Talk:Chelsea Bond

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

[edit] Two actresses

After a lot of research I've finally created this article. The IMDb page and this page show Chelsea Bond. Here is another shot of her from Prescriptions. However IMDb also credited Tracey A. Kimball as the actress who played the Lorillian mother in Broken Bow. Kimball has also credits here and here, where she list her appearances in Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Enterprise as recurring appearances.

I do not know, but these two actresses look so different and I do not believe they are the same person. I was able to contact Ms. Kimball on her e-mail address and her answers were very friendly. However, she cannot prove that she appeared in these episodes. According to Ms. Kimball, a fire after a dispute with an ex-friend destroyed her call sheets/ contracts/ memorabilia. She was not able to tell me any names of fellow extras, who shot scenes with her, with the exception of two names I've mentioned in an e-mail.

As for her appearances:

• Starfleet cadet #3 in Voyager's "Endgame" - after two request (and I've sent her all pics of cadets), she didn't told me who she is.
• Alien in ENT's "Broken Bow" - she agreed, she played the Lorillian mother, but she looks different and the other Chelsea Bond fits exactly with the pic from the episode.
• Cadet in ENT's "Deadstop" - she wrote to me she played the bright red-headed cadet in the scene on the planet behind Trip and Reed. However, in this scene are not many women, and the only red-head in actress Marnie Martin, identified by Hilde Garcia's homepage.
• Alien in ENT's "Marauders" - she wrote she played an alien woman on the planet and performed roles and drops in a fight with the Klingons. However, in this episode is only one woman who performs these actions, stuntwoman Leigh Hennessy

After I've sent her more pics (of Marnie Martin and Leigh Hennessy), she did not respond again. For the explanation why two names (Kimball and Bond), she wrote me when she started acting she was told to take an artistic name, Chelsea Lee Bond, but when she shot her first project (Broken Bow), and returned home, she decided to take her real name, because she is proud of it.

But on IMDb are credits from 1992 on...and her first project was "Broken Bow"?

I am sorry if I am totally wrong, but before anyone couldn't prove it that these two women are indeed the same person or Kimball really appeared in a Star Trek episode, I will not write Kimball's article on this site.

Anyone comments or explanations? Just thought I've share these results. – Tom 12:05, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
