Denise Michelle Crosby (born November 24, 1957) is an American actress and model, best known for portraying Security Chief Tasha Yar mainly in season one of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Yar's daughter, the half-Romulan Commander Sela, in subsequent seasons. She is also known for her numerous film and television roles, and for starring in and producing the film Trekkies.

Dixie Lee (paternal grandmother)
Denise Michelle Crosby was born on November 24, 1957, in Hollywood, California, the daughter of Marilyn Scott and actor Dennis Crosby (after whom she was named). Her unmarried mother pursued a sensational, three-year-long lawsuit against her father, at the conclusion of which he was ordered to pay child support and legal fees. This deeply embarrassed Dennis and his father, actor and singer Bing Crosby. Although Crosby was 19 when her grandfather died, she had never met him.[1]
Crosby attended LeConte Junior High School,[2] and graduated in 1975 from Hollywood High School,followed by Cabrillo College, where she studied theater. She dropped out of college after she was interviewed by a local paper and revealed her famous family background: "One of the drama teachers used the story to illustrate to the class that this crap is what Hollywood's all about, using people's names to get somewhere. I was very, very hurt by it. So I just checked out." She started modeling, and in 1979, posed nude for the March issue of Playboy magazine, which she called "some kind of rebellion on my part, some way of saying screw you to the family image".[3]
Crosby's choice of career solidified at an early age and was influenced by her grandfather Bing Crosby and her father Dennis Crosby. Crosby's first high-profile role was as Lisa Davis on the soap opera Days of Our Lives. She has appeared as Dr. Gretchen Kelly in three episodes of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, and as a sheriff on The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. episode "No Man's Land". In the early 1990s, she played the role of the mayor in the short-lived series Key West. She also appeared in two episodes of the cable television series Red Shoe Diaries, playing a different character in each episode. Crosby had a small recurring role in Aaron Spelling's primetime drama, Models Inc, a spin-off from Melrose Place. She was a guest star on the eighth season of The X-Files for two episodes, in which she plays a doctor who examined Agent Scully's baby. In 1991, she was a guest star in "The Deadly Nightshade", a first-season The Flash episode as Dr. Rebecca Frost. In 2006, she was a guest star in "Popping Cherry", the third episode of the first season of Dexter, appearing via flashback as the victim of Dexter's first serial killing. Crosby had a recurring role in Southland as Detective Dan "Sal" Salinger's wife.
One of her first film appearances was in the 1982 Nick Nolte/Eddie Murphy film 48 Hrs. This was followed by a small role in the 1982 film Trail of the Pink Panther, which she reprised in the sequel Curse of the Pink Panther. In 1985, Crosby appeared in the music video for the Chris Isaak song "Dancin'". In 1986, she appeared in the music video for the Black Sabbath's song "No Stranger to Love". In the same year, she played a robotics engineer, Nora Hunter, in the science-fiction movie Eliminators. She starred in Stephen King's Pet Sematary, played the lead role in Dolly Dearest in 1991, and also appeared in Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown, and Deep Impact. Her other film roles included the 2002 Western horror film Legend of the Phantom Rider, and the 2005 Tobe Hooper horror film Mortuary.
In 1987, Crosby was cast in the role of Tasha Yar for the much-publicized return of Star Trek to television in the syndicated series Star Trek: The Next Generation. She had been chosen to play Counselor Deanna Troi before Gene Roddenberry switched the roles that Marina Sirtis and she had originally been given. Initially one of the top-billed characters and featured prominently in episodes such as "The Naked Now" and "Code of Honor", the role of Tasha gradually moved into the background as other members of the ensemble cast became a greater focus of the series. Crosby reportedly grew disillusioned with her role because of its "Uhura-like" status: "I was struggling with not being able to do much with the character. I had all these ideas and couldn't do them. I was just stage dressing."[4] Ultimately, Crosby decided to leave the show. Her character was killed by the alien creature Armus during the episode "Skin of Evil". She had appeared in 22 episodes when she left.
In later years, Crosby approached the TNG production team with the idea of reprising her role of Tasha Yar.[5] This came to be in season-three's "Yesterday's Enterprise", in which an alternate timeline is created after the USS Enterprise-C, the predecessor to TNG's USS Enterprise-D, comes forward 22 years in time, just before it was to be destroyed. Yar joined the Enterprise-C before it returned to its own time to restore the original timeline. During the documentary Trekkies, Crosby commented that her Tasha Yar character had to die to get "the best episodes".
