Star Trek: Voyager season 2 had an episode about Amelia Earhart, breaking a franchise rule about historical figures that TNG had also broken.

Voyager broke a Star Trek rule by depicting the original Amelia Earhart, unlike other historical figures who were clones or holograms.
The inclusion of the real Amelia Earhart provided a concrete explanation for her disappearance and referenced the popular theory of her abduction by aliens.
Earhart's interactions with Captain Janeway showcased the parallels between them as pioneering women in their respective fields, leaving a memorable mark on the franchise.
