Marina Sirtis brought warmth, grace, and a touch of Betazoid mystique to the USS Enterprise-D as Counselor Deanna Troi in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
With her empathic abilities and soothing presence, she served as both a bridge officer and the emotional anchor for the crew, helping them navigate everything from interstellar diplomacy to personal crises.
Whether offering sage advice, decoding alien intentions, or sharing a chocolate obsession with her best friend, Troi was a fan favorite for her charm and depth. Sirtis’s portrayal added a unique layer of humanity (and Betazoid humor) to the Star Trek universe, making her an enduring icon in the franchise.
