They never got into it in the movies, but Saavik was supposed to have been half-Romulan.

She was quite good in that role.
Sucks.

Closest I've ever come to having a celebrity client. The thing didnt end up happening though. Was bummed. Seemed like a quite a character.
Lt Savaak was so good!

Fund research.

There is no cure for stage4 cancer. But we probably have the tools to really make a dent in it.

C'mon, man.
Did she die from emphysema? COPD? Heart disease?
Do you know if she ate red meat? Worked downtown on 9/11? Grew up under power lines?

Fun fact: 20% of all lung cancer cases have never touched tobacco. Any living human with at least 1 lung in their chest is at risk of developing lung cancer, a horrific disease with few good treatments and terrible outcomes. Again, we need to fund research.

Btw she died from colon cancer.

the episode where unemployed Norm was working at a beer company in his dream job of beer taste tester, and the company loved his great work and scheduled an interview for a permanent role, which was merely a formality.

So Rebecca gives Norm advice for the interview which he follows and completely and embarrassingly blows the interview and is summarily fired. She did a great job of conveying her own dissapointment with her life and career through acting and without exposition, trying to help out Norm. Great comedic acting and episode in general.

Plus she was a hot Vulcan.

Sure, non-smokers can get lung lung cancer. People who eat heathy and exercise die of heart attacks too. But in either case, the less healthy lifestyle is far more likely to cause an early death.

And smoking doesn’t just damage your lungs. People who smoke are more likely to contract colon cancer. And among those who have colon cancer, smokers are more likely to die.

Anyway, my comment wasn’t about disparagement, just some context.

She was great

on Cheers! Always appreciated her in interviews, appeared real genuine. Struggled with her weight over the years, but an interesting person.
