Barbara March(1953-2019)

Best known as one of the villainous Duras sisters (Lursa) in Star Trek TNG, DS9 and the motion picture Star Trek: Generations. She later attended Star Trek conventions, even appearing on stage occasionally in full Lursa makeup.

I felt that I did good by doing Lursa, because I'm a large woman - I'm 160 pounds, big bones, big everything. When I meet large women who come to conventions with their cleavage exposed, and for the first time feel proud of their bodies with a sense of dignity and a kind of sexual aggressiveness, I am so grateful. That's important. I'm so glad that those women can come out and feel like they're beautiful.
