Robin Curtis as Saavik in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.

Robin Curtis (born June 15, 1956 in New York Mills, New York, USA) is an American actress. Her most notable role was as the Vulcan Lt. Saavik in the Star Trek films, having replaced Kirstie Alley in the role. Although her first appearance as 'Saavik' in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock was promoted as being her film debut, in fact Curtis had already made several film and made-for-television movie appearances.

In 1993, Curtis played an unrelated Vulcan character ('Tallera/T'Paal') in the two-part episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation "Gambit". In the Babylon 5 episode "Deathwalker" she appeared as the Abbai Ambassador Kalika, and other series such as Dream On, Herman's Head, Night Court, MacGyver, Johnny Bago, and on General Hospital as 'Carol Pulaski'. She co-starred in the episode "Short Notice" during the first season of the Knight Rider television series.

Curtis has filmed more than 75 commercials, including campaigns for American Express, PaineWebber and International Coffees.

Since 2004, Curtis has worked successfully as a residential Real Estate agent in addition to her acting career. In mid-2005 she debuted her one-woman show, a work-in-progress, Not My Bra, You Don't! - The Sexual Odyssey of a Forty-Nine Year Old Woman and makes infrequent appearances at Star Trek conventions throughout the world.

A career interview with Curtis will be published in Talkin' Trek and Other Stories by Anthony Wynn, coming from BearManor Media in 2007.
