Marina Sirtis interviewed on Ch. 13 News 11/8/1993

[@mistersharkfilms]

She's amazing. Nice to see how the actors held the fans in such high regard, unlike today.

[@mikebasil4832]

I always liked Marina as Deanna Troi. I read that she was almost cast in another sci-fi series which was Blake's 7. That could have been interesting. But she was certainly most worthy of Star Trek.

[@sosaix3545]

Dear Lord I don't know that I've ever seen her look so stunning. Man...

[@senorpepper3405]

Yeah, she was fine. And back when ladies had hair down there.

[@DanK123]

Marina is an amazing woman. I didn't realize just HOW close this cast was until I saw Marina talk about how crushed she was after they shot the last episode. Yes they moved right on to shooting the film Generations, but the day to day job of working her friends and having a blast every day (even with those LONG days) was over. She just cried and cried walking around the sets. So sad. That time of their lives was over. Films are great, but it's just different than shooting 26 episodes a season on the Paramount lot. And she is so funny, so honest and so real. Like a Joan Rivers type really. Lover her so much. All the characters are great, but she's truly one of the best in the cast. She grew so much after season 1.

[@02ujtb00626]

100% agree. She loved her time there. And the cast were so bonded. It is no wonder they all agreed to do Picard. One final hoorah for the tng crew they and we loved so much. Picard was truly a bittersweet and final ending to our and their TNG era.

[@tuttt99]

I love her convention talks. She is very personable and her stories are hilarious.

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

Man, she was something. A very lovely women, then and now.

[@jokerswildio]

This is the woman who made me turn into a Trekkie. I only watched TNG because I was drawn to her beauty....but now I am hooked on Voyager and Deep Space 9 because the storytelling is excellent.

[@WujekFu]

The same goes for me. At the age of 7 she was my first children crush and because of her all my girlfriends were brunettes, not to mention my wife.

[@LonesomeTraveller]

Barclay, is that you?

[@jacksonconley5117]

You could call her a Greek Goddess.

[@l337pwnage]

I wouldn't have guessed Greek, but definitely near that region of the world. I also think some people get liberal with the word "Greek".

Truth Will Out You

[@PE4Doers]

I have to say this - I've had the hots for Marina as far back as I can remember.

[@02ujtb00626]

And to this day she is still so thankful the fans and everyrhing Star Trek granted her. She is HILARIOUS in conventions, and all around a class act who, as she wanted, respects where she came from and how she ended up. Marina is a treasure.

[@robwebnoid5763]

This interview with her in that see-thru blouse, the choker & the straightened brown hair, that all just makes her a looker here, especially the hair. Not only that, but she still had her youth, in 1993. Looks like she has some Star Trek pinball machine in the background there at her home.

[@justininfrance]

Wow, no idea Sirtis was British, no idea her weird accent on the show wasn't her own, and she's waaayy more beautiful than her character Troi.

[@skipdow3]

As she said in this clip.... She's Greek. She has a Cockney accent when she's away from fans. They made her get rid of all accent because she said they didn't want any more English accents , except Piccards . She told us that at a get-together about 25 years ago.

[@jwuk11345]

@@skipdow3 although weirdly she has a British accent in the movie

[@chrisbean]

I think her real ccent is wonderful.

[@phily8093]

I can't bear her accent. It's the worst mixture of mangled vowels, from cockney England and Hollywood. She's a nice lady, but her voice is like nails on a chalk board to me.

[@RaikenXion]

Nah but troi looked dank with her hair up though in the early series. Damn!

[@antred11]

She looks so different in this interview, I wouldn't even have recognized her at all!

[@oakenshanks]

thats why they call it acting... she wore a hair piece and black contact lenses for the trek.

[@skipdow3]

She's only about 30 years older here, than she was during the series. We age, some more than others

[@jakerazmataz852]

She looks better here than in any episode. IMO.

[@sameaster5150]

She never looked better

[@craigsmith2030]

Marina got more and more beautiful as TNG went on, she had relationships with Riker, and Worf if memory serves me right, also marina stayed beautiful as she got older. Definately a greek godess, and the part of the half Batezoid ships councellor deanna troi was spot on for marina.

[@Hawthorne-Studios]

No way with Worf! Say it isn't so! LOL

[@craigsmith2030]

​@Hawthorne-Studios I'm pretty sure she had a time with worf, as I remember riker getting jealous, I may be wrong but I'm sure in TNG she had a relationship with worf, maybe not for long though, 👍

[@EQOAnostalgia]

HAHAHAHAHA those shoulder pads from the news anchor... my god. The early 90's were too rad. She truly was gorgeous, and that goth style outfit really suits her well.

[@frankbrown4780]

It turns out she just has big shoulders.

[@Nautilus1972]

[@domls1317]

@@domls1317 I never got it either, was it to try and make women more masculine?

"You called him a cross between his planet and his name!" She sounds so English when she says this (yes I know she is from London)

[@petercoologeorgen9477]

I met her in a ST convention in Chicago. I was in line to have a picture taken of the 3 of us. I greeted her in our Greek language and she was surprised and happy. We got to talk for a bit.

[@marklaechel4537]

Wow she is stunning in this interview

[@kallemattila5870]

[@rossdawgsbrokenspirit9038]

[@Mintylight]

Realizing injustices makes many wanna fight against them. I think that is what you are sensing. Rather than people who are willing to be just pissed on and keep smiling to not make fuss.

[@RecklessFables]

@@Mintylight Exactly. Any young and successful actor has been vetted by the producers for how "agreeable" they are and how well they present the brand. As soon as one gets uppity they stop receiving offers.

She is a good actress and plays the part well

[@ohrofax]

it would be nice to see her on the star trek convention next year

[@Network126]

Yeah

[@Foxstab]

She was nervous. Very nervous. Throughout the early episodes you can see her twiddling with her fingers whenever she's doing a scene and not knowing what to do with her arms, throwing them around throughout.

[@RaikenXion]

Gosh she looks Elegant here, Marina very much the Lady. Amazing seeing those old pictures of her very young lol.

[@gutz1981]

Honestly, she started to look so much hotter in her 40s when she finally straightened her hair and changed her style a bit. Seeing her when she was in 30 in Death Wish, she was nothing special at the time. But boy did she get better with age.

[@John-ct9zs]

A lot of that likely had to do with more money, more makeup, better diet and exercise

[@Xsuprio]

4:10 Boy... that's quite a different tone from Brent and... whoever played Q. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall them not thinking too highly of their ST fans. That is to say... I think Brent once came off kind of offended when people don't know about his other work.