Crosby also guest-starred in several other TNG episodes, including "Redemption" and "Unification" as Romulan Commander Sela, the half-human, half-Romulan daughter of Tasha Yar, who had been taken prisoner in the past while on board the Enterprise-C. Crosby later reprised the role in the Star Trek: Armada video game, and again in the series finale, "All Good Things...", in which Captain Picard is moving back and forth through time, and encounters Tasha during the events just prior to the pilot episode.
Crosby co-produced and narrated the 1997 documentary Trekkies, followed by the 2003 sequel Trekkies 2. Both films star Crosby, who conducts interviews with devotees of Star Trek, more commonly known as "Trekkies". As of 2017, she was reportedly working on a sequel called Trekkies 3.[6]
Along with other Star Trek actors, she has also appeared in the "Blood and Fire" episode of the fan -produced series Star Trek: New Voyages, playing Dr. Jenna Yar (grandmother of Natasha Yar).
In 2013, Crosby provided voicing for the characters of Tasha Yar and Sela in the Cryptic Studios MMORPG Star Trek Online. Crosby became the first of a new wave of several Star Trek alumni to return to the roles they originated since Leonard Nimoy's participation at the game's launch in 2010.
In January and February 2010, Crosby performed alongside Gale Harold and ex-model Claudia Mason in Tennessee Williams' Orpheus Descending at Theater in Los Angeles. The production and cast received mostly positive reviews in the Los Angeles Times, which stated, "Harold, ideally cast, beautifully ignites with Crosby, whose unconventional interpretation is an affecting revelation."[7]
Crosby has a recurring role on Showtime's 2013 series Ray Donovan.[8] In 2014, she appeared in three episodes of AMC's The Walking Dead as Mary, a member of a group of cannibals.[9] The character first appears in the penultimate episode of season four, "Us", and made her final appearance in the season-five premiere, "No Sanctuary".
Crosby also played the role of widow Margie Curtis in the TV series Bones, season three, episode four, "The Secret in the Soil". She played the role of Special Master Faye Richardson in the legal drama Suits in its final season.
Crosby was married to Geoffrey Edwards, son of director Blake Edwards, from 1983 to 1990. She appeared in a number of her former father-in-law's films, including 10, Skin Deep, Trail of the Pink Panther, and Curse of the Pink Panther. Crosby married Ken Sylk in 1995 and their son, August William Sylk, was born in 1998.[1]

Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA
Denise Michelle Crosby (born 24 November 1957; age 63) is the actress best known for playing Lieutenant Natasha Yar during the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Although she left before the end of the season, she returned to the role in later episodes and also played Sela, the Romulan daughter of Yar from an alternate timeline.
Born in Hollywood, California, Crosby appeared to be destined for show business. She is the granddaughter of famous crooner and actor Bing Crosby, the daughter of actor and singer Dennis Crosby, the niece of Mary Crosby, and the ex-daughter-in-law of director Blake Edwards. Crosby even began her acting career with a small role in her then-father-in-law's hit romantic comedy 10 in 1979 (with John Hancock, Michael Champion, Jeannetta Arnette, and William Lucking). She also appeared in two of Edwards' Pink Panther films, Trail of the Pink Panther in 1982 and Curse of the Pink Panther in 1983. Also in 1983, she appeared in Edwards' The Man Who Loved Women. She is a distant cousin of Star Trek: Enterprise guest star Seth MacFarlane and her half brother Gregory Crosby is married to Star Trek stuntwoman Spice Williams-Crosby.
Crosby married Edwards' son, Geoffrey (who wrote all of the above films with his father, with the exception of 10), in 1983. The two ultimately divorced in 1990. Her father, Dennis Crosby, passed away in 1991. Crosby married actor Ken Sylk in 1995. The two have a son, August William Sylk.
