Arlene Martel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arlene Martel (born April 14, 1936 in New York City, New York) is an American actress and acting coach. Prior to 1964, she was frequently billed as Arline Sax, Arlene Sax, or sometimes as Tasha Martel.
Martel is probably best known for her appearances in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Amok Time" (as T'Pring) and the original The Outer Limits episode "Demon with a Glass Hand", an episode considered by many to be the best of that series.
Martel also played the evil witch "Malvina" on the classic television series Bewitched, and the French Underground contact "Tiger Lily" on Hogan's Heroes.
And although it was only a bit part lasting less than five minutes of the 97 minute movie, she received top billing when she starred as the lady commandant in charge of the Russian road crew in Zoltan, Hound of Dracula (1978). In appreciation for a mere five minutes of screen time in Zoltan, she received credits in a font so big that it was almost twice that used for Reggie Nalder or Michael Pataki, the leads who occupied most of the screen through the rest of the movie.
Martel has been married and divorced three times and has three children. She resides in Santa Monica, California.
