Denise Crosby talks a bit about leaving TNG

[MIB41]

I personally met her at Wonderfest last year. Funny, insightful, intelligent and an incredibly under-appreciated talent.

Thanks for posting that! That was really very cool!

I remember hearing back in the day that she left the show after losing out to Sharon Stone for the part of Arnold's wife in Total Recall. I think she blamed TNG for not getting the part. At least that was the rumor at the time.

^ I'm glad all of you enjoyed the clip!

Yeah...I know She's too vague about the juicy details for my tastes, too, but this was the only clip I stumbled upon in which she talked about leaving TNG at all!

I'll keep my eyes peeled!

Its truly appreciated

Glad she embraced "her mistake"

The Trek franchise is that much richer
for her post-quitting involvement

Thanks for sharing that. I had no idea she was younger than I am.

Firstly K, I wanna say "thanks" for linking that clip
I want to add though, that she doesn't talk about her departure until the
very end---and unfortunately keeps the deatails very vague-
--I want the JUICY stuff heh-heh
Again, thanks though--and it was an interesting listen.

Hi, Everyone.

A few folks, including myself, posted in some other TNG threads about why Denise left TNG and if she ever spoke about it.

I found this video clip and at the end, she addresses that subject, along with not really knowing grandfather Bing and directing Trekkies and Trekkies 2. Enjoy!
