For the younger lot , it might be Shabana Azmi or Liza Ray going bald for a role , or even model Diandra Soares, but the original will always be Miss India 1965 Persis Khambatta , more popular as Lieutenant Ilia in Star Trek The Motion Picture. Born & bred in Bombay, India , persis is the only indian to have an action figure modeled on her. Her bald head & long legs had hollywood smitten, she did go on to do a few more movies & guest star on a lot of tv shows there.
