Catherine Hicks as Dr. Gillian Taylor

It appears that there is some relation between Star Trek and “7th Heaven.” Catherine Hicks portrayed Annie Camden in the classic show. Fortunately, she was less controversial than her co-star, Stephen Collins. The only attention Hicks received was for her outstanding performances. She was nominated for a Saturn Award in the Best Supporting Actress category for her role as Dr. Gillian Taylor in Star Trek. Hicks had previously received an Emmy nomination for her depiction of Marilyn Monroe before appearing in “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.” From such a bright start in the 1980s, Hicks has evolved into an even more remarkable actor with a huge number of credits.

Jennifer Lien as Kes

When you play a character from a species that only lives for nine years, you know it’s going to be a short affair! Jennifer Lien, who played Kes in “Star Trek: Voyager,” experienced this from 1995 to 1997. Kes was an Ocampan who, while gifted with telepathy, did not have the longest of lifespans. Nonetheless, Lien enjoyed the role and became friends with her fellow Star Trek cast members throughout the years she portrayed Kes. Lien had a lot of success obtaining additional roles after departing from the program, but she decided to stop performing in 2002.
