Hennessy is most famous for
playing ADA Claire Kincaid on Law & Order and the lead in her
own show, Crossing Jordan as ME Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh.
She is multi-lingual, being able to speak
Italian, French, Spanish, and German. This is partly because of her
mixed heritage, which included Irish, Italian, Swedish, French, and
Ukrainian.
Her husband, Paolo, opened a tavern in
Northvale, New Jersey in 1999, and named it "Hennessy",
after his wife. The tavern serves comfort food. Hennessy also enjoys
riding motorcycles with her husband. She gave birth to a son, Marco, on
17 September 2003. They also had a second marriage ceremony in January,
2001, which took place at New York City Hall with Rudolph Guiliani
officiating.
Hennessy was born in Edmonton, Alberta,
and graduated from Grand River Collegiate high school in Kitchener,
Ontario. Hennessy's father, John, was a meat salesman, which required
considerable travel and resulted in frequent moves. Her mother, Maxine,
left the family. She also has a younger brother, John Jr.
