Tricia O'Neil

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tricia O'Neil (born March 11, 1945) is an American actress.

Born in Shreveport, Louisiana, O'Neil began her career as a model and cover girl before turning to acting. She first appeared in television commercials, then was cast many popular television series. She played Dr. Maggie "Mo" Sullivan in the early, first season episode "Black Day at Bad Rock" of The A-Team (NBC, 1983), and was popular enough to be one of the very few guest characters to return in a later episode (the second season episode "Deadly Maneuveres", 1983). Other appearances include Hart To Hart (1979, ABC), as female stunt woman "Charlie" in the episode of the same name in the first season of The Fall Guy (1981, ABC), Remington Steele (1982), as a pushy reporter in the second season episode "Catch Of The Day" in Riptide, (1984, NBC), and as the owner of a travelling Wild West Rodeo show in the third season Airwolf episode "Annie Oakley" (1985).

She portrayed the first (and so far only) female captain of an Enterprise (NCC-1701-C) Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987, syndicated) and the Earth Alliance President in the Babylon 5 tv movie Babylon 5: In the Beginning (1998).

O'Neil's screen credits include Piranha II: The Spawning and Titanic.

O'Neil received a Theatre World Award for her performance in the Broadway musical Two by Two with Danny Kaye.
