Madlyn Rhue In TWOK

We have a piece that will demolish that notion. We're just waiting on a reply from a primary source to button it up.
I guess I was a little too gentle in offering a correction. I tried.
Well at least you tried!
We don't only post here, ya know.
This I remember. In the summer I would work with my grandpa on the farm and after working all morning and dinner (we would now call it lunch) he would take a nap. I didn't take a nap but there wasn't much else to do and they only got good reception on two channels so I would often watch Days of Our Lives. The summer of 1983 I remember well because of historic floods that year. I recognized her from "Space Seed" and she seemed perfectly fine. She played the mother of one main characters and was "bad" IIRC. John de Lancie was on it at that time too.
Jumping back to the uphill task of playing whack-a-myth: For instance, our takedown of the Gregg Palmer myth re “Spectre of the Gun” is now on Memory Alpha, which is a go to for a lot of people. So we chip away bit by bit as we can. It’s rather necessary to bury these things under insurmountable evidence to smother them to death. This is why these pieces take so long to put together.

Posted this in the Introducing Fact Trek topic, but since the subject matches this thread...
Bum bum BUM!
We've finished our maybe not epic but certainly thorough analysis of this myth. It'll be posted in the next few days. We have a few images and citations to tidy up. We'll post the link when it goes live.
Annnnnd we got Nicholas Meyer on the record on the subject. He was nice enough to answer our questions.

I find it quite odd The Original Series Blu-ray disc releases for Space Seed, Season One and The Roddenberry Vault, don't feature text commentary from Mike and Denise Okuda.
Not promoting this until 9am PDT on Twitter, but we're give you a sneak preview....
Well, our latest FACT TREK is up. In Trek II Myths Rhue the Day we dissect whether Khan's "beloved wife" Marla McGivers was dropped from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan due to actress Madlyn Rhue being wheelchair-bound. True? Or is it just another baseless myth?
We dug through ProQuest, newspapers, scoured Daily Variety, reviewed shows she appeared in, pored over unfilmed screenplays to see what was planned for her character (in detail), and found video of her telling her own story. We even got ST2 director Nick Meyer to talk to us.
BONUS! We include a brief snippet of workprint audio of the only dialog—deleted from the film—which mentions her my name.
