Suzie Plakson from Star Trek

This weekend myself and friends from our Star Trek club attended Babelcon 3 convention over in Baton Rouge LA., it was a really nice con and we all had a great time. I just wanted to mention one of my highlights that I thought our Trek fans on the forum would like, which was meeting the lovely and talented Suzie Plakson, who portrayed Worf's girlfriend K'Ehleyr, as well as a few other aliens on various Star Trek series. She is a talented actress and singer, full of great stories, a tall beautiful redheaded woman, and a class act all the way. Suzie was at the con all weekend, and took time to greet and chat with any fans that approached her, not only at her panels and autograph table, but at also at a 'VIP meet and greet' cocktail party the con had on Friday night, which is where I got to meet her. The best part of that meeting was that I heard her before I saw her, and what I heard was "Hey, A man in a kilt!"

Wow! What a gorgeous woman. I'm always grateful that such creatures exist to remind me of the finer things about being a human being.

I hated to see them kill off her character.

With Suzie at the autograph table.

This was at the VIP party. not a great pic, she was being assaulted by camera flashes. In case you're wondering, I am 5'9, Suzie is a little over 6'1, and just turned 50.

For the Battlestar fans, here's Capt.Apollo / Tom Zarek , Richard Hatch. A fun guy, looking great at 63.

Last but not least, Kaylee from Firefly! OK, not the real Kaylee, but a awfully cute Baton Rouge version, She just won that medal for the trivia contest, I kind of helped her out from the audience with a few hand signals

Glad you thought she was cool...My Klingons thought she was a bit of a "primadonna" around them at the VIP party.

However, they said JG Hertzler (Gen Martok) was super cool.

I wish I could have gone...but had other family events that weekend.

Ok, while I am an avid Star Trek fan myself, (although obviously not as avid as some), I'm afraid I'm going to have to break the Trekkie bubble on this one. When I saw the photo a different television series came to mind, which I just had confirmed by my wife.
Suzie Plakson played the lesbian doctor who delivered Helen Hunt's baby on the series Mad About You. This is the first time I realized she was on Star Trek. Never put two and two together. Nice to know how veratile an actress she really is.
