Introduction
Terry Farrell, an American actress and former fashion model, is best known for her roles in the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Becker.
Life Story
Terry Farrell was born in 1963 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. At age 15, she became a foreign exchange student to Mexico, and, from that experience, she decided she would like to live a more adventurous life in the big city. She sent several photos to a modeling agency and then, at age 17, dropped out of high school and became a model in New York.
She is most famously known for her role as Jadzia Dax in the TV show "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (1993), but she did have some acting experience before that. In 1992, she had the star role in the movie Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992). She appeared in several TV and straight-to-video movies, and also dated actors Michael Dorn and Mickey Rourke while on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (1993).
Afterward, Paramount decided to move her to the show "Becker" (1998), where she played the character Reggie Kostas, but, after four seasons, she was replaced by Nancy Travis. Since then, she hasn't been in many mainstream events. In September of 2002, she married Brian Baker.
