British-born film star (1929–2010) of Hamlet, Guys and Dolls and Spartacus, who played the retired investigator Admiral Norah Satie in the fourth-season episode The Drumhead.
Jean Simmons was a British-born actor, born in 1929, whose film career ran from Great Expectations and Laurence Olivier's Hamlet, which brought her an Academy Award nomination, to Guys and Dolls, Elmer Gantry and Spartacus.
A Star Trek viewer herself, she guest stars in the fourth-season Next Generation episode The Drumhead, directed by Jonathan Frakes and first shown in 1991. She plays Rear Admiral Norah Satie, brought out of retirement to investigate suspected sabotage aboard the Enterprise. Her inquiry grows into a hunt for traitors that fastens on a young crewman with a Romulan grandfather and at last on Picard himself.
Simmons died in 2010.
