American writer who sold three stories to The Next Generation, writing The Most Toys and providing story material for Night Terrors and Violations.
Shari Goodhartz is an American television writer who contributed to Star Trek: The Next Generation as a freelancer during its third to fifth seasons.
She wrote The Most Toys, in which the collector Kivas Fajo fakes Data's death in order to add the android to his private gallery, an episode remembered for its ambiguous ending. She then supplied the story for Night Terrors, in which the crew are deprived of dreams while trapped in a rift, and shared the story credit on Violations, about a telepathic historian who assaults the minds of the crew.
She later wrote for animated series including Gargoyles and Aeon Flux.
