BIOGRAPHY: Marina Sirtis was born to Greek parents who didn't want her to become an actress. As soon as Marina completed high school, she applied to the Guild Hall School of Music and Drama secretly. After her graduation, she worked in musical theater, repertory, and television. In 1986, she moved to Los Angeles, California. For six months she auditioned for parts but was unsuccessful. Just before she planned to go back home, she got the part of Counselor Deanna Troi in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987). In 1992 she married Michael Lamper, a rock guitarist.
TRIVIA:
- _Through the Fire (2002) (TV)_ (qv) was a sitcom pilot episode written by Marina's best friend, 'Michael Dorn (I)' (qv), and featured her as a cast member. It was never sold to a Network.
- When Marina came to America to pursue a career as an actress and got the role on Star Trek, Marina's mother did not believe her and thought that she was making it up as an excuse to stay in the States. It wasn't until season four of Star Trek that her mother really started to believe her. She saw a Deana Troi trading card from Star Trek.
- Fellow _"Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987)_ (qv) cast members 'Brent Spiner' (qv) and 'Michael Dorn (I)' (qv) were groomsmen at her wedding.
- Her character of Deanna Troi, and William Riker, are the only characters to appear in three of the Star Trek series' and the films. Although Riker would have four series appearances if you include Tom Riker's DS9 appearance.
- Played the stewardess in the now classic and famous Cinzano Bianco advert staring 'Leonard Rossiter' (qv) and 'Joan Collins' (qv). You may remember the end where Rossiter pats the arm of Joan Collin's seat causing it to suddenly recline and she ends up throwing the drink her own face. "Ah, getting your head down. Good idea," he says.
- She is a big soccer fan because her little brother Steve plays this sport in Greece.
