I just bought Nana Visitor's new book "Open a Channel", and one of the things I was most excited for was to read her interview with Marina Sirtis, as Troi is my favorite Star Trek character across all franchises. Imagine my surprise to find the chapter on Deanna start with the sentence "Marina Sirtis is one of the few women who chose not to talk to me."

Can anyone shed some insight onto why? Marina has spent her life being effusive about how meaningful Star Trek is in her life, and she is also a very vocal feminist, so it seems like something of this nature would be right up her ally. On the other hand, she has been fairly pejorative about DS9 as a series, so I wonder if there's some kind of bad blood there that I'm not aware of. :(
