From the moment Lindy stepped onto the stage, she was destined to be a star. Totally beautiful, she shined even in crap like Eerie Indiana: The Other Dimension. Regular roles on series' The Famous Jett Jackson and Relic Hunter helped Lindy to hone her acting skills and afforded her early chances to show just how talented she really was. The hard-nosed teenage spy Hawk (on Jett Jackson) was a lot of fun to watch and showed that Lindy could do sci-fi (even if just kiddie sci-fi) believably, not an easy task. Relic Hunter's Out of the Past, saw Lindy's Claudia dealing with recollections of a past life as Cleopatra's hand-maiden, a tough to convey role in which Lindy was no less than amazing. Later appearances only reinforced my opinion of her as truly talented. Stand-outs included her dual turn as a modern gothic teenager and a 1920s flapper in the indie film Century Hotel, her role as a former pornographic film star who falls in love with a good guy lawyer in Fairytales & Pornography (a role which earned her raves from Ain't It Cool News), and her turn as the much ignored and bitter teenage daughter of space mercinary Rudolpho in Torment, an episode of Starhunter. Awards such as the DVD Premiere Awards (which awarded Lindy a best supporting actress trophy for her role in the Skulls II) and the Canadian Comedy Awards (Lindy was nominated for Rub & Tug) seem ready to acknowledge Lindy's talent. Now that she's looking better than ever - the red hair really works for her - perhaps she will finally find the fame that she so truly deserves.

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!
