Biography and Career
Gates McFadden was born on March 2, 1949 in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, USA. She is an American Actress and choreographer.
She attended Brandeis University graduating cum laude with a bachelor of arts in theatre arts. After graduating she moved to Paris and studied theatre with actor Jacques LeCoq.
McFadden often worked for Jim Henson productions, including the films "The Dark Crystal" (as choreographer), "Labyrinth" (as Director of Choreography and Puppet Movement), and "The Muppets Take Manhattan" (choreographer and a brief on-screen appearance).

actress and "Cheryl McFadden" as a choreographer.

"The Host" was a romance for the Doctor with a man with a big secret. McFadden reprised her role for all four TNG movies and also provided her voice for PC Games Star Trek: A Final Unity and Star Trek: Generations.
In 1990 comedy "Taking Care of Business" starred "James Belushi", co-starred McFadden and another "TNG" actor, "John DeLancie" (aka Q).
