Lara Axelrod, née Benjamin, is the ex-wife of Bobby Axelrod.
Showtime description[]
Stunning and stylish, Lara Axelrod is the picture of a billionaire's wife. But her persona is entirely self-taught. A former nurse, she grew up in a blue-collar family of police and firefighters and still thinks of herself as a tough girl from Inwood, Manhattan. Lara's not afraid to marshal her considerable resources to protect her family -- or to get what she wants.
