PROFILE
Birthplace: Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Birthdate: 11/19/64
She once had ears that came straight out of her head, so at 18, she had cosmetic
surgery to fix it.
At George Washington Senior High School she was called the "stringed bean."
In the early 1980's she was often mistaken for Brooke Shields.
--Jason P. Heym
"She is from my hometown and went to my high school: George Washington Senior
High School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I think she would have been a senior when I
was a sophomore ( I'm class of '85) but she left school before her senior year
to go to New York to model. I never met her but I remember someone put her
picture up in the office as one of those 'local kid does good' items. Anyway,
since it's not very often someone from CR (or at least attended some high school
there) gets famous so I thought I would share my limited info. Unfortunately,
I have no idea if any big articles have been run in the CR paper since I no
longer live there, but if I should get further info I will pass it along if
anyone is interested."

MODELING ADVERTISEMENTS
Estee Lauder, 1992:
"I found a two-page spread of an Estee Lauder ad in a Vogue magazine with Terry
Farrell in it, from about a year ago. Somebody on the net claimed that only
one woman -- not our T.F -- models for Estee Lauder and therefore it couldn't
be Terry. I don't buy that. I'm looking at the picture right now and this
woman looks just like Dax, only she has more makeup, less clothing, and no
Trill spots. Even the dopey hairstyle is the same. And the same serene
expression on her face, too. If this ain't Dax, it has to be her evil twin
sister! (for reference, the ad is a photograph of a woman wearing brown
gossamer silk sitting on a dock in a tropical setting)."
--Diane Westerfield
Kool cigarettes, 19??:
"I can't believe you don't have her as the "Kool girl". That is, she is the
girl (one of them at least) in the Kool cigarette print ads. And yes, I am
sure about this (a few years ago)."
--Chris J. Wein
_Mademoiselle_ and _Vogue_, 19??:
"...'supermodel' Terry has been on the cover of both VOGUE and MADEMOISELLE."
--Dean Adams

================================================================================
FILM
Format..."Film" [Category] (Director, Year): Character's name
"Portfolio" [Drama] (Robert Guralnick, 1983):
--Ron C. Carman
"This has no plot--just a series of interviews endeavoring to make modeling look
appealing.
Rated R for profanity. 83 m.
CAST: Carol Alt, Julie Wolfe, Patty Owen, Kelly Emberg, Paulina Porizkova."
--Mick Martin and Marsha Porter
[They gave the film * out of a possible ***** rating]
"Back to School" [Comedy] (Alan Metter, 1986):
"A true surprise from the usually acerbic Rodney Dangerfield, who sheds his lewd
'n' crude image in favor of one more sympathetic and controlled. He stars as
the self-made owner of a chain of 'Tall and Fat' stores who decides to return
to college for a never-achieved diploma. He selects the college attended by
his son in order to spend more time with the boy (well played by Keith
Gordon).
Rated PG-13 for occasionally vulgar humor. 96 m.
CAST: Rodney Dangerfield, Sally Kellerman, Burt Young, Keith Gordon, Robert
Downey Jr., Ned Beatty, M. Emmet Walsh, Adrienne Barbeau, William Zabka,
Severn Darden."
--Mick Martin and Marsha Porter
[They gave the film ***1/2 out of a possible ***** rating]
"...a really funny movie and worth seeing even without Ms. Farrell."
--Richard Gralnik
"Off the Mark" [Comedy] (Bill Berry, 1986): ?
"This off-the-wall comedy centers around Mark Neely, who once hosted a Russian
boy (Terry Farrell) in his home for a year. Now they're both grown up and
competing in a triathlon. The two leads are a delight.
81 m.
CAST: Mark Neely, Terry Farrell, Virginia Capers, Jon Cypher, Barry Corbin."
--Mick Martin and Marsha Porter
[They gave the film *** out of a possible ***** rating]
[What confuses me (and others I'm sure) is why Terry apparently played a boy?]
"Things in it I did notice before I realized it was Terry from ST:DS9 : She ran
in cut off T-shirt, she was nekked in the showers, she was stripping on a
table with a bunch of guys around her..."
--Eugene Hsu
"The movie itself is nothing special, deriving most of its humor from extremely
bad puns, but it does have Farrell in a number of skimpy outfits. I don't
think there are any nude scenes, but I can't be sure since the movie was
pretty heavily edited by USA [Network]."
--Dave Litchman
"Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth" [Horror] (Anthony Hickox, 1992): Joey
Summerskill
"Pinhead returns, only this time he's brought some new friends and they don't
want to go back where they came from. Combin gory (and very imaginative
special effects and a slightly off-center sotory and you have one that should
please fans, but make others sick.
Rated R for graphic profanity, simulated sex, and graphic violence. 90 m.
CAST: Terry Farrell, Doug Bradley, Paula Marshall, Kevin Bernhardt, Ashley
Lawrence."
--Mick Martin and Marsha Porter
[They gave the film *** out of a possible ***** rating]

