  • Trivia
    Has an action figure modeled after her character Keiko from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993).
  • Quotes
    When I leave Los Angeles to do something, that's when I notice how into "Star Trek" and how loyal to the shows' actors the fans are. The fans will notice me on the street and ask me questions about Keiko's personal relationships, especially the female fans. They're very concerned, because they want her to maintain her career. They always talk to me about that. It's very funny.
  • Trademark
    Dimple close to her left corner of mouth.