Crosby co-starred in the hit 1982 action comedy 48 Hrs. along with fellow Trek alumni Jonathan Banks and Margot Rose. Prior to assuming the role of Tasha Yar, Crosby co-starred with future TNG and DS9 guest actor Andrew Prine in the 1986 science fiction adventure Eliminators. She also appeared in such made-for-television movies as My Wicked, Wicked Ways (1985, starring Duncan Regehr and Alan Oppenheimer), Malice in Wonderland (1985, with Anne Haney, Mark L. Taylor, and Jason Wingreen), and 1986's The Family Martinez, starring future Star Trek: Voyager star Robert Beltran. In 1986, she appeared in Black Sabbath's music video, "No Stranger to Love".
Before TNG, Crosby's first work in episodic television was a 1986 episode of L.A. Law entitled "Gibbon Take". Besides series regular Corbin Bernsen, the episode also featured Bibi Besch, Josh Clark, Anne Haney, and Tom Hodges. Crosby was next seen on a short-lived series called Ohara which featured Madge Sinclair as a regular and also guest-starred future Star Trek: Deep Space Nine actress Nana Visitor.
She left the series before the first season ended because she felt her character was not being given enough to do. The last episode she filmed was "Symbiosis", although her character died in the previous episode filmed, "Skin of Evil" as they were aired in the opposite order. In a production "Easter egg", Crosby can be seen waving goodbye to the camera in her final scene of "Symbiosis". After her departure, due to an editing goof, Crosby's arm and shoulder can be seen behind Picard and Troi in a bridge scene in the episode "We'll Always Have Paris".

Although she intended to leave Star Trek behind and focus on her feature film career, she ultimately reprised the role of Yar in the third season episode "Yesterday's Enterprise". She then went on to play Romulan Commander Sela in "Redemption", "Redemption II", and "Unification II" and lent her voice to the episode "The Mind's Eye". She returned as Yar for the series finale, "All Good Things...".
Despite leaving Trek in 1988, Crosby's future association with the franchise and the fanbase led her to produce and host the documentary Trekkies in 1997. She also returned to executive produce and host that film's 2004 sequel, Trekkies 2.
In 2013, Crosby provided the voice of Tasha Yar in Star Trek Online, her character making a special appearance in a mission added to celebrate the game's third anniversary, "Temporal Ambassador". [1] She has also reprised the role of Sela, now Empress of the Romulan Star Empire, in "Legacy of Romulus", the first expansion pack for STO, which was released in May 2013. [2]
All appearances of Crosby are as Tasha Yar except in three episodes ("Redemption", "Redemption II", and "Unification II") in which Crosby plays the character of Sela, a Romulan commander who is Tasha Yar's daughter from an alternate timeline.
After leaving Next Generation, Crosby focused on feature films. She starred in five movies between 1988 and 1989, including Miracle Mile (with Robert DoQui, Jenette Goldstein, Raphael Sbarge, William Schallert, and Brian Thompson) and Blake Edwards' Skin Deep. Perhaps her most famous film is the 1989 Stephen King horror movie Pet Semetary, in which she was the lead actress and co-starred with frequent Trek guest actor Brad Greenquist and her one-time TNG co-star Kavi Raz.
Crosby continued to work steadily in film during the 1990s. She had a supporting role in the 1991 comedy High Strung, featuring an early appearance by future TNG guest star Kirsten Dunst. The following year, Crosby starred in the horror movie Dolly Dearest and the year after that, she starred in the Italian drama Mafia Docks (aka Desperate Crimes).
Her other film credits during this decade include a supporting role in the 1995 sci-fi thriller Mutant Species, a cameo appearance in Quentin Tarantino's 1997 thriller Jackie Brown (featuring Tommy "Tiny" Lister, Jr. and Sid Haig), and a featured role in the 1998 blockbuster Deep Impact (co-starring James Cromwell, Christopher Darga, Mark Moses, Kurtwood Smith, and Concetta Tomei). Also in 1998, Crosby appeared with her "Yesterday's Enterprise" co-star Christopher McDonald in the drama Divorce: A Contemporary Western. Crosby starred in the direct-to-video releases Dream Man (1995), which co-starred DS9 actor Armin Shimerman and Star Trek's Bruce Greenwood, and Executive Power (1997), co-starring ENT guest actress Joanna Cassidy.
