While posing nude in Playboy has launched the careers of a number of actresses, like Jenny McCarthy, Carmen Electra and Pamela Anderson although a strange turn of events had already made Anderson popular in Canada, as I featured in an old Football Legends Revealed , it can also cause problems when they audition for "family" programming. In the May issue of Playboy which would have been released around March , there was a nude pictorial spread of Denise Crosby, who played Lt. Yar's character was killed off in an April episode. Reader Drew G. One legend I heard, many years ago, that I have always wondered about, and maybe this was covered already and I missed it, was that Denise Crosby's Lt. Yar character was killed off in the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation because she had appeared nude in a Playboy magazine.
