I was just thinking one of my favorite non-Trek roles was when she played the mother in Snow Dogs. It wasn't a big role but she did it well.
shareI am sure Star Trek fans will not forget her.
RIP
Gorgeous woman and you're right, Trek fans will not forget about her.
shareWell, I am trying to forget about that scene where he was dancing in the dunes to seduce the bad guys.
Definitely beautiful, and got the chance to play a major real life role model, so yes, she will be remembered fondly. Seems like she didn't do a lot more acting.
she was nice in that film too
