I recall in the late 80's General Mills ran a contest that was to award a "walk-on" role in Star Trek: The Next Generation to the winner. Does anyone know who this winner was and in what episode they appeared?

Since I got no responses, and did not know the answer myself, I did some quick research and found the following explanation on startrek.com: September 15, 1987 Some 24 million boxes of Cheerios and Honey-Nut Cheerios appear, carrying news of a TNG walk-on contest. The contest, sported from boxes on store shelves nationwide, is the biggest of many up-front promotional tie-in campaigns for the new series, roughly two weeks before its debut. Fans could also redeem the backs of four different stickers found inside the cereal and $1.00 to receive a poster of illustrator and designer Andy Probert's Enterprise-D artwork as seen hung in the Ready Room. The eventual walk-on role contest winner was an elderly woman who did not care to "claim her prize." Jul 11 08, 8:44 AM
