Rosalind Chao (born 23 September 1957; age 66) is an actress best known for her portrayal of Keiko O'Brien (nee Ishikawa) in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. (While the character of Keiko is a Japanese national, the actress Chao is Chinese-American.) Chao appeared in eight episodes of Next Generation and nineteen episodes of Deep Space Nine.

Chao has remained friends with Colm Meaney and attended his wedding in Beverly Hills on 15 March 2007. At Grand Slam XV, Meaney said "It was lovely having my TV wife at my wedding". [1]

Her first major acting role was in the 1972 television series Anna and the King, in which she played Princess Serena.

She played Soon-Lee Klinger in the penultimate and final episodes of M*A*S*H with David Ogden Stiers. She would reprise the role in the short-lived spinoff, AfterMASH.

Chao also had recurring roles on other popular series, such as Diff'rent Strokes, in which she played Miss Chung, and Falcon Crest in which she played Li Ying. More recently, she has had recurring roles on 10-8: Officers on Duty, Six Feet Under and The O.C.

In 1987, she appeared in the series Max Headroom, along with Matt Frewer, Concetta Tomei, George Coe, Andreas Katsulas and W. Morgan Sheppard and the late Charles Rocket. In 2001, she played a midwife in a pivotal episode of Once and Again (with William O. Campbell and Paul Dooley.)

Chao has also made appearances in many successful films, including The Joy Luck Club (co-starring France Nuyen), What Dreams May Come (featuring Scott Trimble), I Am Sam (which also featured her TNG co-star Brent Spiner), and Freaky Friday (featuring Willie Garson).

In 2005, she starred in Just Like Heaven (with fellow TNG and DS9 guest star Ron Canada) and in Life of the Party (with VOY guest star David Clennon). Recently, she has made guest appearances on the HBO drama series Tell Me You Love Me. Ronny Cox has also appeared on that series.
