Denise Crosby And Her Low-Key Family!
As Lieutenant Natasha "Tasha" Yar on 'Star Trek: The Next Generation,' the actress Denise gave an impressive performance during her short appearance in the series. Though Denise's professional life is an open book for us, the actress is tight-lipped when it comes to her personal life. As a result, many of her fans are still wondering about her personal life that she has kept very confidential.
Well, Denise Crosby got married to Ken Sylk, best known for his small role in 1985 romantic drama film, 'Perfect,' back in the year 1995. The couple welcomed their first child soon after the marriage in 1998 and named him August William Sylk.
However, many of her fans may not be aware that the actress was previously married to the film director Geoffrey Edwards from 1983 to 1990. And like we can make out, their relationship did not last long and ended in a divorce. The reason behind the separation is not disclosed, and contrary to popular assumptions, the reason behind their divorce does not seem to be Edwards being gay.
Well, the actress does not particularly seem to enjoy to reveal any information about her family. And Denise's son, August, is not usually seen in the media, either.
However, the actress Denise Crosby was once accompanied by his son, August Willian Sylk, to the after-party of the Showtime's new series premiere of 'Ray Donovan' back in June 2013 in California.

How fast the time flies!
It must feel like not very long ago to Denise, too, that she was growing up with her siblings: two half-brothers, James Anthony Crosby and Dennis Michael Crosby.
Being born as the granddaughter of the actor and singer, Bing Crosby, and the daughter of the singer Dennis, Denise's nurture always inclined to the entertainment industry, but, oddly, she wanted to be a journalist. But it appears that her genetic profession drove her to the acting field.
