Seven years after her first Trek performance Dilley was hired to portrayed the Romulan Commander Sela in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Mind's Eye". For this part she also received no credit as she was only seen as the figure hiding in the shadows. Actress Denise Crosby who played Sela in the following episodes lent her voice for the scene in "The Mind's Eye". Dilley auditioned for this part with 49 other women and finally got the part. Unusuallly she got an acting contract for this role and was called back to work on more episodes of The Next Generation where she portrayed multiple aliens and Starfleet officers.

A few years earlier her union membership was the reason she was not hired for this part.
Two costumes worn by her were sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay including the Vulcan maiden costume [2] and an operations division officer uniform from the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Lessons". [3] The latter costume featured the name tag Miss Dilley. Dilley can also be seen along with costumer Kimberley Shull on the 1994 SkyBox trading card "Alterations" from the set The Making of Star Trek: The Next Generation. [4]
With a career of over twenty years as an actress Dilley worked on several other projects beside Star Trek. In 1981 she worked as a model for writer and director Michael Crichton on the science fiction thriller Looker with Trek alumni Leigh Taylor-Young, Georgann Johnson, Terrence E. McNally, Barry Jenner, Gary Combs, and Eurlyne Epper.
