Notes & Trivia[]
- The character of Delenn was created by screenwriter J. Michael Straczynski and director Richard Compton.
- Regarding her work on Babylon 5, Mira Furlan has said:
Ambassador Delenn is an extraordinary character. She combines so many different traits. She's tough, but vulnerable... She's strong, but feminine... She's a pacifist, but can be militaristic... She has depth and spirituality, but can be funny and light at times... So yes, I think she's a great role model - not only for women - but for everyone. [1]
