Confirmed: Isis was NOT Victoria Vetri

[Mr. Laser Beam]

If she's only seen in cutaways they might not have even had her on set at the same time as the rest of the scenes were shot. She might've been first-in or last-in.

Good point. In fact I think the only time we ever see human Isis is when she's sitting on the couch and there's no one else in the scene. So she may not have even met the rest of the cast.

And at the time, IIRC, extras had their own union (they weren't yet SAG members) and so were almost never credited.

"Isis" and Teri Garr did appear together in one shot (well, two shots but one setup):

Nevermind about Isis, the security guard that Seven zaps with his magic pen appears in like 20 episodes and we have no idea who played him either.

Can you name another episode/scene?

And yes, humanoid Isis does appear with Roberta in one shot in "Assignment: Earth". I was vague on it when I posted yesterday, which is why I qualified it as "if she's only seen in cutaways".

According to the episode's call sheet dated Friday, January 5, 1968, the female (new) atmosphere player -- as she was identified -- was on the set at the same time as Lansing, Shatner, Nimoy, and Garr. One or more of these actors should know her name.

We actually need to have this confirmed or denied?

Yes. It's along the same lines as the careful documentation of every single prop used in TOS right down to the smallest medical gadgets.

The way the internet is going now, this thread will be used as proof Victoria Vetri was in ISIS.

Should they? It was over 50 years ago, and she was a bit player.

There are always possibilities, but I would be shocked if they could.

Garrett should be asked,but not pressured. Shatner might have known.

One or more of those actors isn't going to be able to tell us even if they did know.

I thought Joanna Cameron was in Isis.

Boy, did I have the hots for her just coming into puberty as I was when that show was on.

Oh Mighty Isis. Maybe not as they intended, but yep.

I was too young to appreciate Joanna Cameron's charms when the show was on. Thank goodness for DVDs.

At least half of them would require a seance to contact.

 

[The Old Mixer]

Could Isis do seances?

Hey, maybe Billy could call the Elders!

 

[FormerLurker]

The cat isn't talking either.

They get like that when they die.

Thank God for Buck Rogers and Wonder Woman, or I would have exploded.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Would any of the cast or crew really recall the name of someone they worked with briefly years ago?

You noticed the winky emoji I put in that post, correct?

There have been many people over the course of my 35 year career, whom I worked closely with for a year or two apiece, that today I could only give you a first name on, if that. Also, there are coworkers in my office today that I can't put a name to because I don't give a sh--.
