According to one source--Wikipedia--it was contract disputes. She asked for more money and they dumped her. I get why she wanted to leave DS9 after six years, but I never thought Becker was quite the right vehicle for her. Too bad something like "Desperate Housewives" wasn't around at the time.
Hey, the Wiki I read revealed too interesting things. One, Farrell auditioned for a US version of the Brit scifi series "Red Dwarf". I never knew there was an attempt to create a US version of that show. The other thing is that in 2001, a dude named William Kwong Yu Yeung discovered a new asteroid, and named it 26734 Terryfarrell in her honour. Talk about a fan! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Farrell_%28actress%29 -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L.
