Emily Deschanel plays Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan on the FOX TV series "Bones".
The character is very loosely based on American crime writer, forensic anthropologist and academic, Kathy Reichs and on the heroine in Reich's novels.
To actually go through the character of Dr.Brennan would probably take up several blog posts.
Let's just say she's complex.
The lady that plays Dr. Brennan is Emily Deschanel.
Emily was born on October 11, 1976 in Los Angeles, California and is the sister of Zooey Deschanel.
Her mother Mary Jo Deschanel is also an actress anf her father Caleb Deschanel is an Academy Award-nominated cinematographer.
