OH NO!!!!!!!! This is terrible! She was a FABULOUS actress! I really liked her role as Luwaxanna Troi in TNG! I haven’t seen much of TOS, so I haven’t seen much of her as Nurse Chapel (but she made a cameo in TMP as ‘Dr. Chapel’).
This is definitely tragic. My condolences to her family and to all the other Star Trek fans. May she R.I.P. She will be missed!
If you wish to acquaint yourself with TOS, you can go to this web site and view every episode of the original for FREE!:) Link to fancast
Just a thought and I am NOT associated in any way to the web site, just a place I enjoy going to quite often, they have other old series also, including the original "Lost in Space".
