“L.A. Law’s” crack corporate attorney, Ann Kelsey, made a pretty stunning comeback herself last season--or at least Jill Eikenberry, who plays her on the NBC series, did. Eikenberry was treated for breast cancer during early filming of the show and is producing a documentary about breast cancer survivors, scheduled to air Oct. 12. The documentary, “Destined to Survive: 100 Roads to Recovery,” profiles 100 survivors of breast cancer, some famous, such as First Lady Nancy Reagan, and others not. “I was one of the lucky ones. I didn’t have to lose a breast,” said Eikenberry. “I had to undergo radiation therapy during the first six episodes of ‘L.A. Law.’ It was not an easy time.”
