Denise Crosby

She is certainly most know for her role on Star Trek, but she also player in a multitude of successful movie. From "Trekkies 2" to "Deep Impact" she gave some incredible performances and she is still incredible.

When I was a kid, Star Trek: The Next Generation was my favorite tv series. I still enjoy watching the reruns today. It was the character of Tasha Yar that got me interested in the show. As a young girl, I enjoyed finding a strong female role model. I remember crying when Tasha was killed off. I still watched the show, but without Denise Crosby, it seemed empty to me. At the time, I thought that Denise was a great actress. I watched everything with her in it that I could find, even The Eliminators, possibly the worst film ever to be produced. Looking at both Star Trek: TNG and Denise\'s acting from an adult standpoint, I find that I was overly generous in my previous gauge of her abilities. Denise actually overacts quite a bit. For example, in Deep Impact (now there\'s an under-rated movie!) every time another character speaks, Denise\'s eyes practically bug out of her head. It\'s laughable, really. I\'m not surprised she never achieved real fame. Her talents were, well, limited. She should\'ve stuck with Trek!
