35 Star Trek Actors Who Died In 2022

21. Pamela Kosh

Uhura Star Trek
CBS

Whether Star Trek fans will remember Pamela Kosh for her stellar turn as Titania, in the amateur rehearsals for A Midsummer Night's Dream, or as her alter-ego Mrs. Carmichael, or indeed, her alter-alter ego, Jessel - Pamela left a huge mark on the franchise with several appearances. Each time she appeared, she was able to stick in the memory of the audience with the clever use of only a few lines. She was not to be trifled with as the Irish landlady from whom the crew were renting a home in Time's Arrow, and was the only one brave enough to point out that Data 'looked like a bloody skunk' with the streak of grey in his hair.

She may be better known to some as Mrs. Simpson from Saved By The Bell, or as Lavinia Peach from Days Of Our Lives. In any role, Kosh brought an enthusiasm that was hard to beat.

She was born in the UK but became a US citizen in 1968. She and her husband constructed, then managed, the Golden Mall Playhouse in California from 1973 - 1981. A case of mistaken identity saw her pronounced deceased in 2020, owing to confusion with another person with the same name. Suffice it to say, she bounced back!

She passed away peacefully in 2022, at the age of 93.