Crosby continued to appear in low-budget films such as the 2002 horror Western Legend of the Phantom Rider (with George Murdock) and the 2005 horror thriller Mortuary (with Courtney Peldon and Michael Shamus Wiles). She was also featured in the drama Ripple Effect along with her husband, Ken, as well as Enterprise star John Billingsley and Voyager guest actress Virginia Madsen. She also starred in a horror movie called Born, about a 21-year-old girl impregnated with and possessed by a demonic fetus (along with Kane Hodder and Azalea Davila) and, in late August 2012, in the short film Birth Mother, directed by Roger Hensley and co-starring Valarie Pettiford, Rahvaunia, and Philip Jordan.
Shortly before her birthday on 24 November 2014, Crosby wrapped filming the indie thriller Don't Wake Mommy, previously known as Maternal Bonds, for director Chris Sivertson. Besides the lead actors Sara Rue, Ashley Bell, and Dean Geyer, the film also features stuntwoman Spice Williams-Crosby as stunt double for Crosby and stuntwoman Daphne Avalon, the daughter of actor Brian Thompson who visited the set during filming. [3]
Crosby also filmed the thriller The Watcher, working with John Billingsley and Ruth Williamson, which was released on 1 October 2016. [4]
She was interviewed for the documentary Celluloid Wizards in the Video Wasteland: The Saga of Empire Pictures (2016). The documentary also features Jeffrey Combs, Tony Todd, Kane Hodder, Gary Graham, Gerrit Graham, Jeffrey Byron, and J. Larry Carroll.
More recently, she wrapped production on the short film The Doctor's Case (2017) and on the horror thriller Itsy Bitsy (2018, with Bruce Davison) in which she appears as Sheriff Jane.
Her TV credits during the latter part of the 1990s include episodes of Sisters (with Erich Anderson, Stephen Collins, and Frank Kopyc), Diagnosis Murder (with Jeff Allin, Diedrich Bader, and Brad Blaisdell), and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (starring Chad Allen and Barbara Babcock), as well the 1998 TV movies Pumpkin Man and Chance of a Lifetime (with the latter also featuring Michelle Horn).
After the turn of the century, Crosby again worked alongside her TNG co-star Christopher McDonald in an episode of Family Law, which also starred Salli Elise Richardson and Julie Warner and guest-starred Nicholas Cascone. In 2001, Crosby was seen in episodes of NYPD Blue (along with Jeff Allin, Gordon Clapp, and Juliana Donald) and The X-Files (with Ron Canada) and guest-starred along with Rene Auberjonois in an episode of Judging Amy. She more recently appeared on such shows as JAG (with Gary Graham and Scott Lawrence), The Agency (with Ed Begley, Jr., Daniel Benzali, and David Clennon), and Crossing Jordan (with Miguel Ferrer, Zach Grenier, Eric Pierpoint, and Patti Yasutake). She made an appearance as the widow Margie Curtis in "The Secret in the Soil", an episode of the FOX series Bones, which also featured Christopher Darga, and she portrayed the title character's very first victim in the Dexter episode Popping Cherry, in which she appeared alongside Trek performers Brad William Henke and Tom Schanley. Monica Staggs served as her stunt double in this episode.
In 2009 Crosby finished shooting on the double episode "Blood and Fire" of the fan-based internet series Star Trek: New Voyages in which she played the character Dr. Jenna Yar, grandmother to her TNG character. This episode featured fellow Trek performers John Carrigan, Bill Blair, and James Cawley, and was written and directed by David Gerrold.
Besides her work on the stage plays "Epitaph for George Dillon" (June 2-15 at the 45th Street Theater in New York), "Beggars in the House of Plenty", and "Orpheus Descending" in 2010, Crosby portrayed Susan Salinger, wife of Detective Daniel Salinger (played by Michael McGrady) in the season finale of the NBC crime series Southland titled "Derailed". Star Trek actors who appeared in this episode are Emily Bergl, Patrick Fischler, Sufe M. Bradshaw, and stunt coordinator Greg Barnett. On her official site, Crosby announced that she would be returning to the series in two more episodes of its second season, "Butch and Sundance" and "Maximum Deployment", in 2010. Both episodes featured regulars McGrady, Fischler, and Bergl, while the first episode also featured Kevin Derr and Ian Patrick Williams.
