Claudia Ann Christian (born August 10, 1965 in Glendale, California) is an American actress, writer, singer, musician, and director. She is most famous for her role as Commander Susan Ivanova on the science fiction television series Babylon 5. She left the series unexpectedly following the fourth season, when contract negotiations for the fifth and final season - aggravated by the prospect that there would not be one - broke down. (Her appearance in the series finale was filmed during the fourth season.) Before Babylon 5, Christian was best known for her feature film roles as a stripper possessed by aliens in The Hidden (1987) and as model Hexina in Hexed (1993). She has also posed for Playboy Magazine In October of 1999. Her most recent work is in the BBC comedy series, Broken News in 2005.
