British actor, known for About Time and Requiem, who played Kalara, the alien survivor whose plea for help lures the Enterprise to Altamid in Star Trek Beyond.
Lydia Wilson is a British actor, born in 1984 and trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Her screen work includes Never Let Me Go, About Time, the series Ripper Street and the lead in the BBC drama Requiem.
In Star Trek Beyond (2016) she plays Kalara, who arrives at Starbase Yorktown in an escape pod claiming that her ship is stranded inside a nearby nebula. Her story is bait: she serves Krall, and the rescue mission leads the Enterprise into the swarm attack that destroys it. Kirk later exposes her on the surface and she is killed when the wrecked saucer section is flipped over.
Records from the USS Franklin identify her as Jessica Wolff, one of its original crew, with her speech rendered by a translator.
