Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, or SVU as it became known, featuring topical story lines, shone a light on violence against women—and often saw justice served. It was a runaway hit and remains one of NBC's most watched shows, with as many as 10 million viewers tuning in weekly. Now, as the series enters its 20th season—tying with Gunsmoke and the original Law & Order for longest-running drama series in TV history—the female cast and crew who have been key to its success share how it all came together. These are their stories. *DUN DUN* READ MORE       Ryan Reynolds Trolled This Picture of Blake Lively Standing Between the Legs of a Naked Man   You can totally imagine him saying it, too.
