I saw Nana Visitor on an episode of Matlock last night. I
didn't watch it, as the first scene concerned her character
watching her pet dog being burned to death in a car
accident. (Although nothing graphic was shown, the whole
idea was repellant to me as a dog owner so I didn't stay
tuned.)

She had unkempt mousy brown chin-length hair, wore ugly
thick-rimmed glasses, and squinted a lot. Another Hollywood
stereotype of the physically disabled (which the character
was supposed to be).

That wasn't her only appearance in Matlock. She played a marrige
therrapist who (get this) wanted a divorce from her husband, in "The
Divorce" I saw it the other day. It took me a second to recognize her
without the Bajoran nose and uniform.

She played a character named Georgina on One Life to Live for a time,
and I think she was also on Ryan's Hope, though I could be mixing her up
with Kate Mulgrew, who I know was on Ryan's Hope.

Er ... no. The (1963) is the date the *series* began, not when she was on
it. For example look at how Deep Space Nine TV Series says 1993 and not
(1993-) or 1997

True, but since it ended in 1982, she had to be younger than 25 at
least and was on Broadway '83-84.

The series The Doctor also had Jonathan Frakes (Riker of Course) and
Gil Gerard (Buck Rogers), as well as Alec Baldwin in it. Personally I
never saw the show that I recall.

Anyhow, I'm sure we all with her, Alexander, and their baby Django El
Bashir El Siddig all the best.

Huh? Nana wasn't pregnant during any of the 3 episodes of Matlock.
The third one (divorce) was just after Buster was born and just
before the DS9 pilot.
