American actor who played Yvette Picard, the troubled mother of Jean-Luc Picard, in the childhood memories that run through the second season of Star Trek: Picard.
Madeline Wise is an American actor with credits in television comedy and drama.
In the second season of Star Trek: Picard she plays Yvette Picard, glimpsed from the first episode, The Star Gazer, in flashes of memory at the family chateau. Yvette had previously appeared as an elderly vision, played by Herta Ware, in the Next Generation episode Where No One Has Gone Before.
Wise has her largest scenes in Monsters and Hide and Seek. They show Yvette as a loving, imaginative parent suffering from an untreated mental illness, and reveal that she took her own life after her young son let her out of a locked room, a guilt Picard carried in silence.
