Star Trek passings

This is very sad news. She was a very sweet woman when I met her. Far, FAR from her Kai Winn or Nurse Ratched roles.

She was so soft spoken... I remember her voice was rather hypnotic while we were talking. I am so very glad I got to actually meet the real person behind those memorable roles. (Not that I think actors are just like the characters they portray... I'm sure I'm just rambling now.)

Rest in peace.

She was such a great actress at playing Kai Winn.

As she once said, "I played Kai Winn, a character everyone loved to hate." And she loved that.

If she ever wanted to go into the world of "Pro Wrestling", she would've been great as Heel Manager / Mouth Piece for a Heel Wrestler.

According to Andy Poulastides on Twitter, Fabio Passaro, a 3D artist whose work appeared in several Star Trek tie-ins and productions dating back to 2002, died yesterday. He might be most familiar to the people on this forum for recreating or modernizing many of the 3D models used for the Eaglemoss starship miniatures line, some of which appeared on-screen in the second season of Picard.

Fabio was already a key figure in the Sci-Fi 3D fan-artist community when I first began getting into it around the turn of the century, on forums like the Babylon 5 Modeler's Guild, which is also how Andy knew him. By coincidence, he'd created and released his first models for Ray Dream Studio, a dinky little 3D program which was my first step into the form, thanks to a demo included on a CD-ROM that came with a computer magazine, and he was producing some of the best models for that app, ones that approached what I was seeing on TV and movies in terms of quality rather than just basic spheres and cubes arranged more-or-less into spaceship-shapes. That gave me a leg up in first exploring it as a hobby, and it would not be too far to say that without his generosity to the community, and his example in advancing his skills and eventually going pro, I might not be where I am today. I didn't know him personally, it has to have been well over a decade since we spoke even indirectly on a forum like this one, but it's a shock.
 
I have collected some of his 3D artwork also and it's a damn shame to lose a great artist. I know that Graham Gazzard just got out of the hospital for some gastric surgery.
 
I mostly remember him as Beverley Leslie on Will and Grace, he was always a hoot. :(
 
It's been reported that Greg Bear, scifi author, Trek contributor, has suffered a massive stroke, is unconscious and unlikely to recover. Family may remove life support this week. THIS IS UNCONFIRMED. This was reported in wikipedia.
