Every episode of The Good Wife, which is wrapping up its seven-season run on Sunday, presented its audience with a new lawyer, a new client or a new judge. These brief stints on the prestige drama quickly became one of the best gigs in the business. The likes of Michel J. Fox and America Ferrera had recurring roles on the show. Even Gloria Steinem made a cameo appearance.

Here are 20 of the most well-known guest stars that visited Alicia’s law firm—whatever it may have been called at the time.