TELEVISION COMMERCIALS
Shampoo (19??): "...her hair doesn't get wet, they just show how great the
shampoo works on her hair. Damn, I wish I could remember which brand it was
...Nice and Easy...it wasn't Prell...maybe Lori-ell (sp!)...definitely not
Suave! But I have seen her in the commercial... It's been a while since I've
seen the commercial, though."
--Patrick Sun
================================================================================
TELEVISION INTERVIEWS
Format..."Title" (Network/Syndicated, Month/Day/Year)
"Inside 'Star Trek'" (E! Entertainment News Network, 1993): "This was a basic
behind-the scenes look at 'ST:TNG' and 'ST:DS9', and there were clips from
interviews with cast members from both shows, including Ms. Farrell."
--Jeffrey Koga [editor]
"Terry Farrell: Hostess Cupcake" (KCOP, Channel 13 in Los Angeles, 11/25/93):
"...the L.A. station KCOP did a report on Terry a couple of weeks ago."
--Dean Adams
================================================================================
TELEVISION MOVIES
Format..."Title" (Network/Syndicated, Month/Day/Year): Character's name
"Beverly Hills Madam" (?, ?): ?
"The Deliberate Stranger (?, ?): ?
"L.A. Madame" (NBC Movie of the Week, ?): ?
"Danielle Steele's '_Star_" (NBC, 9/?/1993): ?
"She played this wealthy, ambitious, shallow type. She wore a lot of nice suits
and evening wear. She had 2 bedroom scenes (that I saw) and one bikini
scene."
--Melissa B. Koch
"Terry was very good, but she also was the only thing worth watching in it (and
the only reason I watched :)."
--Dean Adams
================================================================================
TELEVISION SERIES
Format..."Title" (Network/Syndicated, Month/Day/Year), "Episode title":
Character's name
"Mimi & Me" (?, ?), "The Pilot": ?
--Ron C. Carman
"Paper Dolls" (ABC, 9/?/1984-12/?/1984): Laurie Caswell
--Ron C. Carman
"The Cosby Show" (NBC, ?/?/1985), No episode title given: ?
"This was a fairly old episode (1985); in it, she plays the girlfriend of one of
Cliff Huxtable's friends. (Yes, somebody robbed the cradle...he was 53, while
she was probably only in her early or mid-20s.)
For another plot clue, though...in another thread in the same ep, Claire teases
Cliff about what he'd do if she died (specifically, would he remarry, go out
on dates, etc.). After Terry Farrell's character and her boyfriend make their
appearance, the same kind of 'debate' continues among some of the other
regulars on the show. This might help to further nail down the specific
episode."
--Scott Alfter
"Family Ties" (NBC, ?/?198?): ?
"The New Twilight Zone" (Syndicated, 198?), "The After Hours": Marsha
"Appeared in a remake of an episode of the original TZ series. She plays a young
woman who is trapped in a shopping mall after closing time and stalked by
strangers who seem to know all about her."
--David Thiel
"Quantum Leap" (NBC, 199?), "A Leap for Lisa": Lisa
"Red Dwarf" (almost NBC): Cat
"Terry Farrell landed the role of Cat in the American version of the popular
British sci-fi comedy "Red Dwarf". The unaired pilot and series was rejected
by NBC. This was right before she landed the role of Jadzia Dax on ST:DS9."
--Jonathan Tham
"Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (Syndicated, 1/?/1993?-now): Jadzia Dax
