She is best known for her role as Counselor Deanna Troi in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation and four Star Trek feature films: Star Trek Generations (1994), Star Trek: First Contact (1996), Star Trek: Insurrection (1998), and Star Trek: Nemesis (2002).

I first saw Maria at Collectormania Glasgow in August 2008. I attended her Q&A panel but did not meet her. Not long after I 'won' a signed photo at one of the Collectormanias in Glasgow, probably around 2010. In August 2022 I had a picture with her taken at Film & Comic Con Glasgow.
