Biography
East Indian model and actress who made her modeling debut at the age of 13. Khambatta was the winner of a beauty contest as Miss India at 16. She starred in Indian films, winning a Best Actress award in her own country and branching out into high fashion modeling in London and New York. In Hollywood her exotic, classic beauty was seen in the films "The Wilby Conspiracy" and "Conduct Unbecoming." She is most noted and remembered for appearing as the bald headed navigator from the planet Delta in "Star Trek, the Movie" in 1979.
A member of the Paris sect, she was raised by her mother after her father left when she was just two.
Khambatta married in Hollywood, actor Cliff Taylor, for a devastating two months in the '80s. Inexplicably, her career faded after "Star Trek" with only a few minor roles in film and TV.
She died of a heart attack on 8/18/1998 in Bombay, at 49.
