Can we stop defining a woman's life by to whom she was married or dating? Please?
Well how many years? He died at 23. Unless it's another James Dean.
RIP to this beautiful lady though.
Like 6 celebrity died this week.
Rip
She was so exotic looking just beautiful
She was also a reg on Hogan's Heros it looks like, whenever I see that I wonder now if they ended up in Crane's home movies.
@The Real Dragon, can we use the term celebrity for the likes of Kim Kardashian and such?
Arlene Martel, Robin Williams, Lauren Bacall and J.J. Murphy were actors, with different degrees of sucess and talent, but none of them were "celebrities".
I remember her from Hogan's Heroes where she played a resistence fighter in numerous episodes. RIP
She also appeared in the classic Outer Limits episode "Demon with a Glass Hand."
She was not all that well-known, though, so I'm pleased to see you covering her passing. She was gorgeous and a prodigious talent.
Fine by me!
Not to nerd out too much...but she also starred in two episodes of The Monkees. :) She was a real beauty. RIP.
Clearly she should have taken Spock over that lug Stonn.
Snap- i yjinkb thats mentioned to jog a memory of who she was.
Pretttttty sure the Star Trek mention was sufficient for that.
I don't mean to sound like this is personal against you, @auntliddy--I'm just so frustrated that women seem to have to be defined by some relationship to a man in order to matter.
E.g. She's not a well-respected human rights lawyer, she's Clooney's fiancee. Sigh.
I agree Snapdragon.
It's cool that you use two totally unknown to me husbands in order to define some lady I didn't know but could put somewhere (star trek) without the clue.
RIP anyway.
Yeah. My sister had no idea who Lauren Bacall was until I mentioned she was married to Bogie.
I remember who she is and most of her commented (and memorable) roles just from the photo, but who the hell are those listed husbands?
Hottest Vulcan ever.
Ahh, what a shame. She was pretty great! Like said, she played Tiger on "Hogan's Heroes" and about a million other guest roles on all kinds of shows from the 60's and others.
