Happy birthday, Gates McFadden

Labyrinth, dance choreographer
Moments of forbidden scientific romance such as that of:
"Encounter at Farpoint Station"
"The Best of Both Worlds" where she gives great empathy to the downed Captain Picard
"Remember Me" a world where she is separated from everyone else. Could've been darker, but interesting.
"Clues" she pulled off a great aspect of this mystery.
"The Host" Crusher falls for a Trill commander.
"Attached" You get the point
"Parallels" Crusher helps Worf

She was so popular that when she was replaced by Dr. Pulaski the second season, there was an uproar by the fans.
Her character,  Dr. Beverly Crusher's son, Wesley Crusher was based on Gene Roddenberry himself, to mixed results.
