She was also well known for playing Madeline on La Femme Nikita, which ran from 1997-2001. She reprised her role of Madeline Pierce when the CW picked up the Nikita reboot in 2011.

Among Watson’s other credits were roles on Law & Order, Angela’s Eyes, The Newsroom, The Equalizer, Buck James and many more. On the big screen, she appeared in My Brother’s Keeper, The Prince and Me, Chasing Cain and The Sweet Hereafter.
