Still a Super Model


Terry is almost 46, and yet even for a young guy like me she is still hot. She has a very similar face to Brooke Shields, and I think that she could have gone far if it weren't for Trek. Don't get me wrong, I love love Trek, but I really do think that being on/getting fired from Trek killed her career. I know she had Becker, but still...

And even on Becker she was great!

I just think that she had the looks, and the acting ability to make it.

She can't "still" be a supermodel.

She never was.

Look up the definition of supermodel. She won't be there.

She was fired?

reply

No, she wasn't. She didn't renew her contract because she wanted to pursue other career paths and not being tied to Dax. AFAIR, she already had the offer for Becker when she decided she would quit DS9.

Ah! A "supermodel" strict constructionist!

reply

Maybe she wasn't fired as such, but there were definitely problems between her and Rick Berman (mentioned many times in interviews) and the rumours said, that if she hadn't left by herself, she would've been fired for sure.

- and I think it is kinda pathetic, that she still talks about her role in a mediocre TV-show that ended 17 years ago!

reply

There were no rumors that she would have been "fired" primarily because there would be no reason to fire her as her contract had expired. Berman wanted her to simply renew her contract as all the other cast members had, but she was not interested in returning in the same capacity for the final season.

She only talks about DS9 now because people are interested in hearing her. You've come to talk about an actress who hasn't acted in 12 years: what does that make you?

...You've come to talk about an actress who hasn't acted in 12 years: what does that make you?Hard to act if you're not getting any job offers, right? And she's maybe not been acting for twelve years, but she certainly isn't too good to not attend every single star trek conversion, and claim her piece of the cake, isn't she! ;)

- and I usually don't respond to reply that use passive/aggressive language, so consider this my final answer in this tread.
