    Victoria did appear in the last filmed episode of Land of The Giants though and appeared as Angela Dorian, instead of her real name, in Rosemary's Baby in 1968!

    The trouble with the way those MA pages were edited is exactly why I edited the Wikipedia entry the way I did: if you just delete the erroneous information without addressing it chances are someone's just going to come along and add it right back in.

    She is credited in the TATV and the TOS autograph book.

    That's what's so frustrating about this stupid Vetri rumor -- it's been mistakenly taken as fact for so long that it's infected many sources, and it'll be a hard fight to set the record straight.

    The best way is to find out the actresses' name. Might be too late?

    Great to have a confirmed, ironclad answer to the mystery rather than some guy's vague online guess mistaken for fact. Let's hope the hard evidence is enough to overcome the inertia of the Victoria Vetri myth on sites like IMDb.

    The name "April Tatro" sounds oddly familiar to me, even though her only credit I recognize is episode 4 of Wonder Woman in 1976.

    I added the debunk info of the Vetri myth on Wikipedia a while back and it stuck. Both the "Assignment: Earth" and Vetri articles have since been updated with today's corrected information.

    Great detective work! Can't believe we finally have a conclusive answer.

    And, yeah, I wonder how long it will take for the Vetri thing to finally die out. (As recently as yesterday, fans on-line were still insisting it was Veti.)

    What amazes me is that Tatro is still around and has been in show biz all this time. I always assumed that the unnamed extra who played Isis had died or vanished into obscurity. I mean, how do you not brag about having guested on STAR TREK?

    To make an obscure Roddenberry-related joke... this has been The Long Hunt of April Tatro.

    I wonder if Larry went looking for it or just stumbled on it.

    This is great to know. I've updated my personal files accordingly. The erroneous published books are frustrating, though.
