Tracey Lee Cocco, a background actress for Star Trek: TNG. She never delivered dialogue, but someone counted, and she was in more Star Trek episodes than William Shatner was. Jonathan Frakes supposedly gave her character the name of “Lt. Jae” in an on the spot ad lib. 

Whoever Lt. Jae was, she was clearly a well rounded crewman with a broad skill set. She was seen doing dozens of different jobs, from conn to technical work, and she clearly was extremely friendly with the otherwise aloof Picard and Riker.

One of the differences between the Japanese and US release of Legendary Wings is that in the Japanese version, one of the two players was a female warrior given the Wings of Ares, Michelle Heart. 

In the US version, the one and two player characters are just red and blue identical winged male commandos, possibly due to the belief that a mostly male audience wouldn’t be able to project themselves into a female character. Despite never having been seen in America, however, Michelle Heart is often referenced by Camcom, a company with a strong sense of institutional memory. 

On a similar note, when sifting through the codes of the Taito Superman beat em up (you know, the one with the music), sprites were discovered that showed the second player may originally have been meant to be none other than Supergirl instead of a bafflingly unexplained Red Superman:

You might remember Canadian actress and fitness model Vicki Pratt from her guest appearances on nearly every single syndicated show of the 1990s. 

The reason for this was simple: in the 1990s, US productions did a lot of television production in Canada (specifically, British Columbia) because of tax incentives and loopholes, and as a local tanned, fit Canadian with ultra-ripped abs (the mid to late 90s was the first era women having visible abs was “the look”), she was the right person in the right place at the right time. 

In fact, part of the reason there were so many smaller companies filming in Canada in the mid to late 90s was because tax loopholes allowed Producers-esque “creative accounting” that was borderline illegal, and certainly unethical. So yes, shady accounting practices were to blame for the existence of your favorite Canada-filmed 90s syndicated shows that in most markets were dumped on Saturdays or Sundays (Stargate SG-1 being the standout of this era everyone remembers). That’s also the reason a lot of them were just plain lousy: they didn’t exist to entertain you, but were mainly a financial scam. 

Some people, rather chauvinistically, I might add, attribute Vicki Pratt’s career to her husband, big shot Canadian director T.J. Scott (yes, as in Star Trek Discovery) but actually, as near as I can determine, initially, it was in fact the other way around: as in Vicki Pratt’s connections got her husband directing jobs on series she worked on, which he used to create a resume early on.

Does she dance very beautifully? Who? The girl you’re in love with. Yes, very. The girl you’re engaged to. The girl you’re going to marry. Oh, I don’t know. I’ve danced with you. I’m never going to dance again.
