KIM DELANEY
Delaney’s Claudia Holden was one of the top women in the base and remained so for six seasons of the show before she exited. Delaney went to the miniseries “To Appomattox,” and television shows “Chicago Fire” and “Murder in the First.”
In 2015, Delaney and Brannagh told Fox News that they learned a lot from their time on the series, saying that army wives and vets in real life never got enough credit. They were grateful regardless to bring those people into the spotlight.
The cast members of Lifetime’s great series have all done very well for themselves, despite leaving some of their most remarkable roles on television.
