Star Trek Coincidence

I like a good coincidence - so here's another! Today in 1952, Jonathan Frakes was born. He's probably most famous for playing Commander William Riker in "Star Trek: TNG". Today in 1938, Diana Muldaur was born. She played Doctor Pulaski in the second series of "TNG" and she also appeared in two episodes of the original "Star Trek". The final piece in the jigsaw is that today in 1921, Gene Roddenberry was born!
