Star Trek makeups: Deanna Troi the Romulan

In ‘Face of the Enemy’ (ep 6.14) Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) wakes up one morning to discover shes’s a Romulan secret agent aboard a Romulan warship and sharing it uncomfortably with Commander Toreth (Carolyn Seymour). It turns out to be one of Spock’s cunning plans: she’s been kidnapped and surgically altered to take part in a secret mission – implausible but at least it gave Marina the chance to try out a few new expressions (even to lose her rag): Deanna was one of those female characters (like Kes in Voyager) that Star Trek creates every so often and then realises they’re not very useful – this was one of the few episodes where she got much to do other than be generally supportive.

Michael Westmore was the makeup designer and supervisor on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
