I just found this out and its absolutely shocking. Kellie played Ensign Cutler in the first season of Enterprise, and I was hoping she would come back and maybe be a regular. This is a sad day and my condolences go out to her family. :( :( :(

35-year old actress Kellie Waymire, best known to Star Trek fans as Elizabeth Cutler on Enterprise, passed away Thursday evening through causes that are as yet unknown.

Waymire first appeared in Star Trek: Voyager in the sixth-season episode "Muse", playing the role of Lanya. During Enterprise's first season, she had a recurring role as Crewman Elizabeth Cutler, the love interest of Dr. Phlox, appearing in episodes "Strange New World", "Dear Doctor" and "Two Days and Two Nights". Waymire told Cult Times that she enjoyed appearing on Enterprise, as she had childhood dreams of becoming an astronaut, and liked working with actor John Billingsley (Phlox).

Besides Enterprise, Waymire had a recurring guest role on Six Feet Under, playing Brenda's escort friend Melissa, and appeared on shows such as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, NYPD Blue and Friends. She was a regular cast member of the short-lived shows Wolf Lake and The Pitts, the latter of which was cancelled by Fox earlier this year after only a few episodes.

Of late, Waymire had been performing in a production of the play 'Kate Crackernuts' by the 24th Street Theatre, playing the role of Anne. The play was scheduled to run through the end of this month, and the 24th Street Theatre has announced its final performances of the play will be dedicated to the memory of Waymire, with her part being taken over by Ryan Templeton. "Without her genius and professionalism, we never could have created this kooky world of 'Kate'," the cast and crew of the play posted on the 24th Street Theatre web site.

A public memorial for Waymire is being planned, but as yet no further details about this are known. Our thoughts are with Waymire's family and loved ones at this difficult time.

There have been a couple of messages posted at the Internet Movie Database website from people who worked with Kellie. Here's the URL if you wish to view those messages:

It's always shocking and unsettling when someone this young passes unexpectedly. I hope that a mention will be made of this on the Enterprise show, perhaps one of those things where an episode is dedicated to her memory. Condolences to her family and friends.

Crewman Cutler had great potential for a recurring character.

Wow. I read a brief interview with her in The Communicator some time ago where she said she would have liked to have appeared in more ENT episodes. What a shame. Antodav will also be shocked when he learns of this, as he often pulled for her to reappear.... :(

This really is a shock to me.

Does anyone know what happened?

The only reports I read said that she died suddenly and that an autopsy would be performed.

It is very sad when one so young (35) passes.

Startrek.com says early reports it was natral. I reckon it was a blood clot, in the head she didn't know about.

I think she was one of few beatiful women I have ever seen on Star Trek, this is why she was popular she was one of a kind actress and character. Everytime I log into startrek.coms homepage and see her I just feel shakie and sad.

Gabe,

Agreed. Perhaps I feel the way I do about this because rarely do cast members (regular or otherwise) pass away during the run of the series.

I'm hoping her passing was from "natural" ( I used quotes here because there is nothing natural about passing at 35) causes instead of other ones. As an ex-NYC EMT, I've seen my share of the "other" causes.

Her passing reminds me of the passing of another Star Trek actress. Persis Khambatta who played Lt. Ilia in ST:TMP. She was in her 30's too, I believe, and passed from complications of a heart condition. Absolutely beautiful woman from India.

Admiral,

It really is. She barely had a chance to live. :(
