Sharon Lawrence is an American actress best known for her Emmy-nominated role as Sylvia Costas in NYPD Blue.
In The 37's, the opening episode of Voyager's second season, she played Amelia Earhart. The crew find a group of humans abducted from Earth in 1937 and held in cryostasis on a distant planet, among them the vanished pilot and her navigator Fred Noonan.
Once revived, Earhart is at first suspicious, then forms a rapport with Captain Janeway, who admires her as a pioneer. She is offered a place aboard Voyager but chooses to stay with the thriving human colony descended from the other abductees.
