'Elizabeth Cutler' Actress Kellie Waymire Dies Suddenly at Age 35

By Steve Krutzler / 18:16, 16 November 2003 / People

News has reached the STAR TREK world that VOYAGER and ENTERPRISE guest actress Kellie Waymire has suddenly passed away at the age of 35. Waymire died last Thursday according to sources, the cause unknown.

Waymire endeared herself to TREK fans most recently as 'Elizabeth Cutler' on ENTERPRISE. In the show's first season, she appeared in three episodes: "Strange New World," "Dear Doctor," and "Two Days and Two Nights." Cutler had become an early source of romantic interest for John Billingsley's 'Doctor Phlox'.

ENTERPRISE wasn't her first trip in space, as she appeared in the VOYAGER sixth season episode "Muse." Waymire had also been a part of the short-lived Fox comedy series THE PITTS just a few months ago. She also had recent guest stints on NYPD BLUE, CSI, and SIX FEET UNDER. She also recently filmed an episode of the Bryan Fuller (writer/producer, VOY)-created WONDERFALLS.

The actress had recently been involved in a stage production at the 24th Street Theatre in Los Angeles. The cast and crew of KATE CRACKERNUTS has dedicated the final performances of the show on November 21st and 22nd to the actress:

"We dedicate this production of KATE CRACKERNUTS to Kellie Waymire, for without her genius and professionalism, we never could have created this kooky world of 'Kate.'"

Waymire was recently interviewed by StarTrek.com. Thanks to TrekToday for contributing to this story.

Crewman Cutler was one of the best supporting characters on ENTERPRISE, and it was largely due to the warmth and energy Kellie Waymire brought to her character. I hope that Berman and co. will do a special memorial tribute slide to her on an upcoming episode the same way they did for Jerry Fleck, who we also lost earlier this season.

She will be missed by all.

This is sad! I knew this would happen sometime; going to Trekweb and learn that some actor/actress in Star Trek had died... I know very little about Kellie Waymire but I was fasinated by her appearance on Enterprise. I really wish she'd been there more often.. Now, she won't be.. Rest in peace!

As with the other people here, my sympathies are extended to her friends, family, and the people whose lives she lit up by being there.

My sympathies to her family and friends. She was a good actress and I enjoyed her character on Enterprise.

This is stunning news of her passing. I really had hoped that she would be used more often in Enterprise because she seemed like a very good addition character wise to the Enterprise Crew. She will be missed by Star Trek Enterprise fans.

I too liked the character of Crewman Cutler. She was a competent scientist and a down-to-earth woman who wasn't afraid of expressing her feelings and desires.

Kellie now joins the "Great Bird of the Galaxy" and hopefully is resting in peace.

I just finished responding to someone and mentioned Kellie Waymire's character in the post, clicked the "post it now" button, and while I was waiting I saw the top story in the Top Stories column.

This is rather sad. I can't imagine what could cause someone so young to pass so suddenly. It's always a shock when this happens. Another life unfulfilled... I don't know what to say except that death sucks!
