Denise Crosby created the role of Lt. Tasha Yar on one of the most popular TV series ever, Star Trek: The Next Generation. She later returned to play Tasha's daughter "Sela," a role she helped create. Current / Recent Work In addition to her work producing the documentaries Trekkies and Trekkies 2, she most recently completed work in Quentin Tarentino's new film, Jackie Brown, and Mimi Leder's Dreamworks production Deep Impact, co-starring Morgan Freeman, Vanessa Redgrave, and Tea Leoni. She has recently completed the films, Executive Power co-starring Craig Sheffer and Joanna Cassidy, and Divorce: A Contemporary Western co-starring Elias Koteas, Christopher McDonald, Talia Shire and Beverly D'Angelo for release later this year.
Not everyone born in Hollywood, California, has famous family connections. Denise Crosby's early and young adult life, however, were influenced by her status as Bing Crosby's grandchild and Blake Edwards's daughter-in-law. There is no doubt Crosby has steadily forged her own niche in the entertainment industry, from her portrayal of Lisa Davis on Days of Our Lives to the no-nonsense Lieutenant Natasha 'Tasha' Yar on Star Trek: The Next Generation, where she also played her own daughter, Romulan Commander Sela, a role she would reprise on the "Star Trek Armada" video game. Since her Star Trek days, she has worked non-stop in television, notably as Dr. Gretchen Kelly on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, as well as in high-budget features like Deep Impact. Crosby has also starred in Stephen King's Pet Sematary and the Quentin Tarantino caper Jackie Brown. One of her very first film appearances was in the Eddie Murphy vehicle 48 Hrs. Denise is married to Ken Sylk and has one son, August William Sylk. Internet Presence Official Website - www.denisecrosby.net |
