Alana de la Garza was born on June 18, 1976 in Columbus, Ohio as Alana de la Garza. She is 5' 9" [1.75 m] tall.
What do you get when you mix Jill Hennessy, Carey Lowell and Angie Harmon together? You get Alana de la Garza. I believe she's been the best Assistant DA in the whole Law & Order series. If you miss her or just the show, check out Law & Order: LA. I don't think it's as good as the NY version but worth watching. I especially like how they show the geography of LA so that viewers get a sense of distance.
On a slight side note, did you know she was in "All My Children?" Her character was Rosa Santos. I don't watch AMC or any soap operas so I was surprised that she was in one. No "real" movies yet but here's hoping.
