    A talented and unique actress.. hide show

    I first saw her in Earth: Final Conflict and just had to know who this woman was. Then I saw her guest starring in other shows like "Lassie", and movies like "Deadly Betrayal". She really needs to be on TV more because the woman can act and she is very interesting. I'd love to see more of her work. Her character on Earth: Final Conflict basically created the show, and yes the show would be interesting by itself, but she just made me wanna watch it more. Hope she gets some bigger roles like that soon, though I am sure nothing can top EFC.
