The Breen join the war and side with the Dominion. Kai Winn turns on the Prophets, and with the assistance of Dukat summons the pah-wraiths. That was called There Are Worse Things I Could Do, based on the song that I sang as the original Rizzo in Grease.Benjamin Sisko discovers his mother was a Prophet, a new Dax host arrives on Deep Space 9, Odo discovers that his people have been infected with a fatal disease and Julian Bashir undertakes an assignment for Section 31. But it’s present-day and it gave me an opportunity to tell some stories about my career and about my industry in a veiled way, in a way I might not have told in my memoir, which was my first book. Among the other vampires are Orson Welles and Rudy Valentino. I basically wrote myself as a 450-year-old vampire who is a scream queen. It’s called Love Bites, and it’s a comedy-vampire-mystery-romance. What are you working on these days?īARBEAU: My second vampire book is out. But we both have a Star Trek connection, which is kind of fun. So Billy says, “I was carrying a spear for a year, but I got to work with Bob Wise and study him as a director.” Billy now mostly writes and produces (and has worked on such shows as Newhart, Martin and The Hughleys). So it was really supposed to a very big role. When they first hired him, it was before Mr. He even has the cast of his head sitting on his office wall. Somebody just gave me a photo of him (which Barbeau pulls out from beneath her table). Billy Van Zandt is your husband and he played the character credited as Alien Boy in Star Trek : The Motion Picture…īARBEAU: Exactly. In fact, my husband – and I didn’t know this it was many years before we met – was in the first film. So, that’s when I first started watching it. I didn’t watch the series, although I did have a boyfriend in the 80’s who had done a lot of stunt work on Star Trek. What’s it like to have so many people here approaching you to talk about it, asking you to sign photos of you as Cretac?īARBEAU: I’m a piece of this Star Trek phenomenon, and I was really pleased to be a piece of the phenomenon. Your episode is one little credit in a very long career. I don’t remember how easily it came off, but I don’t remember any pain or suffering getting it on. It seems to me that it went on very easily. They’d been doing it for so many years by the time I was on Deep Space Nine that I think they really had it down to a science. How about your makeup? Was that a horror show, no pun intended?īARBEAU: No, actually, it wasn’t. I must have gotten it down cold because they did hire me (laughs). So I did go in and audition for Star Trek, and it was a very difficult audition because the dialogue was very technical. They know you can act, but they need to see who most looks like the character, too. We’re surprised you even had to audition…īARBEAU: Actually, sometimes I will go into an audition and there are Academy Award-winning actresses there, but producers ask people to come in because they have an image of the character that you may or may not fit. What do you recall of the audition? Actually, when you did your role on Star Trek you were very established. I’ll maybe see something when it first comes out or first airs, but I don’t remember the details of doing it. The Trek fans had to tell me quite a bit about my episode because I’m not one of those people who usually sees her work. The Star Trek fans are very nice and reserved in relation to horror fans. This is actually my first Star Trek convention. How are you enjoying this whole experience, doing the Q&A, and now sitting here shaking hands, posing for pics and signing autographs?īARBEAU: Oh, this is lovely.
