Why She Sizzles: Ward is beautiful and compassionate: in 2002, she opened an emergency shelter for children needing placement in foster homes in her hometown of Meridian, Mississippi.

When We First Fell in Love: We loved to watch her kick up the melodrama as alcoholic artist Teddy Reed on NBC’s long-running Sisters (on the show’s pilot, she tried to ruin her sister’s wedding with a shotgun).
Ward was a cheerleader at Alabama.
