Jeri Taylor, the Emmy-nominated producer, writer, director and showrunner who spent more than a decade working on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager, which she co-created, has died. She was 86.
Taylor died Wednesday night of natural causes at an assisted living facility in Davis, California, her son Andrew Enberg told The Hollywood Reporter.
“My mother succeeded in a male-dominated industry,” her son said, “but she did it without being super aggressive. She did it with compassion and kindness. She was like a den mother to everyone.”
Before embarking on her Star Trek voyage, the Indiana native wrote and produced episodes of such popular network crime fare as Quincy, M.E., Magnum, P.I., Jake and the Fatman and In the Heat of the Night. She was adept at writing about “character, of people and relationships and feelings,” she once noted.
