17: Dana Sparks, Ensign Williams from Star Trek TNG "Contagion"

Published: Aug. 27, 2020, 4:05 a.m.

Dana Sparks has accomplished a lot in Hollywood and has an extensive resume to prove it. Fans of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" will remember Dana from her appearances in the episode "Contagion" as Ensign Williams. We discuss her memories of the TNG set, wearing the uniform, interacting with Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, and Wil Wheaton on the bridge of the Enterprise.


We also chat about working with Julie Andrews and Jack Lemmon in one of her earliest roles, working on "Falcon Crest," fond memories of Angela Lansbury on "Murder, She Wrote," having caviar dropped in her hair by Bob Saget on "Full House," remembering an obscure show called "Gabriel’s Fire” that starred James Earl Jones, and her time in the peculiar soap opera “Passions.”
