Kelli Williams took a Role as a Mom and a Detective in UPN's Initial Scripted Series, 'Ties That Bind'

Kelli Williams has played in some TV shows she didn’t want her kids to watch.

“Ties That Bind,” in which Williams plays a detective whose professional diligence helps create a personal crisis, isn’t one of them.
