Q. On “Law & Order” is S. Epatha Merkerson sick in real life or is her having cancer a storyline to phase her out of the series? S.T., e-mail
A. Neither. Merkerson, who has played Lieut. Anita Van Buren since 1993, has the distinction of being the longest running black actress in a drama in the history of TV. Her “sickness” absences allow her to moonlight in Broadway plays. As far as is known, her health is fine.
