They may have hired Jeri Ryan for her beauty, but Seven of Nine turned out to be one of the best characters in the entire Star Trek fanchise. Voyager certainly got stronger when she joined the cast.

Met her in person this past August at a Star Trek convention. Still beautiful, and such a great human being too

7 of 9 was an absolute home run. Not only was she a bombshell but she was also a likeable character with a great backstory played by an exceptional actor. That is a goldmine for a tv show in the 4th season on the edge of being canceled.

They hired her to save the show and she did. The eye candy factor worked. I wonder if they knew how good she could really act and sing. The episode that strikes me is the one where she had multiple personalities . That should have won an award.

I have to admit, watching her walk around Voyager in her body suits was kind of mesmerizing. But her character was really interesting, too, and 7 of 9 added a lot of good story lines.

[RobertRavoalavoson]

And she is still lovely, 25 years later.

[TimAtkinson-qssv]

Love her and her character. She seems to be a humble person. Jeri, you were one of the reasons I watched the show!!!!

[vortexgen]

Jeri is a really good sport in this clip.

Boy 7 of 9, growing up she was my pin up girl. She was one of the finest women on tv at the time. And she still is today.

Jeri Ryan as 7 of 9 had the most mesmerizing walk in history. 🥹

Jeri is a 10/10 in beauty and an amazing 9.5/10 in acting. Stunning babe honestly. True beauty with brains.

[RandyWinn]

They brought her onto Voyager for eye candy (and certainly worked!) but she proved to be perhaps the best actor on the show.

[jamespratt]

The only crime in her role as seven of nine is that she didn’t have the opportunity to smile enough. She has a stunning smile.

[varrick]

First time I've ever seen her interviewed she is so sweet and nice. No pretense at all. Very pretty but her smile is her best feature.

[peterk]

7 of 9 must've been such a fantastic character to play, those internal conflicts she had and her journey back to re-discovering her humanity, plus her fondness of Naomi Wildman that she couldn't understand to start with, Jeri played it so well.

[jazz]

She was and still is one of the prettiest women on TV.

[mrI]

Now I understand why my dad was always watching Star Trek...

[Jim_L]

This interview was way too short. She had a great playful sense of humor that worked well with Conan's comedic talents. I would have loved for her to have been given more time. 😄

I saw Loverboy at an annual venue in Mobile Alabama about 15 years ago. They started out performing their usual songs. But then they broke into an extended session doing covers of The Doors. Their lead singer (Mike Reno) sounded very much like Jim Morrison and the whole band really payed a great tribute to that legendary band. The whole mood of the audience changed, everyone was impressed. My respect for Loverboy went way up after that night.

The later seasons of Voyager had some of the best Star Trek episodes of the entire franchise. It's always been the most underrated ST series.
