Law (starring Corbin Bernsen and Larry Drake), Silk Stalkings, and Matlock. and made guest appearances on such series as Hardcastle & McCormick (starring Brian Keith and Daniel Hugh Kelly), The A-Team (with Dwight Schultz), L.A. She also had a recurring role on Magnum, P.I. DuBois was listed in the opening credits of every episode although she only appeared in ten episodes. Between 19, DuBois portrayed Princess Koji of Matuka in the adventure series Tales of the Gold Monkey, starring Stephen Collins. I was not familiar with her post Magnum career, I didn't watch many of those shows listed but lately have felt I missed out on Tales of the Gold Monkey, I need to try and track that down.Ardra Marta Dubois ( 15 December 1952 – age 65) was the actress who played the impostor Ardra in the Star Trek: The Next Generation fourth season episode " Devil's Due".ĭubois was born in David, Panama. These were important memories for our lives and their passing's hit unexpectedly sometimes. It's great when "new blood" joins the forum! I appreciate your feelings towards Marta and I get it. She's being targeted by her mad bomber psycho husband played by Ed O'Ross. ![]() I first saw her in an episode of WALKER TEXAS RANGER called "Blown Apart" from 1995. She's a major reason why "Memories are Forever" is pretty much tied with "Did You See the Sunrise" as my favorite MPI episode. Big fan of hers as well! Marta DuBois was very striking (actually mesmerizing) as Michelle and it's easy to see why Magnum fell so hard for her. RIP Marta, you will always be missed, but never forgotten. So much that I would like to say about Marta, but I will leave it at that. Very glad to hear that Michelle was her favourite role. And she is still a knockout at 50 plus.Īnd I would like to thank you guys for those interview links. You get to see her 20 years after Magnum. I was very happy to see that she did the McBride TV movies, 10 of them. Plus there is Star Trek TNG, and some other parts. Just watched the pilot of " Tales of the Gold Monkey" and one of her McBride movies. I really only have ever known her as Michelle, but am going to check out her other bodies of work in TV and film. On a positive note, it just makes me appreciate what we do have of her. It is strange that news of her death has made me feel this sad and somewhat depressed. And clearly it is having an impact right now. It's not like I am obsessed or anything, although I did just join this site, lol, but her character Michelle made a big impact on me, going back 40 years now. And to be perfectly honest, it has hit me pretty hard for some reason ? I just looked her up on imdb a couple of days ago, and found out that she died suddenly in May 2018. It looks like the clip above is part of the larger interview you were referencing.īrand new guy here, and unfortunately some of my very first posts are about the sudden death of Marta Dubois. I started looking around and came across these. I hope she was happy in her last years, and I hope she has atleast planted some good seed in the aspiring actors that found their way to the wokshop. It was a heavy conversation more about keeping the faith in a difficult career choice, suffering loss, and getting back to a place of peace and joy. It should be pretty easy to find again if interested. She also mentioned having a conversation with Stacy Keach during some downtime on a set, and that they had a discussion about PEDs in sports, cutting corners to succeed, along those lines. do I really need to say she said Michelle was it. Two bits I thought were kinda cool and stood out, She was asked something to the affect - what was your favorite role or favorite experience as an actor working on a set. this interview was 2013, before the MeToo movement. ![]() The conversation was really and mostly about her work in her husband's actors workshop, training young actors to remain moral and not to sellout and do something they would later regret simply to get a part. Marta was really shaken by his passing and she said it was what drove her back to the religion of her youth, she was raised Catholic. She said a number of times she had lost her husband Sal 6 years ago, he died in 2007. Interestingly, I had recently listened to the audio of what I think was a Skype conversation with Marta from around 2013. ![]() The Sal Dano Actors Workshop was his, or was started in his name or honor. Neither IMDB or Wikipedia made mention of her marriage to Sal Dano, I believe his given name was Salvatore Giardano, I'm sure I've got the spelling wrong.

Died has since been removed, around the 14th.
