TV Midseason is here and one of the many shows we have to look forward to (or dread) features the return of 43-year-old actress Ashley Judd.
While Judd made her name in movies like "Double Jeopardy," she's trying out the small screen with a series that looks... well, exactly like a lot of her big screen films.
ABC's "Missing" follows Judd's character Rebecca Winstone as she desperately tries to find her son when he disappears during a summer internship in Italy.
Winstone and her recently deceased husband ("Game of Throne" star Sean Bean) were CIA-agents so she uses all of her old tricks. Think "Taken" with a woman.
In honor of Judd's new show and subsequent comeback, we've compiled a list of things you may not know about the "Kiss the Girls" actress, including her affinity for Kentucky University basketball games and an Estee Lauder beauty line.
Judd comes from a famous family.
Born in 1968 in California, Judd is the daughter of country singing star Naomi Judd and the half-sister of Wynona Judd.
Judd took over the independent film scene.
1993's "Ruby in Paradise" was a breakout film for Judd. She played Ruby, a young girl who leaves Tennessee to work at a souvenir store in a Panama City resort.
The film is based off of Jane Austen's classic "Northanger Abbey."
So close yet so far...
Judd originally shot scenes for the serial killer film "Natural Born Killers" by director Oliver Stone. But her scenes were left on the cutting room floor.
