More people know her from Lost, another boring-ass, disappointing JJ Abrams shit show. The rest of us will forever love her as Ambassador Delenn on Babylon 5, the Sci-Fi program which had consequences and real intrigue while the other two Star Trek shows were mostly Matlock in Space and/or boring resets at the end of the hour.
Mira did a great job and being Croatian probably helped add some validity to her alien accent. I’m glad they scaled back the makeup/appliances after Babylon 5‘s pilot, they gave her an ugly-ass chin. B5‘s creator, J. Michael Straczynski was definitely a fan of her work too. Rumor had it when I tried to get B5 back out there with more movies or something, Warner Brothers’ executives wanted new cast members, people the general public recognized. JMS wanted his show’s regulars, including Mira so he walked away.
Thank you for everything Mira. You were awesome and Delenn remains a favorite alien character in my lexicon.
