Lee Meriwether in THAT WHICH SURVIVES

Lee Meriwether, also known as Miss America of 1955, will be signing autographs for fans at the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention. The Clarion Hotel, Aberdeen, Maryland. She does have licensed STAR TREK photos of her from the episode and she will be signing them to fans. I just got the confirmation from the guy in charge of the convention.

Anyone who attends Shoreleave in Hunt Valley in a couple weeks can feel assured that MANC is located just 20 to 30 minutes away so if you attend Shoreleave I recommend you check this event out.

Meriwether signs for charity which reveals just how nice a woman she is.
 
^What about Ann McGregor from The Time Tunnel? That was the genre role she played the longest, though it's not as well remembered, apparently.

It's not as well-remembered because it doesn't get rerun nearly as much, consisting as it does of a single 30-episode season. I would have watched more if they'd made them, but Irwin Allen didn't want to continue at the price of the reduced budget ABC wanted.

Nothing wrong with Dr. McGregor, though.
 
The Time Tunnel is a fun experience for a Trek fan. You've got a young Vic Fontaine travelling through time, being monitored by Losira and Mr. Lurry.
 
It really would be fun to rewatch it, I think, but I haven't seen it since its original run ended in April 1967. I've had that experience with Trek guest actors turning up on other shows, though; The Wild Wild West and Ironside are only two rich examples which come to mind (neither featured any appearances by Meriwether, unfortunately.)
 
Lee was also the most-used female agent in the 4th season of Mission: Impossible, after Barbara Bain left and they didn't have a regular female costar. It's also the season Leonard Nimoy joined the cast.

I knew Paris was a master of disguise, but I had no idea he was actually a woman!;)

I'm amazed at how putting a rubber mask on also changes Paris' total physique, height, weight, and bone structure! In the ep I'm watching now he turned himself into Noel Harrison! :lol:
 
^Sometimes in M:I they did acknowledge that impersonations had to be limited to people of approximately the same build. I remember one episode where Paris said he couldn't impersonate someone because they were the wrong size, so they had to get rid of the real person some other way and have Paris pretend to be an assistant or colleague taking his place. And they didn't use the masks quite as often as I expected. More often than not, Paris is just Paris pretending to be someone else, someone the mark has never met so he doesn't have to change his appearance.

The one that really annoyed me was the one where Paris impersonated a Japanese man by wearing those little rubber epicanthic folds that were used for decades in Hollywood to make Western actors look Asian. It wasn't remotely convincing, not with Nimoy's aquiline nose, and yet the episode expected us to believe that he was able to fool actual Japanese people into thinking he was Japanese.

Reminds me of the Hawaii Five -0 ep with Ricardo Montalban trying to be Japanese. :rolleyes:

There was another with Mark Leonard as a Japanese. Not for a second did he convince me!

In the ep I'm watching ("The Falcon"), Paris had to switch from himself to Noel harrison and back, so we were supposed to believe he wore a Noel Harrison mask over his own face, and THEN a Nimoy mask over that! :lol:
