Top 10 Women of Star Trek & Where Are They Now

8 Denise Crosby

THEN Denise Crosby started out in 1987 as Lieutenant Natasha “Tasha” Yar and was the chief security aboard the Starfleet starship USS Enterprise-D. They killed her character when she was ready to go. They wrote her back for a cool guest appearance in season 3.

NOW Denise Crosby appeared in Days of Our Lives before being cast on Star Trek. She has been a well-known actress since then. She has only done a handful of episodes for each series. You might remember her from The Walking Dead and Prison Break.

Crosby was married to Geoffrey Edwards in 1983, the son of Blake Edwards director. Although they divorced in 1990 Crosby was still able to see her father-in-law’s films, such as 10, Skin Deep, Trail of the Pink Panther, and Curse of the Pink Panther. She married Ken Sylk in 1995 and they had a son, August William Sylk.

7 Jolene Blalock

THEN Jolene Blalock portrays Commander T’Pol who is a Vulcan and serves as the Starship Enterprise’s science officer. Although they had hoped to find someone else for the Vulcan officer role on the starship Enterprise, they ran into legal problems and ended up creating T’Pol. T’Pol was there and she served on Enterprise for ten years. T’Pol, a Vulcan, isn’t always the most emotionally sensitive. However, she was more sensitive than others and had a hard time controlling her emotions. Her character was exposed and eventually damaged by a toxic substance. This caused damage to the brain that was responsible for emotional control.

NOW She began modeling before landing the role in 2001. She’s appeared in several films since then, including Slow Burn, the TV series House, and Legend of the Seeker. Blalock is currently married to Michael Rapino, the CEO of Live Nation (a ticket-selling company).

They met while she was doing a beer commercial in Los Angeles. It turned out that he had booked her. He was in England at the time, while she was on Star Trek: Enterprise. After dating for some time, she proposed to him and they got married in Negril (Jamaica) in 2003. Rivers Rapino and Ryder James Rapino are their two children.
