In Star Trek: First Contact, which actress played Lily Sloane?

Alfre Woodard played Lily Sloane in Star Trek: First Contact.

Lily Sloane is the human scientist who works with Zefram Cochrane on the Phoenix, humanity’s first warp-capable spacecraft. After being injured in a Borg attack, she is taken aboard the USS Enterprise-E, where she becomes an important link between the crew and the people of 2063.

Woodard’s performance gives Lily a skeptical, grounded perspective on the advanced technology and strange visitors surrounding Cochrane’s launch. Her scenes with Captain Jean-Luc Picard also highlight Picard’s emotional struggle as he faces the Borg and risks becoming consumed by revenge.

Star Trek: First Contact was released in 1996 and was directed by Jonathan Frakes. Lily Sloane is a fictional character, although the film places her alongside the historically inspired figure Zefram Cochrane during the first-contact event.
