Fact
1 When Kelli lived in the upper Bel Air district of Los Angeles as a youngster, her neighbors were Jerry Lewis, Johnny Carson, Kenny Rogers, Sonny Bono and Cher (then Sonny & Cher).
2 Stepdaughter of Alex Rocco.
3 Stepsister of Marc Rocco, Jennifer Rocco and Lucien Rocco.
4 During the second season of The Practice (1997), Kelli became pregnant with her first child. The pregnancy was not written into the show, and so the writers gave her character the job of re-decorating the law office…easily hiding her expanding belly behind tables and paintings. By the time the fifth season came around, Ms. Williams became pregnant once again, but this time ‘Lindsay’ was newly married to senior partner ‘Bobby’ and writers were able to fit it into the storyline. In the show’s seventh season, Kelli became ‘pregos’ once again and, although her on-screen marriage was still on (but hanging by a thread), producers failed to make ‘Lindsay’ pregnant.
5 Gave birth to her 3rd child, a Son on 11 July 2003. The baby’s name is Ravi Lyndon Sahgal.
6 On 3 February 2001 her second child, daughter Sarame Jane Sahgal, was born weighing 7lbs 12oz.
7 Gave birth to her first child, Kiran Ram Saghal. Kiran is a Sanskrit word for “ray of light”. [May 1998]
8 She graduated from Beverly Hills High School in 1988. While there, she was active in the school’s performing arts department and starred in “Romeo and Juliet”.
9 She has one older brother, Sean Doyle, and three half-brothers.
10 Daughter of actress Shannon Wilcox. Her father John Williams is a plastic surgeon. Her parents were divorced when she was 13.
11 Speaks French and Spanish.
