Nana Visitor

Nana Visitor started her career in the theater as a dancer on Broadway. She starred in Chicago, toured opposite Angela Lansbury in the musical Gypsy, and was Twiggy’s understudy in the musical My One and Only. Besides playing Major Kira in Star Trek: Deep Space 9, Nana has appeared in dozens of guest shots through the years, including Torchwood and Battlestar Galactica. She has many Family Guy episodes to her credit, and an asteroid out there somewhere named in her honor. Nana is very proud of her community on Instagram (@visitornana), where she is Mama Nana and passes on what she’s learned about being human through her personal experience and through the lens of neuroscience. She is giving a TEDX talk at Space Force on the subject.
