Star Trek legend Marina Sirtis punched fan at convention after rude jibe about appearance

Marina commented: “People think I’m Deanna Troi. I’m not. I’m literally the opposite of Deanna Troi.

“People say to me, ‘What do you have in common?’ And I say, ‘Where the same height and that’s about it.'”

Marina’s iconic role as Deanna saw her embody a female Betazoid-Human hybrid Star Fleet commander from the 24th century.

The Star Trek series, which spanned 178 episodes over seven seasons, aired in the 80s and ran into the 90s.

Marina recently made her West End stage debut in a play called Dark Sublime in 2019, which tells the story of Marianne, a freelance actor and now-forgotten icon of a British sci-fi TV show.
