Marj Dusay

Marj Dusay worked with Elvis Presley in the movie Clambake before she starred in Star Trek. Then she played roles in the classic series: Hogan's Heroes and Hawaii Five-O. She played the role of Kara in the episode 'Spock's brain' in Star Trek: The Original Series. Even though she was only there in a single episode, her performance is excellent.
