To Boldly Go: The Women of "Star Trek"12 of 24
As Keiko O'Brien, Rosalind Chao played one of the civilians aboard the Enterprise in both "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine." O'Brien is a botanist who later becomes a school teacher, and is married to Transporter Chief Miles O'Brien (Colm Meany).
Chao has said she's been struck by how loyal and how invested "Star Trek" fans are in the characters they love. "The fans will notice me on the street and ask me questions about Keiko's personal relationships, especially the female fans. They're very concerned, because they want her to maintain her career."
