Biography

Shepard was born in New York City, New York. In the mid 1980s, Shepard was a co-lead singer and percussionist in the short-lived all-female group American Girls. The band then released one album, in 1986 American Girls on I.R.S. Records.[1]

When that group ended, she moved into acting, appearing in numerous motion picture and television series. Shepard may be best known for her recurring role as the evil pirate queen, Divatox, in the Power Rangers franchise, starting with Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. During the first half of the Power Rangers Turbo season, Shepard was replaced by actress Carol Hoyt in the role of Divatox while she was on maternity leave.

She portrayed two characters on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: the Benzite ensign Hoya in “The Ship” and the genetically enhanced Lauren in "Statistical Probabilities" and "Chrysalis".

She played Zena in the film Scanner Cop.

In 1992, she guest-starred in two episodes of Full House's sixth season as KFLH D.J. Julie in "Radio Days" and "Lovers And Other Tanners".

Shepard and actress Daryl Hannah co-created two board games, "Love It or Hate It" and "LIEbrary,"[1][2] the latter having been previewed by Hannah on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in December 2005.

In 2017, she was cast in the short movie The Order, alongside other former Power Rangers cast members.[3][4][5]
