Louise Fletcher has passed away at 88

Post by Tinadrin Chelnor »

Star Trek fans pay tribute to Kai Winn actress Louise Fletcher, following her death at 88.

Loved to hate Kai Winn on Deep Space Nine. Great character, sad to hear of her passing.

RIP. She was excellent as Kai Winn. Just the right amount of slimy.

Her character went to join the Pah Wraiths, surely, but let's hope she's with the Prophets. RIP.

Every so often I would see her in something else, and she just made each role her own, a very commanding presence.

Her acting in Trek was superb as it’s hard to pull off someone as that contemptible, with our being cartoonish.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
