TASHA YAR -- Star Trek: The Next Generation
   
The role of Security Chief Tasha Yar was played by Denise Crosby, who is the grandaughter of Bing Crosby.  She initially auditioned for the role of Deanna Troi, before being cast as Natasha Yar.  Tasha was killed after one season, but later returned in a story that used an alternate timeline.

Denise Crosby returned to STNG as Sela, the half-Romulan daughter of Tasha Yar (from another timeline).  She was even more warlike than her mother Tasha.
