Lori Petty (born 14 October 1963; age 44) is an American actress who played Noss in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Gravity".
Petty is probably best known for her role as Kit Keller in the popular 1992 film A League of Their Own, in which Ann Cusack, Mark Holton, David L. Lander and Anne Elizabeth Ramsay also had roles. She has also gained recognition for her performances in other films such as Cadillac Man (1990), Point Break (1991, with Jack Kehler and Christopher Pettiet), Free Willy (1993, with Richard Riehle), In the Army Now (1994, with Andy Dick and Glenn Morshower), The Glass Shield (with Erich Anderson, Bernie Casey, Victoria Dillard, Jim Fitzpatrick, Natalia Nogulich and Biff Yeager), and especially the cult 1995 action comedy Tank Girl. She starred in the title role in this film, and as a result, her status has been elevated to that of cult icon. Tank Girl also featured fellow Star Trek alumni Malcolm McDowell, Jeff Kober, Reg E. Cathey, Ann Cusack, and Iggy Pop.
One of Petty's earliest television appearances was in the 1987 made-for-TV movie Bates Motel, co-starring Robert Picardo and Gregg Henry. Since then, she has appeared on such TV series as Miami Vice, NYPD Blue, and CSI: NY. She was also a regular on the series Brimstone (1998-99), which co-starred DS9 guest star John Glover (as the Devil). Petty also voiced the villainous "Livewire" on the Superman and Batman animated series in 1997 and 1998.
Petty is currently set to appear in a film called The Last Guy on Earth, written and directed by Star Trek: Enterprise guest actor and Glass Shield co-star Jim Fitzpatrick. Whoopi Goldberg is also a part of the cast.
