Jill Jacobson, an actress who appeared in a number of prominent TV shows over a career spanning four decades, has died at the age of 70.
Jacobson died on Cedars-Sinai’s Culver West Health Center in Culver City, California on December 8, her friend Dan Harary told The Hollywood Reporter, following a long-running health battle.
Jacobson’s notable roles included Erin Jones on 22 episodes of Falcon Crest from 1985–1987; Larue Wilson on eight episodes of The New Gidget from 1986–1987; and appearances on a pair of Star Trek shows in the 80s and 90s.
Jacobson’s credits in Gene Roddenberry’s legendary sci-fi series include parts on Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1989 as Vanessa and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in 1996 as Aroya.
Jacobson’s colleague Caryn Richman, who she worked with on the Gidget reboot, praised her late peer personally and professionally to THR.
‘Jill’s comic timing was brilliant nd her enthusiasm and love of life made our time together on set joyful,’ Richman said.
