Jennifer Beals to Lead TNT's Supernatural Medical Pilot PROOF

According to Deadline, former FLASHDANCE and THE L WORD star Jennifer Beals has been tapped to lead TNT's upcoming "supernatural medical drama" PROOF, to be executive produced by Kyra Sedgwick.

PROOF, by Rob Bragin and directed by Alex Graves, follows "Dr. Kathryn Russo (Beals), a skeptical, hard-science, brilliant female surgeon with a caustic edge who has been struggling with the devastating loss of her teenage son and a growing estrangement from her surviving daughter. She is persuaded to investigate cases of reincarnation, out-of-body experiences, hauntings - all of it looking for verifiable proof to answer one of life's greatest questions: Is death truly the end, or is there something else beyond?"

Beals was last regularly seen on TV in 'The L Word' and 'The Chicago Code'. She had a guest starring role on the ABC drama series 'Castle' and 'The Mob Doctor.'
