and Jane. In 2014, however, the actress made a return to the TV show scene, starring as the titular character in CBS’ political drama, Madam Secretary. With the show having concluded its story back in 2019, it’s safe to say there’s one question running in all of Leoni’s fans: what’s next?
