TV star turned 70
“Star Trek” nurse Yasutake has died
The American TV actress Patti Yasutake (70) has died. She was known to a large audience as Nurse Alyssa Ogawa from the science fiction series "Star Trek - The Next Generation" (1987 to 1994) (see video above).
The actress died of cancer on Monday in Los Angeles, according to her longtime manager. Yasutake was 70 years old. After starting out in the theater in the mid-1980s, she was successful in the TV business for almost four decades. She made numerous guest appearances in series such as "In Case of Amy" and "Pretty Little Liars". Sister Ogawa played her in 16 episodes of "Star Trek - The Next Generation".
Ogawa was only one of two people of Asian descent to make recurring appearances in the series, wrote editor Christine Dinh. "A rarity at a time when so few people appeared on screen in Western media that I could count them on one hand."
The late actress lived in Hollywood.
