Christine Jane Baranski (born May 2, 1952) [1] is an American actress. She received the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Maryann Thorpe in the sitcom Cybill (1995–1998).
The second season follows Alicia, now a full-time employee at Lockhart & Gardner, while still juggling her private life and her professional life. Most of the plot focuses on the arrival of Derrick Bond, who becomes a partner at the firm, changing the lives of the characters forever.
Diane believes that Lockhart/Gardner has the inside track to win the job, and she is startled when Peter seems to be setting them up by telling her that the firm will need to submit to a voluntary audit if they want to be considered for the contract. For the first time, the partners of Lockhart/Gardner question Alicia's true allegiance.
The firm's conference room wall is accidentally destroyed when tradesmen mistake Lockhart, Florrick & Associates for another law firm, which forces the firm to evacuate to a lower floor. Diane tries to lure more female lawyers in an attempt to expand the firm, but faces opposition from David Lee who threatens a sex discrimination suit.
