r2 it was a good show, aesthetically it is also harder to watch older shows than before the 90s

Considering she left two large roles, in two separate shows, prematurely ... I'm thinking Farrell may be what they call "difficult". One show? It happens - maybe it really was a creative decision. Two? No.

Love this show. I don't know how Margaret put up with all of them.

She wanted more money than she was worth so she got fired.

R4: Anyone who values having all the latest technological doo-hickeys over good writing and good acting has no taste.

I used to know a guy named Becker. We called him "little pecker Becker"

Margaret was the librarian on the Electric Company. The "of" should be "off" you 'mos are pretty stupid to not be able to cope with a typo.
No wonder liberals are in such a mess.

You say typo. We say ignorant and illiterate or sloppy and lazy.
I'm sure the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Wow. I just looked her up. Hasn't worked since 2003 per IMDB. Just had a project this year, "Renegades" which states:
Renegades is an independently fan funded sci-fi web series, executive produced by Sky Conway.
Ugh. I actually feel bad for her now. Hope she cashed in on that Star Trek money while she could.

r1 from the link
[quote]What happened with Terry Farrell on Becker?...One story I've heard is that...
It gives a theory of why. The OP asked WHAT HAPPENED not, a guess, which is wrong
Creator and EP David Hackel and Farrell have both stated that it had nothing to do with Farrell supporting the cast in claims for a promised pay rise after season three which contradicts the link.

Can you not read r15?
In the link at r1 someone on Ken Levine's blog (head writer for Mash, Cheers) asking the question about what happened to Terry Farrell on Becker and saying that he heard she was fired. David Hackel, the show runner you mention, then answers the question himself saying it had nothing to do with contract negotiations and she was in fact a lovely person and great actress who was just written out of the show after the fourth season because they thought that was best for the storyline of the show.

R14 according to wikipedia she retired from acting.

She's was married (and still is) to that hot Sprint guy, Brian Baker, which would make any woman feel invincible, whether or not she really is.

I remember one Becker episode where his receptionist was tasked with planning his vacation, and she sent him on a gray cruise.

It's difficult to imagine she was a problem on set. Both shows are from Paramount.
I think it all has something to do with a Vulcan mind meld.

Farrell wasn't fired from Star Trek, so I don't think it was that she was difficult. She decided not to sign a new contract for DS9 season 7, but she did offer to do recurring guest spots. They didn't like that idea, so they just killed her off instead.
Shortly after she was written off Becker, she decided to retire from acting. The two recent projects on her imdb are just Star Trek related roles that she probably did for fun.
