Spice Williams (born 26 April 1952; age 57), known as Spice Williams-Crosby since 2003, is an action actress, stuntwoman, and stunt coordinator who portrayed the Klingon Vixis in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. In 1993 she appeared as a Klaestron kidnapper in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Dax" alongside Tom Morga. One year later, Williams-Crosby doubled guest actress Megan Gallagher in the second season episode "Invasive Procedures" in a fight scene with fellow stuntwoman Patricia Tallman. Her latest Trek performance was doubling for Star Trek: Voyager leading actress Jeri Ryan. Her trousers from "Dax" were sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay and were later re-used by Roxann Dawson's photo double Susan Lewis in Star Trek: Voyager. [1]

Williams-Crosby was born as Marceline Ann Williams on a ranch in North Hollywood, California. She began her career in show business as a singer and dancer before becoming a stunt performer. She is also a famous bodybuilder and a vegan. Williams-Crosby married Gregory Crosby – the first grandson of Bing Crosby and half-brother to Denise Crosby – on 26 August 1989. They have one son, Luke.

In addition to her roles on Star Trek, she has appeared in or performed stunts for over 100 films and television programs, including Roseanne and From Dusk Till Dawn and has doubled for actresses like Louise Fletcher and Meg Foster.

In 2004 Williams-Crosby auditioned for the part of a boxer alongside friend and stuntwoman Rosine "Ace" Hatem in Clint Eastwood's Academy Award winning drama Million Dollar Baby. While Hatem was cast as a boxer, Williams-Crosby got the part of an Irish fan and had to learn this special language. Most of her scenes ended up on the cutting room floor. Fellow Trek performers Lucia Rijker, Benito Martinez, Tom McCleister, Jamison Yang, Miguel Perez, Marco Rodriguez, Jude Ciccolella, Bridgett Riley, and Boni Yanagisawa also appeared in this film.
