Celebrating Asian-American Heritage Month: Rosalind Chao, beautiful and talented Chinese-American actress

Rosalind Chao, born September 23, 1957 in Anaheim, California, is everyone's favorite Chinese-American actress.  She is probably best known for her role as Keiko O'Brien in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, for which she was nominated twice for Online Film & Television Association awards.

She appeared as Soon-Lee, Klinger's wife on M*A*S*H.  She also appeared in The Joy Luck Club, Murder, She Wrote, What Dreams May Come, Hawaii Five-O, and Mulan.

Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Disaster" airs 1991

Another of my favorite episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation series Disaster aired October 19, 1991.  After the Enterprise hits a quantum filament, the ship is incapacitated, isolating the crew.  Troi, Miles O'Brien and Ensign Ro are trapped on the bridge.  Picard is trapped in a turbolift with three children and his child-skills are put to the test.  Riker, Data, Worf and Keiko O'Brien are stuck in Ten Forward.  In a hilarious break from the drama, Keiko goes into labor and Worf has to deliver the baby.

Happy birthday, Keiko O'Brien!

Rosalind Chao, who played Keiko O'Brien in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, was born today in 1957. 

The episode "Disaster", in which the USS Enterprise is hit by a quantum filament, Worf and Keiko are trapped in Ten Forward, cut off from everyone else.  Although a month early, Keiko goes into labor and Worf must help deliver her baby in one of the funniest scenes in the entire show.
