Wikipedia
Sierra (Spanish for mountain range and saw, from Latin serra) can refer to:
Sierra is a 1974 television crime drama series focusing on the efforts of National Park Service rangers to enforce federal law and to effect wilderness rescues. The program aired on NBC and was packaged by Jack Webb's Mark VII Limited for Universal Television. The show's theme song was written by Lee Holdridge (music) and John Denver (lyrics). Robert A. Cinader, executive producer of Mark VII's Emergency! (which partially inspired this show), handled this program also; Bruce Johnson produced.
Sierra was an American Contemporary Christian pop music trio formed by Wendi Foy Green (wife of well-known producer and sound engineer, Brian Green), Jennifer Hendrix, and Deborah Schnelle (wife of studio songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Rex Paul Schnelle). Founded in 1992, the vocal-based trio released their first full-length, self-titled album in 1994 on the CCM label, Star Song.
In 1998, Deborah Schnelle left the group and was soon replaced by Marianne Tutalo (wife of Coury Adams). After the release of five albums which produced a string of CCM radio hits including seven to reach #1, the group disbanded in 2002.
In 2004, Jennifer Hendrix and Marianne Tutalo formed the CCM worship band, Abide.
Sierra is a fictional character portrayed by Dichen Lachman in the Fox science fiction series Dollhouse, created by Joss Whedon. Within the series' narrative, Sierra is an "Active" or a "doll", one of a group of men and women who can be programmed with memories and skills to engage in particular assignments; in their default state, Actives are innocent, childlike and suggestible. Before having her memories wiped, Sierra's name was Priya Tsetsang. Although Sierra does not exhibit the same self-awareness that Echo has, she develops feelings such as love in her doll state.
Sierra is a 1950 Western film starring Audie Murphy. It is a remake of Forbidden Valley (1938). Tony Curtis and James Arness have small roles.
"Sierra" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music duo Maddie & Tae. It was released to radio on May 16, 2016 as the fourth single off of their debut studio album, Start Here. The song was written by the duo (Taylor Dye/Madison Marlow) and Aaron Scherz.
