My Take
Catherine Hicks has the kind of warm, grounded presence that makes you trust her instantly, which is exactly why she anchored '7th Heaven' for so long as Annie Camden. But I think genre fans like me have a soft spot for her elsewhere: she's the marine biologist Gillian in 'Star Trek IV', easily the most charming entry in the franchise, and she's the mom fighting a possessed doll in the original 'Child's Play'. That range, from prestige TV movie about Marilyn Monroe to camp horror to wholesome family drama, shows a working actress who could land just about anything thrown at her.
