This incredible actress and activist first appeared onscreen as Ensign Robin Lefler, a Starfleet officer, in two episodes in 1991. After this, her career skyrocked to the epic-ness that it is now.
Vulcan Valeris – Kim Cattrall
If you only know Cattrall as Samantha Jones from Sex and the City then boy are you in for a shock. Valeris was actually mentored by Captain Spock and became the first Vulcan to graduate at the top of her class. Kim Cattrall helped to design her character’s headband, she also suggested her hairstyle and helped in naming the character! Safe to say that Cattrall went on to have an incredible career.
