I just found out that Patti Yasutake passed away a few days ago. It is interesting because many Trek reaction channels are getting to her episode debut on TNG. Patti played the popular character Nurse Alyssa Ogawa. She was also up for the role of Keiko O'Brien, but that didn’t happen. She was also by Dr. Crusher’s side during her five years and two movie appearances. Her biggest role was in the fan-favorite Lower Decks. I am surprised the Lower Decks TV show didn’t bring her back.
Not only that, but she had some major and sometimes funny moments. Remember her scene in The Game? She was in countless movies and films. Her TV career blew up in the early 2000s. Heck, she was even in the horrible Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot. I would have loved to have talked to her about the BTS stuff there. She was even in BioShock: Infinite as a VO actress.
She died from T-cell lymphoma which is a form of cancer. It isn’t good and can form and grow fast. That is probably what happened to her. She died at UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center. She will be missed.
Here is her Hallmark commercial. I remember this ad.
