Nana Visitor
A lithe TV actress with reddish brown hair and a healthy level of nervous energy, very prolific in TV guest spots since the late 1970s, Nana Visitor can be found playing a wide variety of roles on series ranging from "MacGyver" to "Doogie Howser, M.D." and "Murder, She Wrote." Her first try at a regular role in a series, "Working Girl," with Sandra Bullock in the lead, fizzled after eight episodes. Visitor rebounded several years later, though, with "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (1993-99), in which she gained favorable viewer response as the feisty, indeed punchy, Bajoran officer Major Kira.
