Bing Crosby's Granddaughter: Star Trek & Hollywood Legacy

Denise Crosby, granddaughter of the iconic Bing Crosby, was recently seen out and about in Los Angeles. The 68-year-old actress, celebrated for her role as Security Chief Tasha Yar in "Star Trek: The Next Generation," maintained a casual appearance during errands. Her career highlights also include roles on "Days of Our Lives" and a memorable part in Stephen King's "Pet Sematary" (1989).

Crosby's family lineage is notable, being the daughter of Dennis Crosby, Bing Crosby's eldest son. However, her family history is also tinged with tragedy. Her father, Dennis, died by suicide on May 4, 1991, and her half-brother, Dennis Crosby Jr., passed away from a drug overdose on January 15, 2010. Denise herself was born in Hollywood on November 24, 1957, and reportedly never met her grandfather, Bing Crosby, who died in 1977.
