Blind Date

Did you know, that before she joined the Starship USS Enterprise-D, Counselor Deanna Troi was a sex worker?

Excuse me, I should say that back in 1984, actress Marina Sirtis had a small part in a slasher movie called Blind Date (not to be confused with the Bruce Willis/Kim Basinger flick from 1986).

In Blind Date '84, Sirtis played a sex worker who had a dangerous run-in with the killer.

A barefoot, topless Sirtis gets her wrists tied to the head of a bed by the killer. Of course, she doesn't know he's the killer; she thinks he's just another customer--until it's too late.

There's a nice on-screen moment as we watch her hands get tied together, and then above her head to the headboard.

While her character in this slasher film doesn't survive (BOO!), Marina would go on to worldwide fame as Troi. She would play Troi for the last time (maybe?) in the third season of Star Trek: Picard. If you're an ST:TNG fan, and haven't seen the third and last season of Picard, then you really need to see it because it's great.
