Sheila Kelley (born October 9, 1964 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S.) is an American actress. One of her most famous roles is that of Gwen Taylor in L.A. Law, which aired from 1990–1993. (Kelley did not return for L.A. Law: The Movie in 2002.)
Following her role as a stripper in the film Dancing at the Blue Iguana, in which she performed a nude strip routine, she became a fan of pole dancing.
