Watch Leslie in Episode Titled "Death Row Tip" Online

Tony and Emmy Award-winning actress, singer, and recording artist Leslie Uggams recently appeared on "The Good Wife" in an episode titled "Death Row Tip." Uggams guest starred on the Emmy nominated CBS drama as the upscale mother of two sons, one a Wall Street broker, the other a convicted murderer sentenced to death row.

"I'm thrilled to be doing this guest appearance on 'The Good Wife,'" says Uggams. "Not only is it a great role, but it's on one of my favorite television shows. My character's storyline is very dramatic. The son who's in prison can help solve a murder, so there is a chance that he'll get a stay of execution. The law firm of Lockhart Gardner, where 'the good wife' works, becomes involved in that process."

"The Good Wife" stars Emmy Award winner Julianna Margulies, Emmy nominee Josh Charles, Tony and Emmy Award winner Christine Baranski, Emmy Award winner Archi Panjabi, Emmy nominee and Olivier Award winner Alan Cumming, and Matt Czuchry. Golden Globe nominee Chris Noth is also featured. The show is ranked consistently in the Top 20 with more than 11 million viewers weekly.

Most recently Uggams had a guest starring role on TNT's "Memphis Beat" playing the mother of Lt. Tanya Rice (Alfre Woodard) in an episode titled "Thicker than Water." She has also been touring nationally with her autobiographical solo show "Uptown/Downtown" (LA Drama Critics Circle Award, NAACP Theatre Award, IRNE Award, Broadway World People's Choice Award) which chronicles her extraordinary career in stories and song.
