“I remember an agent saying to me: ‘You’re not pretty, you’re not fat – I don’t know what to do with you.’… They still don’t know what to do with me.” – Nana Visitor

All-New 8TL Pop-Up Series - "Star Trek Ladies". Explore out-of-this-world conversations with and about the women of the Star Trek universe! Sharon and Susan begin with Nana Visitor, who starred as “Kira Nerys” on the classic television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

In Part One of a two-part conversation, Nana talks about her early days as a Broadway dancer in the 70’s, and starring in 80’s TV favorites such as Remington Steele, Scarecrow & Mrs. King, Matlock, Hunter, Knight Rider, MacGyver, Highway to Heaven, and In The Heat Of The Night.

THE CONVERSATION

• All That Jazz – singing, acting and dancing with Bob Fosse -- and the life-changing advice he gave her about doing drugs.
• What is it like kissing your best friend’s husband for a guest role in 1991's Baby Talk – especially when it’s George Clooney?
• Riding horses for years on Wildfire… even though she’s terrified of horses!
• Vixen, Murderer or Dead Body – Nana has played them all. But which one is almost always blonde?
• Getting a warm welcome on the Remington Steele set – from Stephanie Zimbalist and especially Pierce Brosnan!
