So what would fans find in Margulies’ email were she hacked? “Nothing! Maybe romantic emails,” she said. “People wouldn’t believe it.” Added her husband, “They might blush.” Margulies named Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as her favorite person on this year’s TIME 100 and was disappointed when she heard she couldn’t attend the gala. “I get it,” she said. “Court’s in session.” Though Ginsburg is an inspiration for Margulies personally, she said she doesn’t think Alicia, her character on the CBS show, is anything like RBG. “I don’t think Ruth would quit work for her husband,” she said. _— With reporting by Charlotte Alter_ ### See the Stars at the 2015 TIME 100 Gala  Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West attend the TIME 100 Gala at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City on April 21, 2015.
