Alberta Watson, La Femme Nikita/24 Star - dead at 60
Canadian actress Alberta Watson, perhaps best known for her recurring role as Erin Driscoll on Fox’s drama 24, has died. Watson died Saturday in Toronto after a long battle with cancer, said her agent Pam Winter. She was 60.
Over a nearly 40-year career, Watson appeared in dozens of TV shows and feature films, including TV series King Of Kensington, Hill Street Blues, The Equalizer, Law & Order, and hit cable series La Femme Nikita. But it was her role on the fourth season of Fox’s 24 that she is best remembered. As Driscoll, the new director of the Los Angeles Counter Terrorist Unit, one of her first decisions was to fire Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland).
Following 24, she played Sen. Madeline Pierce in the The CW’s Nikita in 2011-12. That turned out to be her final acting role.

That's awful. I do remember her from 24 and Nikita. She was great as Erin Driscoll. The best scene I saw with her from 24 actually never aired on TV. It was only on the DVD. Erin fired Jack from CTU and offered help to get him a new job and Jack said, "I can find my own fucking job." Guess she kept her illness private.
She isn't really a household name, but I liked her work.
