Gates McFadden is perhaps best known the world over as Doctor Beverly Crusher, the Chief Medical Officer of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC 1701-D. Yet before she even signed up for Starfleet, McFadden worked for the Jim Henson company as a Muppet choreographer for the films The Dark Crystal, Dreamchild, and Labyrinth. At this time she used the name Cheryl McFadden, and for Labyrinth, McFadden also choreographed the big ballroom dance number, where Sarah and the Goblin King danced together among a group of people clad in 18th century costumes and goblin masks. Aside from her role as Crusher--which she played in six seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation, as well as four Next Gen movies--McFadden can also be briefly seen as Jack Ryan's wife in The Hunt For Red October. She's also guest-starred in many TV shows.
