My Take
Patricia Tallman fascinates me because she refused to be boxed in. Trained in fine arts at Carnegie Mellon, she could have chased conventional roles, yet she threw herself into stunt work and genre staples like Night of the Living Dead, Star Trek and Babylon 5. There's a particular toughness in performers who do their own physical work, and her later move into studio executive territory shows real range and ambition. I have deep respect for actors who build the spectacle others merely stand in front of. Tallman is exactly the kind of versatile, behind-and-before-the-camera talent I think deserves far more recognition.
