Two-time Oscar winner Diane Wiest is one of the biggest stars to have graced the television run of Law & Order. Wiest breathed life into the character of District Attorney Nora Lewin for two seasons between 2000 and 2002. Her character was a force to be reckoned with as the first-ever female District Attorney in New York, a position that has never been held in the real world. 

Fans and critics applauded her stellar performance as Lewin, which led to her appearance in the spin-off shows Criminal Intent and Special Victims Unit.
